Undertaking the mapping

The task of mapping and feeding information into the database, as well as setting up the information in an accessible and readable manner was undertaken by the project officer who reported back with the mapping object in each developmental stage. The actual mapping object was constructed by:

• Identifying objectives in course statements and assessment tasks for each of the 21 courses in this IT degree program and mapping this data to numerical identifiers

• Organizing the numerical identifiers as variables in a format that could allocate terms from both the Bloom's taxonomy sub-domains and from the stated course objectives

• Entering all variables into a spreadsheet so that results could be graphed

Bloom's domains were given numbered identifiers, as were relationships to assessments. Identifiers were also given where graduate qualities were obvious in course objectives and assessment tasks.

The assessment tasks were examined by the project officer to ascertain what assumptions seemed to be applied to students in terms of expectations of their intrinsic ability to undertake a task. These assumptions were then put into the database as part of the mapping object (see Table 1).
