Applying Instructional design for the FE/SW courseFE Course development p1-15, SW Course development p2-8

Following 7 process are applied for building up Instructional design.

Analysis Design Development phase Implementation phase Evaluation phase Feedback Tests

13


Applying Instructional design for the FE/SW courseFE Course development p1-15, SW Course development p2-8

Analysis The objective of the FE/SW course is to pass the FE/SW exam. The creation of a question bank representing the different areas of knowledge could be considered.

Design You need to examine what are the pre-requisites for the module youare developing. Example if the module contains the topic on subneting A pre-requisite would be the ability to perform hexadecimal and binary conversion and arithmetic

The learning objectives based on the knowledge areas to be covered is specified clearly. Decide on the flow of activities in the module Decide the tests to perform to evaluate understanding. Structure and sequence the program outline

14


Applying Instructional design for the FE/SW courseFE Course development p1-15,18 SW Course development p2-8,11

Development phase The lesson plan is created and the types of learning activities and exercises are described. Aside from the actual instruction, a quiz can be added to test the application of the knowledge. A review of the key concepts would also be helpful.

Implementation phase A 2 way approach should be used. This means the learners should be allow to work on the problem amongst themselves and present their solutions. Sampling of the understanding during instruction can be done by asking questions to the class and selecting individuals to answer. Be careful not to pick only selected individuals. A short quiz can be done using representative morning questions for that topic. It is good to round up the topic by providing a summary of the key points.

15

Evaluation phase The evaluation is done using 1) feedback forms 2) Tests

Feedback The following areas is included in the feedback. 1)Length of course 2)Coverage 3)Depth of topics 4)Balance of time allocated for lecture and practice 5)Quality of presentation 6)Quality of Materials 7)Training environment 8)Level of understanding of the sub topics

7.Use of the Mock Exam

　 The use of the past exam questions allows us to determine the competency of the students.

　 It allows us to simulate the exam conditions for the 　examinee.

　 It allows the examinee to discover their areas of strength and weakness.

　 The questions in the past exams also allow the instructor discover patterns in the question setting and similar questions can be created to test the students.

7.1 Steps in the Use of the Mock Exam


23


7.1 Steps in the Use of the Mock Exam

（１） Create the answer sheet　　 Excel can be used to create the answer sheets. 　　 The morning questions can be automatically mark by 　　 making use of VBA programming.

　　 Example of the answer sheet for morning questions


24


Example of the answer sheet for afternoon questions


25


2) Conduct the exam

Distribute the exam papers and answer sheets to the examinees and conduct the Exam. The morning exam is 150 minutes. The PM1 exam is 120 minutes The PM2 exam is 60 minutes.

３） Marking of questions　 Assess the result of the exam.


26


４） Analysis of results

　　 The results canbe analyzed by using the knowledge areas.

7.2 Automated Marking of the Morning Exam

　 You can prepare a worksheet to count the correct entry for that question.

　 This worksheet is used to enter the formula to mark the submitted answer sheets.

　 The COUNTIF function in Excel can be used to determine if the correct option has been selected.

Example

The answer Excel file is Book1.xls and Sheet1 and the cell for entering the answer is given A4 with the correct answer as a.

The following can be used to mark the question.

=COUNTIF([Book1]Sheet1!$A$4,"=a")


29


We can arrange the marking cells in a column and finally use the SUM to add the results


30


COUNTIF function

The COUNTIF function is used to count a value of 1 if the Cell value in the first parameter matches the condition in the second parameter.

COUNTIF( cell location, condition)

SUM function

The SUM function is used to add the values in a continuous range of cells.

SUM(starting cell:ending cell)


31


7.3 Showing the Results as a Graph

You can use the graph feature in Excel to create graphs to compare the results.

The following shows how to use the graph feature in Excel.

Arrange the values for the knowledge areas against the result.

Select the area as shown. Then click on the graph icon in Excel.


32


SW Course development p7-7 – p7-11 describe how to show Graphs

7.3 Showing the Results as a Graph

The chart wizard will start up. You can preview the graph by clicking on the Press and Hold to see Sample button
