A Study for Quality Assurance of Graduate Education using Student Data : Through constructing the Integrated Database of Education and Student Learning
Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) had accepted governmental funding project “Quality Assurance for Graduate Education with International Coherence” from 2010 to 2014. We have constructed the integrated database of education and student learning for analysis of graduate education. At the viewpoint of enrollment management, this database covers huge data of education and student learning for the analysis of curriculum development and student engagement. Although some examples of such database on undergraduate education have already been conducted, our challenge will become a leading case on graduate education. As JAIST has an advanced and systematic educational system focusing on coursework, this database will become useful to improve curriculum development and student engagement. This paper describes the approach and process to construct the database, and suggests the rough results and perspectives concerning data analysis
