Review Procedure

The paper deals with the design and review of curriculum of a formal study program employing the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology that can take into account of the requirements of various stakeholders such as, academics, students, sponsors, employers, and accreditation agencies. Starting with a simple model for teaching and learning, in which curriculum is one of the basic elements, the paper describes curriculum review procedure employing the QFD planning tool known as House of Quality. Then, it presents a case study on the review of mechanical engineering program of the PNG University of Technology.

Main Challenge

Enrolment into Arabic as a second language (ASL) in Dubai has increased steadily due to the high influx of immigrant populations. Although Arabic is the primary language in Dubai mandatory taught in primary schools in Dubai, training and learning face challenges that affect learning a teaching objective. The extant investigation aimed to examine the teaching and learning of ASL in Dubai through exploring the importance of ASL, ALS programs in Dubai, ASL changes and solutions, and the role of technology infusion and motivation in ASL training and learning. The examination utilized a qualitative case study where seven teachers and eight learners were interviewed. The researcher analyzed the data using thematic analysis. The data obtained revealed that ASL is important among non-Arabic natives and immigrants since its improved communication and interaction. The main challenge noted included curriculum shortcomings, inadequate training and learning, poor technology utilization, and insufficient learning times. The findings suggested curriculum review, increase in the technology used in training and learning, and allocation of more time for ASL lessons to curb the challenges. The examinations discuss the policy, practice, and research implications of the findings. Although the findings are insightful in ASL training and learning in Dubai, the researcher recommended extensive research using different methodologies, sample sizes, and other cities in the UAE.

Practical Implications

The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is committed to ensuring that its students are not only discipline savvy but also skilled in generic capabilities. To facilitate the development of generic capabilities within its educational programs QUT has supported a project, which involved the creation of a web based tool known as the Student Capability Profile (SCP). The SCP aims to be a dynamic and flexible vehicle for documenting individual student’s personal development and growth within the broad spectrum of workplace skills. The SCP will be an invaluable tool, especially in the recruitment process, as it will allow students to inform potential employers of their achievement and growth within generic capabilities. This paper will explore a case study of how the system is being used in teaching generic capabilities such as teamwork and communication skills within library and information studies. The paper discusses the practical implications of using technology to facilitate student development of generic capabilities and how it impacts on the teaching and learning process.

<p>Source code readability is a property that influences how easily a given piece of code can be read and understood. Since source code readability can affect software quality, especially maintainability, then programmers must have good sense of writing readable code. For computer science and software engineering student, they have to start learning how to write readable code in order to compete later in the industrial. Unfortunately, computer science and software engineering curriculum promotes understanding the programming paradigms of particular language, compared to write readable code. Based on its importance, we analyzed source code of software written by Education of Informatics and Computer Engineering of Sebelas Maret University students to describe its readability. We determine readability category from source code based on two programming features, variable and function writing. Each programming features involved has its own criteria so that it can be classified in the readable or less readable category. Finally, we discuss the implications of this study on learning process of Education of Informatics and Computer Engineering study program, Sebelas Maret University. For example, our data suggest to use code reviews to teach student about source code readability.</p>

Learners have different historical reading experiences which can be analyzed from any perspectives. This study aimed to explore “the reading experiences of two successful English study program learners of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education University of Riau in Extensive Reading course based on Exploring Personal Reading Histories”. The suitable design in answering the research question of this study is a Case Study of the two successful learners in Extensive Reading course. Based on the result of the analysis of this study, it was found that reading experiences of English study program learners of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education University of Riau based on Exploring Personal Reading Histories is individual contexts (the facilities provided by parents and the involvement of teachers) reflecting on the process in becoming competent in each level. As a result, their experiences develop their interest to do activities of reading without instruction. It also indicates that this study contributes to reading theory, especially extensive reading relating with the other theories as well as pedagogy in teaching and learning Extensive Reading by implementing Exploring Personal Reading Histories at the beginning of the course. This finding contributes to theory of reading, especially extensive reading and to methodology in terms of the appropriate instruments and analysis for qualitative researches.
