<p class="apa">Much attention is now given on producing quality graduates. Therefore, outcome-based education (OBE) in teaching and learning is now being implemented in Malaysia at all levels of education especially at higher education institutions. For implementing OBE, the design of curriculum and courses should be based on specified outcomes. Thus, the challenge for the assessment is that it should be capable of measuring whether intended outcomes have been achieved or not. Likely, by assisting lecturer in preparing examination paper that aligns with the specified outcomes is something that can help to ensure the implementation of OBE. Hence, this paper describes the development of a tool for generating question examination paper based on learning outcomes, called Learning Outcome-based Question Examination paper Tool (LoQET). LoQET is proposed for assisting lecturer in Universiti Putra Malaysia for preparing examination paper based on programme outcomes and learning outcomes set in the teaching plan and assessment entries.</p>

The Rasch Model

The assessment reform which has enveloped every part of the world warrants an evaluation of teaching and learning practices through washback study. This is due to the fact that washback is the phenomenon of how testing influences the teaching and learning. Malaysia has adopted Outcome Based Education policy and therefore, the efficacy of its assessment system, Outcome Based Assessment, is deemed pivotal to be evaluated. Against this backdrop, the Washback on Learning Outcome Survey (WOLOS) was developed and validated by means of qualitative (semi-structured interview) and quantitative analysis (Item Objective Congruence) and Rasch Measurement Model). Responses to 150 items by 65 participants from one public university in Malaysia were subjected to the Rasch analysis to ascertain the psychometric properties of the WOLOS.  Five criteria within reliability (person and item reliability), validity (separation index, item polarity and item fit) and precision of measurement were evaluated to ensure the usefulness of measurement in WOLOS. Some items were deleted.  Subsequently, reanalysis of the criteria provided evidence that WOLOS can be considered a psychometrically reliable instrument for the evaluation of impact of assessment practices on student learning outcomes.

Different Sources

Effective teaching depends on the ability to channel the knowledge from different sources properly to the students that enhances the total development of their mental growth as well as creative thinking. Therefore, it is essential to have a systematic mechanism to ensure the intended objectives of the lecture have reached the students. The assessment method should be in such a way that it has to mind each and every parameter that contributes to effective learning in a continuous and systematic fashion. With this focus, the purpose of this chapter is to present an efficient way of assessing the course learning outcome with the help of fuzzy logic concepts. The advantage of this approach relies on its efficacy to give more or less unique output corresponding to each and every input, which is not in the case of traditional assessment methods. This Mamdani rule-based approach gives an accurate measure to assess the attainment level of the course by considering every parameter enabling the learning process.

Common Manifestation

Workplace distress, a common manifestation in different profession has been seen in all over the world. Occupation pressure among faculty has been documented to impact job satisfaction and job performance, thereby undermining student teacher relationship leads to the future of student at risk. The purpose of this study to get satisfaction index of faculty in an outcome based education system by using fuzzy based emotional intelligence (EI). Emotional expression is essential for survival. One can give his emotional expression in language (linguistic) only. As per literature the fuzzy logic is much more capable to handle linguistic variable in uncertain environment. Therefore, to analyze the satisfaction index of faculty fuzzy logic is used. Research findings indicate that emotional literacy plays an important role in thinking, learning, exhaustion, depersonalization and a sense of low personal adjustment that can occur among individuals who work with other people in some capacity in a University. In this study, 450 faculty satisfaction data are taken and analyzed, needing further investigation more data and more comparative analysis. Fuzzy based emotional intelligence was not as distinctive as previous literature has indicated. Keywords: Emotional

Disruptive Student Behavior

Disruptive behavior is a major concern for most educational systems. Schools often respond to disruptive students with exclusionary and punitive approaches that have limited effect or value. Moreover, recent neoliberal trends with increased focus on student learning outcome change the attitudes towards disruptive student behavior and also narrow down and homogenize the range of what is considered as ?acceptable student behavior?. In this article we discuss the interrelationship between an outcome-based, neoliberal school approach and notions of disruptive behavior. We claim that the outcome-based and neoliberal approach to education basically promotes an un-educational way of thinking about education that also has a huge influence on perceptions of and tolerance towards all kinds of disruptions in schools - whether they come from students, parents, teachers or researchers.

This article aims to carry out a scoping review of the implementation of remote teaching for engineering laboratory courses in higher learning institutions during the pandemic COVID-19. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) implementation has required the graduate to attain a minimum of twelve skills and attributes upon graduating from the engineering program; it includes the psychomotor skill involved in laboratory courses. The finding shows that it has various implementations in conducting laboratory courses during the pandemic. The implementation includes recording a video, conducting an online simulation to replace the experimental work, and transforming face-to-face activity into a virtual lecture, modelling, and simulation. The approach for the laboratory that uses software also has recorded videos, using open-source software similar to the software listed in the syllabus, and some institutions allow students to access the computers lab remotely. There are no physical experimental works carried out in the laboratory during the pandemic due to non-access to the lab. Students then are expected to learn from the video to grasp the knowledge and concept. This 'scope review' also found that they have not discussed the suitable assessment in evaluating the psychomotor skill during the pandemic. Therefore, this paper recommends conducting a study to determine the implementation of a laboratory course and investigate the effectiveness of the assessment conduct during the pandemic COVID-19 to obtain the course learning outcome and evaluate its psychomotor skill.
