| Abstract |
The Student Performance Criteria (SPC) influences directly to the content of school's curriculum for professional architectural programs, and also serves as evaluating tool of student works The SPC must maintain a careful balance between the role as a criteria for concrete evaluation of various student performances and also it must allow qualitative and liberal evaluation for school's creative effort According to the SPC survey result by the site visit team members of the KAAB, the current SPC seemed ambiguous as a criteria for evaluation and as a guideline for curricular contents The study found that the ambiguity in SPC stems from being simply too , inclusion of too much contents, and written in confusion with variety of knowledge fields The study also identified areas of needed improvements and new approaches for amendment Also the survey revealed that current educational needs and actual circumstances at schools ought to be considered for revising SPC The study concludes that the SPC must set its fundamental goal much clearer at promoting performance-based comprehensive knowledge with problem solving skills, rather than identifying and listing of knowledge components, and it is crucial for all of us to agree on its goal |
