 Abstract:

This research study presents a comparative study between the quarter and the semester systems in the technical institutes, in terms of scheduling, training, and utilizing the training resources such as classrooms/halls capacity and employing the instructors. The size of the study sample was represented by the total number of students in classrooms/halls for the study courses in the quarter system by 8836 students distributed over 363 sections. While in the semester system 10360 students distributed over 358 sections. Thus, a comparison was made based on one training year between the two training systems for basic skills courses. The samples were used to know the effect of class capacity and teaching loads on the training system by making initial comparisons, and statistical tools were used where averages of class capacity and teaching loads were calculated to know the status and trends of the data using the plot box. In addition to descriptive statistics (Two samples F-test for variance) and finally, (t-test: Two samples assuming unequal variance) were selected. The p-value less than 0.05 of single-tailed confirmed that classroom capacity and instructors’ load were higher in the semester system compared to the quarter system.
