1. Continual Quality Improvement (CQI)
“Simply put, it is the concept that there is always
room for improvement. Within a company, it is the
commitment to constantly improve operations,
processes and activities in order to meet customer
requirements in an efficient, consistent and cost
effective manner”
Industry Canada website at www.ic.gc.ca
How do we apply CQI within our learning environment?

3. Principles of CQI
1.Focus on improving work processes and serving the external
customer.
2. Maximize "value-added work" and strive to eliminate "waste".
3. Base decisions upon data using simple graphing tools
(flowcharts, Pareto charts, etc.).
4. Improve work processes by consulting workers - "the job
experts".
5. Fix the process; don't place blame.
6. Be accountable at all levels - recognition for doing well or
counseled if needed.
7. Practice teamwork.
5. Importance of CQI
CQI provides suitable actions in improving the quality of CLOs, PLOs, and PAIs
according to targeted KPI.
Provide critical information to the institutions and administrators on the
effectiveness of the design, delivery, assessment and direction of an
educational programmes.
Improvement based on feedback from the assessment will close the system
loops and the process will continue year after year.
Attainment of all outcomes (PAI, PLO and CLO) must be measured and utilised
as a gauge for its effectiveness.
Following the checking stage, the results are analyzed. Any shortcomings on the
level of attainment for the outcomes can be addressed and further
improvements can be revised in the ‘re-Planning’ stage.
The P-D-C-A (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle then continues until a sufficient level of
attainment is met for all outcomes. The overall P-D-C-A activities can be
summarized in the context of the CLO and PLO attainment,.

17. MEASUREMENTS OF OUTCOMES
ATTAINMENT AND ACTION FOR CQI
Industrial Training Survey
1.A survey is carried out on the employer to gauge the students’
performance. The survey looks into how the employers rate the
students in terms of the fulfilment of attributes that are related to
the PLO
2.From these results, attributes in which the students are lacking
can be identified and the corrective measures can be devise.
3.This information is then used to improve the teaching methods
and curriculum content in the next semester
18. Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP)
Industrial collaboration between the HLP and industry is vital. The
collaborative work that comes in the form of curriculum review,
technical visits, industrial training placement, final year student
projects and invited lectures from industries, an Industrial
Advisory Panel (IAP) has been formed which meets once per
semester to discuss on various issues regarding the programmes.
The IAP consists of members representing various industries,
research institutes and universities. Inputs from the IAP members
are discussed and implemented at the College/Department level
to ensure that the quality of the programme is constantly
improved.
19. Latar Belakang Kajian
Alumni Panel
The Alumni Panel can directly pinpoint the shortcomings in the programme
content and advise the department on the current needs of the industry at the
same time. The IAP also serves the same role, but from an outsider point of
view. The inputs from both the Alumni Panel and the IAP are the keys in
ensuring that the content of the programme is up to date and conform to the
job market’s needs.
20. Student Self-Survey
At various stages throughout the semester, the students are requested to
carry out a self-survey on the level of their understanding of the CLO.
Results from such surveys can be used to gauge the lecturer’s teaching
effectiveness on a particular course.
In addition, at the end of each course, the students are also asked to rate
the lecturers in terms of overall teaching effectiveness such as
communication skills, confidence level and appearance.
These results form a CQI basis for the delivery skills of the lecturers and
also the course syllabus.
22. CADANGAN
Item utk peperiksaan (CA & FE) perlu diperincikan mengikut CLO, disimpan
dan dianalisis untuk:
– melihat pencapaian CLO dan PLO.
– dianalisis bagi mengenalpasti aras kesukaran item dan mengkaji item
yang bermasalah.
Pensyarah perlu diberi input bagaimana menggunakan instrumen-instrumen
dalam kurikulum untuk mencerap hasil pembelajaran
Pensyarah perlu memberi maklumbalas terhadap elemen-elemen yang tidak
bertepatan dengan kursus masing-masing untuk penambahbaikan (CQI)
kepada kurikulum, instruksional dan pentaksiran
Pensyarah/Jabatan perlu membangunkan instumen yang fleksibel dan
bersesuian dengan kursus masing-masing.
Lembaran markah ISO tidak lagi relevan dan tidak dapat digunakan untuk
mengukur pencapian CLO dan PLO. Lembaran markah ISO perlu diubah
mengikut kehendak pentaksiran berasaskan OBE.
Pensyarah mesti menghantar laporan analisis CLO dan PLO setiap semester
kepada Ketua Program
