Abstract :
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.
