A framework to examine fidelity of implementation of a hybrid instructional model for computer engineering courses

This paper describes a framework adopted to examine the fidelity level of the implemented curriculum in a computer engineering course. The framework allows education researchers to analyze how an applied hybrid instructional model impacts student learning methodically. This study helps to gain insights into how instructors' pedagogical and content knowledge has shaped the curriculum implementation. Factors that influence the intended, implemented, and learned curriculum are discussed.
