IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN COMPUTER SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE COURSE THROUGH A SELF-LEARNING PLATFORM
Keywords:
Computer System Architecture, Course Outline Review ReportAbstract
Computer System Architecture (DFC10223) course is a common core course for first-
semester students of Diploma in Information Technology (Digital Technology) program offered at
Politeknik Malaysia. It is a continuation of core knowledge in computer systems and technology
that is essential in the field of Information Technology. However, there has been a decrease in
student achievement in Session II: 2021/2022 compared to Session I: 2021/2022, according to
the Course Outline Review Report (CORR). Out of 82 students who took the course, 26 failed
the Final Examination in Session II: 2021/2022. Additionally, the results of student achievement
in PLO for Session II 2021/2022 also showed a decrease (PLO001 = 65%, PL0004 = 77%)
compared to Session I 2021/2022 (PLO001 = 75%, PL0004 = 84%). To address this issue, the
course lecturer developed a self-learning platform called i-Learn CSA using the ADDIE Model
concept to help students improve their understanding and interest learning this course. i-Learn
CSA is a one-stop information center based on a web-based application using the Google Site
platform. A survey was conducted on 69 students to assess their perception of i-Learn CSA, with
the results showing an overall mean of x̄= 4.36. This indicates that over 90% of students agreed
that i-Learn CSA helped improve their understanding of the CSA course.
