Abstract In recent years, the social demand for improving the quality of higher education has increased. Therefore, it is important for professional education in the medical profession to utilize a multilateral educational assessment of learning outcomes as a means to improve educational practice.
In this study, in order to visualize learning outcomes, we performed generic educational institutional research with a common questionnaire for general use among multiple universities in the first year of education at our college (n=99), in order to compare the results of the representative educational institutional research (representative IR data).
In terms of the general learning situation, our college showed a higher percentage of affirmative answers to the question regarding “practice of professional training” (p<0.05), but a lower percentage of affirmative answers regarding “learning to check articles and references”, “presentation on our thoughts and research” and “discussion among students” (p<0.05, respectively).
In relation to the quality assurance of education, our college showed a higher percentage of affirmative answers regarding “adequacy of college life”, “overall quality of teaching” and “positive learning attitude” (p<0.05, respectively).
It may be useful to examine the results of the generic educational institutional research to promote understanding of education issues and visualization of multiple learning outcomes, thus leading to quality assurance of first-year education.
