Measuring Curriculum Alignment across Topical Coverage, Competency, and Cognitive Depth: A Longitudinal Framework Applied to CS2013 and CS2023
This paper proposes a method to measure curriculum alignment across computer science programs using a staged pipeline with semantic retrieval, large language model confirmation, and expert validation. The authors apply this method to a specific program against two different curricular guidelines and find that automatic retrieval is not reliable for measuring coverage. The study provides insights into the challenges of measuring curriculum alignment and the limitations of automatic methods.
