Within the field of CBE, experts have differing views as to what elements are most critical to a high-quality CBE program. The purpose of this Q methodology study is to determine what models of CBE programs emerge from an investigation of what experts perceive to be the most essential and least essential components of a high-quality program. In this study, 33 experts in the field of CBE sorted 72 statements about multiple aspects of CBE programs. Data collection included the Q sorts, a demographic institutional survey, follow-up questions and brief biographies of participants. From this research, two primary factors were revealed, one with emphasizes the curricular elements of competencies and assessments as primary, the second of which emphasizes fiscal sustainability and business processes along with competencies. Nine of the study participants demonstrated mixed results, sharing aspects of each factor in their results. This study provides a basis for further research into specifically what components should be universal across CBE programs, and which are dependent upon institutional preference or program design. 2017-05-05 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1491776906336325 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1491776906336325 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
