RELATIONSHIP AMONG STUDENTS'LEARNING STYLE, ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES AND STUDENTS'PERFORMANCES

Abstract

Learning Outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably be demonstrated at the end of a course or a program. In other words, learning outcomes identify what a learner will know and will be able to do by the end of a course or a program. Assessment is a systematic process of looking at student achievements within and across courses by gathering, interpreting and using information about student learning for educational improvement Curriculum is a planned educational experience in a given discipline implemented within a specified time period to foster the desired academic & professional development of learners in that discipline. Our main objective is to train quality specialists capable to meet the national/international requirements. This paper extensively discusses the importance of assessment, learning outcomes, students‟ learning styles and the relationship between Students‟ Learning Style and the assessment of Student Learning Outcomes. The survey outcomes depict that the identification of Students‟ Learning Style is very important during early stage of a module as it is greatly helpful to prepare assessments and teaching methods which can be used in delivering the module. Students with different learning styles perform differently during assessments in practical and theoretical classes. Most of the lecturers do their best to finish the module according to the given time period. But the important thing is how students achieve the learning outcomes of the particular module. By considering these aspects, it is clear that there is a close relationship among Students‟ Learning Style, Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes and Students‟ Performances.
