1. Introduction
The Ministry of Education of Ethiopia has announced the implementation of exit exam for all
undergraduate program students (public and private), beginning with the 2022/2023 academic
year, in order to improve the quality of graduates produced by higher learning institutions. The
exit exam aimed at checking whether students have acquired the required knowledge, skills and
attitudes or not. To implement this, it requires determining competency area for specific program,
which is already com pl et ed based on the competency areas prepared, it needs to plan the
construction of tests blue print guideline. The major points considered in the process of preparing
this test blue print guideline were the core competencies that have been already identified for the
themes of courses, the course contents, course credit hours, and the learning outcomes with their
corresponding levels of achievement by learning domains.

In the course of the test blue print preparation, it is vital to note that architectural design, as the
main thematic area of the program, is a project based exercise execution. Since the protagonist of
architectural design is formation of habitable space [non material] for human use, the methodology
of its study requires a three-dimensional imagination and visual illustrations [in the form of
physical model or graphic computation] as primary media.

Hence, the test specification preparation for architectural design thematic area should be set in
response to the subject's requirements of projective thinking to process, analyze, synthesize and
produce using graphical communication to forward a suitable design solution to the questions
[presented challenges]. The skill set required to graphically communicate and then logically argue
[defend] their intended ideas as well as the translation of abstract idea into graphically projected
output require high level of affective and psychomotor learning domains.

In addition to the graphical presentations, the projective product formation also requires prior
knowledge and skill of architectural design making. These cognitive learning domains of
architectural design formation regarding design analysis, design methodology, standards, notations,
symbols and presentation techniques could be incorporated either with the proposed design
questions [with high assessment weight] or as a separate question format similar to the other
thematic areas.

Therefore, the assessment weight proportion for architectural design challenge [question] shall
adopt the curriculum's assessment recommendations.

2. Objective of test blueprint

Test blueprint preparation is generally opted to assist the preparation of a test that is representative,
broadly sampled, and consisting of complete knowledge domain expected of the Ethiopian higher
education students on completion of their study program. The specific objectives of test blueprint are
to:
• Facilitate the construction of a representative and balanced test items for the
selected courses in accordance with the competencies identified.
• Guide test developers or writers to write or set appropriate test items.

Generally, test blueprint will help to ensure tests: 1) Appropriately assess the achievement of
instructional objectives of the course; 2) Appropriately reflect key course goals, objectives and the
material learned or covered during the instruction period; and 3) Include the appropriate item formats
along with the knowledge and skills being assessed.

3. Expected profile of the Graduates

Architectural education shall prepare students to be competent, creative, critically minded, ethical
professionals, intellectually mature, ecologically sensitive and socially responsible professionals.
Architectural education in its very nature has been international and its practice is contextual as well as
cross-cultural profession, its program accreditation, as described in the curriculum, the graduate profile
has adopted internationally recognized UIA-UNIESCO charter's description of professional profile.
Fundamental Knowledge & Abilities of the Profession are:
• An ability to create architectural designs that satisfy both aesthetic and technical requirements
• An adequate knowledge of the history and theories of architecture and the related arts,
technologies and human sciences,
• Having Knowledge of the fine arts as an influence on the quality of architectural design,
• An adequate knowledge of urban design, planning and the skills involved in the planning process,
• An understanding of the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and
their environment, and of the need to relate buildings with the spaces between them based on
human needs and scale.

Page 4 of 22
• An understanding of the profession of architecture and the role of the architect in society in
particular in preparing briefs that take account of social factors.
• An understanding of the methods of investigation and preparation of the brief for a design project
• An understanding of the structural design, constructional and engineering problems associated with
building design,
• An adequate knowledge of physical problems and technologies and of the function of buildings so
as to provide them with internal conditions of comfort and protection against the climate,
• The design skills necessary to meet building users’ requirements within the constraints imposed
by cost factors and building regulations,
• An adequate knowledge of the industries, organizations, regulations and procedures involved in
translating design concepts into buildings and integrating plans into overall planning.
Accordingly, basic skills of an architect is classified as scientific, technical & artistic as follows:
A. Scientific Skills:
• Analytical skills
• Organizational and management skills Scientific design skills
B. Technical Skills
• Practical skills
• Know-how on building materials and their construction
• Digital skills Documentation skills technical design skills
C. Artistic Skills
• Techniques for creativity
• Presentation skills
• Artistic design knowledge
D. Behavioral skill and attitudes of an architect
• Critical thinking
• Problem-solving orientated Flexibility and self-directed learning Attention to detail
• Commitment to excellence and ethics

Page 5 of 22
4. General objective of the program
Architecture is an interdisciplinary field comprising humanities, social science, physical science,
technology and the creative art dimensions. Architecture is manifested in the ability to
conceptualize, coordinate and execute an idea in a careful and creative mediation between reason,
emotion and intuition. The basic goal of architectural education is to develop the architect as a
“generalist” able to design a habitable built environment often involving potential contradictions
between different requirements in response to the society‘s need and individual‘s environmental
needs.

In the increasingly globalizing world, architects should also be trained to not only understand,
protect and highlight architectural heritage in their context but also expected to adapt cultural and
territorial contexts in which they may be called upon to work.

5. Specific objectives of the program

The specific objective of architectural education is


• To produce competent, creative, critical minded and ethical professional built environment
designers/ builders
• To produce professionals who are intellectually mature, ecologically sensitive and socially
responsible.
• Providing a solid foundation in the understanding of the reality of economic, cultural and
environmental issues in building design
• Training competences to work in team and communicate ideas in the media of language, text,
drawing, statistics and models.
• Enabling students to play their role as generalists and coordinator of interdisciplinary programs.
• Implementing efficient tools for permanent quality control, winning back the generalist attitude of
the architect’s profession by strengthening competences in the technical field of material and
construction as well as in the process of implementation
• Defining closer links between practice and theory as a continuous exchange of needs and ideas
between the academic and the professional spheres.

11.Conclusion

Exit examination can have a vital role in ensuring the quality of graduates. It also helps in
improving academic program quality and effectiveness. Furthermore, it can create the
platform for cooperation among academic programs in different universities to work jointly
to improve the programs quality.

Based on identified graduate profile, competencies and learning outcomes Fifteen [15]
courses were selected to evaluate the competency of architecture program graduates. This exit
exam test specification is prepared to assist the preparation of tests that is representative,
broadly sampled and consisting of all learning domains expected in completion of
Architecture program in Ethiopian higher education.

For successful competency evaluation of the students’ achievement, the exam question should
target the specifics of their learning outcomes. Hence, Architectural design thematic areas is
subjective in its nature mainly due to the affective domain's reasoning and intensions applied
to construct the psychomotor domains. Exit exam contents of such subjectivity nature require
formulation of questions should not be multiple choice, but rather in the form of short answers,
essay, cases, responding to presented design challenges [probably in the form of quick
design]. The assessment method of such subjective nature of the courses makes it difficult to
evaluate using only objective criteria's of cognitive domain. Therefore, it is highly
recommended to use a group of jury member’s /committee/ comprising three teachers with
architectural design background as evaluators. The score point will be the average between
the three evaluators. The evaluation shall also be executed independently and anonymously
while assigning evaluators in order to avoid unwanted partiality
