Abstract

Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and Malaysian Qualifications Agency have come out with integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) in order to assess students’ academic performance. This assessment method assesses students based on three domains: cognitive; affective; and psychomotor domain. Assessing cognitive domain is straightforward because it uses the widely used Cumulative Grade Point Average. The affective domain assessment criteria are well documented in the iCGPA guidelines. Assessing the psychomotor domain for students undergoing computing programs is complicated, considering computing programs does not have much tasks using the psychomotor domain. This paper discusses the iCGPA and computing standards that higher education institution need to conform with in order to produce graduates in the field of computing. The concepts of psychomotor in computing courses are identified and examined in detail. A generic psychomotor domain assessment rubric suitable for computing courses was devised and presented in this paper.
