摘要：In the Malaysian tertiary education system, adopting an outcome-based approach has emphasised the importance of learning outcomes where setting and determining what can be accomplished at the end of a learning programme is essential to the students’ and programme’s success. For a new Diploma in English for Professional Communication programme in UiTM, complying with MQF programme standards is vital for obtaining and maintaining accreditation. Institutions also need to report the students’ perception of whether programme and course designs have managed to achieve the intended learning outcomes. This study investigated the perception of students on which of the attributes or sub-attributes of MQF’s learning outcomes for this final-semester project-based course they believe they have achieved. An online survey was conducted with 63 final semester students of LG120 Diploma in English for Professional Communication from Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Melaka and Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Johor. The findings revealed that students believed the course design had highly impacted their skills in ‘making adjustments to process and practices’, ‘planning and organisational skills’, and ‘identifying self-improvement opportunities for further education’. The students also highly regarded the attributes in the course learning outcomes and other MQF attributes/sub-attributes descriptors. This study has shown that students’ perception is invaluable when evaluating and determining learning outcomes and strengthens the view that students’ beliefs must be considered when writing or designing a learning programme, courses, and learning outcomes.
