Monitoring Student Success Rate at the Undergraduate Study of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Zagreb University
The new reform of the educational and teaching procedure at the Faculty of Civil Engineering was started when the first generation of students was enrolled in the first year o undergraduate study of civil engineering in the school year 2005/06. From the very beginning there have been occasional comments, criticism and suggestions by the students, associates and teaching staff. Since it is a complex and delicate pedagogical and didactical process, objective evaluation requires systematic monitoring and analysis of the teaching procedure from the very beginning of the undergraduate study implementation. For this purpose a system of monitoring student success rate, relevant to the needs of our faculty, has been established. The views of all the participants in the teaching procedure (students and teaching staff) stated in questionnaires must be taken into account for thorough analysis of the student success rate. For this purpose the Quality Control Committee was set up immediately after the teaching procedure according to the Bologna Declaration had been introduced at our faculty. The important element of student success rate is the rate of enrolment into higher years of study. The Faculty Council accepted the manner of data collection and execution of the analysis. Students are divided into categories according the ECTS credits they have collected. Those groups have been monitored in relation to enrolment period, enrolment ranking list, high school graduated from, residence, study status and the examination pass rate. Additionally, at the end of each semester, the student success in particular courses is monitored through collecting data on signature collection, partial exam taking through pre-exams, homework and seminar papers. Although the statistical sample is not big, a systematic analysis, which will be further elaborated in the paper, has resulted in bringing decisions which have contributed to the improvement of the organisation of the teaching procedure and motivated the teaching staff, associates and students.
