Abstract

This study aims at defining a remodeled adjusted value for Learning Degree value Graph (LDG) and proposing a method to recalculate the Learning Degree (LD). The Diploma Supplement (DS) is an attachment to a degree certificate that enhances transparency by clearly indicating the contents acquired. DS for a curriculum mostly is comprised of electives and cannot fairly represent student abilities. This study uses a DS creation method linked to degree-awarding policies—commonly called "Diploma Policies" (DP) in Japan. Specifically, each subject is associated with a plurality of DP items and a student's contribution rate in a subject (subject learning rate) is set based on the contents of the DP items. The DS is created by multiplying the number of acquired credits by the subject learning rate of each DP and the learning evaluation level as the learning degree of each DP item. If all students are taking the same subjects, then a fair DS can be created by this method by calculating the LD. As a result, a method for creating a DS linked to DPs that accurately represents student abilities even when the curriculum is mostly composed of electives is successfully developed. This method could be helpful as the DS here reflects a fair evaluation of student's degree regardless of the subjects studied.

Abstract

This study proposes a simplified Customer Satisfaction (CS) analysis procedure by summarizing the CS analysis method, which can be practically applied to questionnaire analysis from the perspective of Institutional Research for Teaching and Learning (IRTL). Most of the questionnaire surveys conducted in higher education institutions are mere aggregations of the percentage of responses. A course evaluation questionnaire assessment method applying CS analysis, which is often used in marketing, has already been established to solve this problem. However, this method cannot be practically implemented if IRTL organizations are not fully functional. Using this proposed method, it is possible to specifically analyze the items that need to be focused on and improved to enhance student satisfaction. Furthermore, this study also examines whether the proposed method could be applied to the analysis of questionnaires for student surveys that have been conducted in recent years. As a result, the proposed method based on the perspective of IRTL has also succeeded in summarizing the guidelines for higher education institutions to conduct survey analysis.
