Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) at the Center for Pedagogical Innovations (CPI) of MSU-IIT is a systematic and evidence-based approach to enhancing teaching, learning, and academic support services. Through regular monitoring, evaluation, and stakeholder feedback, CPI ensures that pedagogical practices, faculty development programs, and instructional innovations remain aligned with institutional goals, national standards, and international quality assurance frameworks. CQI reflects CPI’s commitment to excellence, accountability, and continuous enhancement of educational outcomes.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Cycles
The Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) process at MSU-IIT follows a structured and progressive cycle applied at both the course and program levels to ensure sustained academic excellence.
Half Cycle
The Half Cycle focuses on the initial assessment of teaching and learning outcomes. It involves the collection of performance data, student feedback, and course evaluations to identify gaps and areas for improvement. At this stage, findings are documented and analyzed, but full implementation and impact evaluation may occur in the succeeding cycle.
Full Cycle
The Full Cycle completes the CQI process by moving from assessment to action. Identified issues are addressed through targeted interventions such as content and structure, teaching methodology, or assessment refinements. The effectiveness of these actions is then evaluated using evidence-based results, closing the loop of improvement at the course level.
Continuous Cycle
The Continuous Cycle represents the sustained and systematic application of CQI across multiple course offerings and at the program level. Lessons learned from course-level CQI are consolidated to inform broader program improvements, policy enhancements, and strategic decisions. This ongoing cycle ensures that quality assurance and enhancement are embedded in the academic culture, supporting long-term program effectiveness and alignment with institutional and international standards.
CQI Forms
The Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Forms are official documentation tools used by faculty members, program coordinators, and academic units at MSU-IIT to systematically monitor, evaluate, and enhance teaching and learning processes. These forms support evidence-based quality assurance practices aligned with CPI initiatives, institutional goals, and national and international standards. provement (CQI) Forms are official documentation tools used by faculty members, program coordinators, and academic units at MSU-IIT to systematically monitor, evaluate, and enhance teaching and learning processes. These forms support evidence-based quality assurance practices aligned with CPI initiatives, institutional goals, and national and international standards.
Two types of CQI forms:
CQI Report Form – This form is used at the course level to document assessment results, student feedback, identified issues, and corresponding improvement actions implemented within a Half or Full CQI cycle. It serves as the primary mechanism for closing the loop on course-level improvements.
CQI Consolidated Report Form – This form is used at the program or unit level to synthesize results from multiple CQI Reports. It captures recurring issues, best practices, and impact of interventions to inform broader program improvements, policy enhancements, and strategic academic decisions as part of the Continuous CQI cycle.
Together, these forms ensure that quality improvement efforts are systematic, documented, and continuously aligned with MSU-IIT’s commitment to academic excellence and accountability.
