Learning outcomes:
• Learning Outcomes (Los) describe what learners are supposed
to know, understand, or are able to do at the end of the
Program or course.

Why we need LOs?
• To inform students of what is expected from
them
.
• To guide the teacher in his approach on the
delivery of content and assessment that
focuses on what the student will be able to do
as a result of the learning.
• To fulfill the requirements of one or more
Program outcomes.
What is KPI?
• A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that
demonstrates how effectively an instructor achieves learning
Outcomes. The program evaluator uses KPIs to evaluate their
success in reaching Goals and Objectives.

KPI
What is KPI?
• To analyze the assessment of students achievement for LO, we
use a KPI, a rubric or exam scores to measure and assess
student’s performance.
KEY:
Performance:
Indicator:
Rubrics:
• "Rubrics" are a way of explicitly stating the expectations for
student performance. They may lead to a grade or be part of
the grading process but they are more specific, detailed, and
disaggregated than a grade.
Types of Rubrics
Holistic: Raters make judgments by
forming an overall impression of a
performance
Analytic : scales tend to focus on
important dimensions of student
performance related to performance
criteria.
Why we need to use a Rubric?
• To have specific, detailed, and disaggregated than
a grade.
• Rubrics provide the characteristics for each level
of performance on which student performance
should be judged
• The rubric provides those who have been
assessed with clear information about how well
they performed and a clear indication of what
they need to accomplish in the future to better
their performance.

Strategies for solving problems
Has no coherent strategies for problem solving
Has some strategies for problem-solving, but does not apply them consistently
Formulates strategies for solving problems
The answer is incorrect and not checked for its reasonableness
Correction of the answer
Solutions: Other Ways
The answer is nearly correct, but properly labeled (within reasonable and logical range of the correct answer-it's
in the "ballpark")
The answer is correct and properly labeled
No attempt at checking the obviously incorrect solution--no commentary
The solution is correct, but not checked in other ways
The solution is correct and checked in other ways when it can be; the interpretation is appropriate and makes
sense
