Relevance of the Curricula from the Perception of the Graduates of the Education Degree, Specialization: Mathematics and Physics of the Technological Institute of the Eastern Cibao (ITECO) 2005-2006

Abstract

ITECO lacked insight into the relevance of its Mathematics and Physics Education program as perceived by its own graduates, information essential for identifying strengths and weaknesses to guide institutional decisions. This descriptive-exploratory study surveyed forty-four (44) graduates using a questionnaire piloted on three respondents, with results analyzed via frequency and percentage tables. Graduates rated the contribution of general education and specialized courses as acceptable to good, and academic preparation for professional performance as good to very good. The university is advised to strengthen course content, implement strategies to improve graduates' job performance, increase oversight of internships, and improve outreach to attract more students to the program.
