Abstract |
| This research aims at exploring the empirical relationship of students’ academic performance with the curricula design, program/course intended learning outcomes, delivery mode, teaching & learning activities and assessment strategies under the “Outcomes Based Teaching and Learning” (OBTL) methodology, for various undergraduate programs related to architectural studies, building services engineering, construction engineering, building surveying, estate surveying and quantity surveying of a Hong Kong university. Quantitative data (in terms of students’ Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) reflecting their performance in examination, coursework, projects and various assessments) are analysed to compare the respective students’ academic performance in each program/cohort, and investigate how their performances would be affected by the above OBTL methodology and the variances among each program/cohort. Reliability test, students’ t test, ANOVA and MANOVA statistical techniques will be adopted. From the research, it is expected to help improve overall teaching and learning quality, primarily with a carefully designed curriculum at the outset, including that of intended learning outcomes, pre-defined teaching & learning activities and solid assessment strategies, for enhancing any students of the construction-related undergraduate programs.
