Taking a Systemic View of the Role of Student Selection Processes in Undergraduate Curriculum Development and Assessment

摘要

Using a systems thinking approach, this paper uses The Three Question Improvement Model to provide a conceptual overview of the role that undergraduate business program student selection processes play in curriculum development and assessment of learning outcomes. At a macro-level, the university's admission processes influence decisions related to a separate program specific admission process. At a micro-level, the interactions between student selections processes and program components influence the efficiency and effectiveness of the program. The Three Question Model for Improvement is used to evaluate the appropriateness of five categories of student selection processes.
