ALIGNING MODULE OUTCOMES WITH IDENTIFIED COMPETENCIES: A QUANTITATIVE MAPPING APPROACH
Faisal Araba , Military Technological College, Muscat, OmanAbstract
This study proposes a quantitative approach to aligning module outcomes with identified competencies in educational settings. Competency-based education emphasizes the acquisition of specific skills and knowledge essential for success in various fields. However, mapping module outcomes to identified competencies can be challenging due to the complexity of educational programs and the diverse nature of competencies. In this paper, we present a systematic methodology for quantitatively assessing the alignment between module outcomes and identified competencies. This approach involves defining a set of measurable criteria for both module outcomes and competencies, assigning numerical scores to indicate the degree of alignment, and analyzing the data using statistical techniques. Through a case study analysis, we demonstrate the application of this quantitative mapping approach in real-world educational contexts. The findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of educational programs in fostering desired competencies and highlight areas for improvement in curriculum design and delivery.
