Abstract
This project is a continuing project from one of the TDLEG (2016-19) project entitled ‘Meta-analysis of the UG programme review reports - Identifying the good practices and innovative pedagogies’. Both projects share the same objectives, which are, to identify good practices in teaching and learning and programme management identified from the programme reviews and to disseminate these practices. From the meta-analysis of the second cycle of programme review, ten programmes were identified using a set of criteria for selecting showcase programmes. The programme directors were interviewed to get more details and examples. Their good practices were presented through micro-modules on Assessment, Learning activity, Learning outcome, Programme design and Programme management.
The third cycle of undergraduate programme review has just been completed. CLEAR has started the meta-analysis of the review reports. We would like to request for some resources to disseminate good practices identified from the meta-analysis via production of micro-modules on the project website, conducting workshops and Professional Development Course (PDC) for new teachers.
In addition, an analysis on the improvement from the second cycle to third cycle programme review will be conducted.
Brief write-up
Project objectives
This project is designed to identify good practices in teaching and learning and programme management identified from the third undergraduate programme review and to disseminate these practices. In addition, the project is to conduct a comparative analysis on the programme performance between the second cycle and the third cycle programme review.
Activities, process and outcomes
This project mainly consists of two parts.
For the first part, ten exemplary undergraduate programmes were identified from the third cycle programme review. These programmes were interviewed and requested to provide examples of good practices. Video clips were produced to showcase good practices. These video clips would be uploaded to the webpage on good practices – UG Good Practices website (
https://www.cuhk.edu.hk/clear/ugprogreview) for dissemination purposes.
For the second part, a comparative analysis on the 131 programme review reports was conducted to find out the difference of programme performance between the 2nd and the 3rd cycle programme review. A final report, appended with a set of excel reports, documented the detailed analysis results in university-level, faculty-level and programme-level.
Deliverables and evaluation
1. Fifty-one good practices showcase videos were produced.
2. An upgraded website of Good Practices from the UG Programme Review.
3. A set of analysis reports of the comparative analysis on the second cycle and the third cycle review reports.
Dissemination, diffusion, impact and sharing of good practices
The project deliverables would be shared at:
University level meetings
Faculty-based sessions on meta-analysis
Professional Development Course for new teachers
Workshops on preparation for programme review
Impact on teaching and learning
The project is for enhancement of the quality assurance mechanism of CUHK. The project deliverables will provide a useful reference for programmes and the University when devising and implementing future strategies for enhancement of and sustaining strengths in teaching and programme management.
