eva‎luation of the curriculum of the undergraduate course in electrical engineering of Isfahan University according to the practice-based curriculum

علوم تربيتي

The present study aimed to identify the indicators of an action-based curriculum in the undergraduate electrical engineering program an‎d to eva‎luate the curriculum of this program at Isfahan University based on these indicators. The research method is applied in terms of its purpose, descriptive in terms of the need for a hypothesis, an‎d eva‎luative using a mixed-methods approach (both quantitative an‎d qualitative). In the qualitative part, the potential participants included all faculty members of the electrical engineering department at Isfahan University. Through purposive sampling, faculty members who were familiar with the curriculum an‎d interested in participating in the study were selec‎ted. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 7 faculty members until saturation was reached. In the quantitative part, the statistical population included all undergraduate electrical engineering students at Isfahan University. Using convenience ran‎dom sampling, the opinions of 67 students regarding the experienced curriculum were collected. For data analysis, the qualitative section employed an interpretive approach, an‎d the quantitative section used descriptive statistical methods. To ensure validity an‎d reliability, face validity an‎d Cronbachʹs alpha were utilized. The studyʹs results identified 11 indicators for curriculum goals, 12 indicators for content features, 13 indicators for teaching methods, an‎d 11 indicators for assessment in an action-based curriculum. According to the students, all elements of the curriculum, including goals, content, teaching methods, an‎d assessment, were at an unsatisfactory level. Overall, the electrical engineering curriculum requires improvement to better align with the needs of the job market. This research can serve as a guide for curriculum planners in selec‎ting objectives an‎d designing course syllabi, an‎d for instructors in choosing content, teaching methods, an‎d assessment strategies.
