Use of Stewart Control Chart Technique in Monitoring Student Performance

Students' academic performance was assessed using quality control techniques. Results show that performance of students was out of control using mean chart (X ̅-Chart) with Central Limit (CL) = 2.35, Upper Control Limit (UCL) = 3.20 (although grade points above this limit may not necessarily be...

Description
Summary:Students' academic performance was assessed using quality control techniques. Results show that performance of students was out of control using mean chart (X ̅-Chart) with Central Limit (CL) = 2.35, Upper Control Limit (UCL) = 3.20 (although grade points above this limit may not necessarily be regarded as out-of-control-points for academic performance) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) = 1.51. Similarly, students' performance was also found not to be in control using Standard Deviation (S-Chart) with Central Limit (CL) = 0.71, Upper Control Limit = 1.34, Lower Control Limit = 0.001 approximately.The chart shows point falling below lower control limit (1.51); that is, students with poor performance. This can be adopted as a bench mark for assessing whether or not students should proceed to the next academic level, some sort of 'Academic Good-Standing'. Above the upper control limit are exceptional/ good results. The average performance of students is 2.35 which corresponds to third class grade; this implies that on average, students graduate with third class.
