- Abstract
This study examines the priorities from the perspective of students, who are important stakeholders, regarding the courses in the curriculum with a different perspective on the process of curriculum development and evaluation. The study addresses not the effectiveness of the curriculum, but the needs of the students after graduation. To that end, the study seeks to determine the learning priorities of students based on their career preferences. By considering different career preferences of the students in the department of CEIT, the study employs the method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to reveal the career preferences of students and their priorities in the courses in the curriculum based on these career preferences. For this purpose, senior-level students studying in the department of CEIT participated in the study through the method of AHP. Further, the professions in different careers were grouped and these career preferences were categorized as teaching, system design and academic profession. In conclusion, the course of "School Experience-Teaching Practice" was ranked first while the course of "Scientific Research Methods" ranked last in the learning priorities based on the profession of teaching. It is remarkable that the learning priorities varied according to the career preferences of the students.
