Outcomes-based Student Performance Diagnostic and Support Model

The assessment of students' knowledge by evaluating individual course learning outcomes (CLOs) will assist in providing students with targeted assistance. This will also assist in providing assistance to struggling students as early as possible in their course learning outcomes. Furthermore, such an assessment offers lecturers an opportunity to offer personalized assistance to students. This paper proposes an Outcomes-based Student Performance Diagnostic and Support (OSPDS) model aimed at achieving the abovementioned goals, amongst other things. The model is aimed at aligning CLOs with the assessment criteria (AC) as well as assessments (AS) for a given topic, determining student's performance based on set CLOs, as well as proposing teaching and learning interventions for struggling students. As a form of evaluating the proposed model, a prototype was developed based on the OSPDS model. The sample test results obtained from the prototype indicate that the OSPDS model does fulfil its set goals.
