    Abstract

    In recent years, control charts are increasingly adopted in educational field as a statistical control approach in monitoring students’ academic performance due to simplicity and reliability. This paper presents and s charts as useful statistical tools to monitor students’ academic performance based upon the assessment practices. The points fall beyond the upper control limits signify extraordinary performance by students whereas the points falling below lower control limit signal the poor performance by students where both scenarios are regarded as out-of-control. The purpose of this paper is to identify which students’ performance appeared to be out of control so that appropriate measure can be provided to students for quality improvement in learning outcomes. This study enables academicians to set up a feasible benchmark limit in attaining the state of statistical control and identify when there is significant change on students’ academic performance. Thus, academicians are able to provide suitable teaching approaches as well as strategies and adapt it to the identified learning preference and characteristics of students to enhance the educational process.
