Assessment

Assessment is an on-going process aimed at understanding and improving student learning. It involves making our expectations explicit and public; setting appropriate criteria and high standards for learning quality; systematically gathering, analyzing and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches those expectations and standards; and using the resulting information to document, explain, and improve performance. See Assessment Terms section of this webpage for national definitions of frequently used assessment terms.

University Assessment Team

The is the primary oversight body for the student outcomes assessment programs of the University. The Assessment Team reports to the vice president for Academic Affairs and is comprised of

One representative from each of the colleges or schools.
One representative from the library.
One faculty member from the McNichols Faculty Assembly.
Two administrative representatives.

The is responsible for

Developing a mechanism for sharing best practices around the University regarding assessment.

Continuous Improvement

Assessment of Student Learning

Assessment of student learning is the systematic collection of information about student learning, using the time, knowledge, expertise and resources available, in order to inform decisions about how to improve learning (Walvoord, Assessment Clear and Simple). At the heart of our assessment efforts is the work of Barbara Walvoord who states the three steps of assessment are:

Articulate goals for student learning.
Gather evidence about how well 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 are meeting the goals.
Use the information for improvement.

The defining feature of Walvoord's approach to assessment is her emphasis on the course-embedded assignment and on the professional expertise of the individual professor, whose experience in grading student work is the foundational assessment act. Walvoord suggests that professors become intentional, reflective, and explicit in identifying and sharing criteria for 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网’ expected level of performance on each assignment. She asks professors to develop rubrics that specify levels of performance across various criteria, to use the rubrics to score student work, and then to analyze the distribution of scores to discover patterns of strengths and weaknesses in student performance. When these patterns are reported at a department meeting, the ensuing faculty discussion often leads to suggested improvements in teaching methods, assignments, course design, or curricular coverage to ameliorate weaknesses. A department's assessment plan consists of student learning outcomes, assessment methods (embedded assignments) and criteria for success.

Higher Learning Commission - Student Learning, Assessment, and Accreditation

“Among the public’s many expectations of higher education, the most basic is that 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 will learn, and in particular that they will learn what they need to know to attain personal success and fulfill their public responsibilities in a global and diverse society. Student learning is central to all higher education organizations; therefore, these organizations define educational quality--one of their core purposes--by how well they achieve their declared mission relative to student learning. A focus on achieved student learning is critical not only to a higher education organization’s ability to promote and improve curricular and co-curricular learning experiences and to provide evidence of the quality of educational experiences and programs, but also to fulfill the most basic public expectations and needs of higher education” (HLC, 2007).

The Higher Learning Commission’s Fundamental Questions for Conversations on Student Learning

“In using these questions, an organization should ground its conversations in its distinct mission, context, commitments, goals and intended outcomes for student learning. In addition to informing ongoing improvement in student learning, these conversations will assist organizations and peer reviewers in discerning evidence for the Criteria and Core Components” (HLC, 2007).

Core Curricular Outcomes

University of 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网's mission statement describes an education that integrates “the intellectual, spiritual, moral and social development” of its 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网. As the shared academic experience of all 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 undergraduates, the Core Curriculum is the foundation for achieving this mission, and for ensuring that each of its graduates will understand, pursue, and live out that mission. For more details visit the Core Curriculum webpage.

The Core Curriculum Assessment Committee oversees the assessment of Core Curriculum Student Learning Outcomes and uses the schedule listed in the Core Curriculum Assessment Plan. The process used to assess student learning in each knowledge area or integrating theme involves faculty assessing random samples of student artifacts collected from core approved courses. Rubrics are developed using the core curriculum outcomes and the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics.

Core approved courses must fulfill all of the learning outcomes listed for a core knowledge area or integrating theme, thereby affording 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 the opportunity to demonstrate their level of learning core outcomes. The Policy for Continuous Improvement of Core Curriculum Courses focuses on the effectiveness of courses that have been approved for inclusion in the core curriculum. Courses categorized as core assessment criterion partially met or core assessment criterion not met lead to a faculty action plan and subsequent assessments.

Assessment Terms extracted from the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Glossary

Assessment

A participatory, iterative process that provides data institutions need on their 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网’ learning, engages the college and others in analyzing and using that information to confirm and improve teaching and learning, produces evidence that 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 are learning the outcomes the institution intended, guides colleges in making educational and institutional improvements, evaluates whether changes made improve/impact student learning, and documents the learning and institutional efforts.

Benchmark

A criterion-referenced objective performance data point that can be used for the purposes of internal or external comparison. A program can use its own data as a baseline benchmark against which to compare future performance. It can also use data from another program as a benchmark.

Capstone Courses and Projects

Whether they’re called “senior capstones” or some other name, these culminating experiences require 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 nearing the end of college to create a project that integrates and applies what they’ve learned. The project might be a research paper, a performance, a portfolio, or an exhibit of artwork. Capstones can be offered in departmental programs and in general education as well.

Criterion Referenced

A test in which the results can be used to determine a student's progress toward mastery of a content area. Performance is compared to an expected level of mastery in a content area rather than to other 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网' scores. Such tests usually include questions based on what the student was taught and are designed to measure the student's mastery of designated objectives of an instructional program. The "criterion" is the standard of performance established as the passing score for the test. Scores have meaning in terms of what the student knows or can do, rather than how the test-taker compares to a reference or norm group.

Direct Assessment of Learning

Direct assessment is when measures of learning are based on student performance or demonstrates the learning itself. Scoring performance on tests, term papers, or the execution of lab skills, would all be examples of direct assessment of learning. Direct assessment of learning can occur within a course (e.g., performance on a series of tests) or could occur across courses or years (comparing writing scores from sophomore to senior year).

Embedded Assessment

A means of gathering information about student learning that is built into and a natural part of the teaching-learning process. Often uses for assessment purposes classroom assignments that are evaluated to assign 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 a grade. Can assess individual student performance or aggregate the information to provide information about the course or program; can be formative or summative, quantitative or qualitative.

Evaluation

Both qualitative and quantitative descriptions of progress towards and attainment of project goals. Using collected information (assessments) to make informed decisions about continued instruction, programs, activities. Leads to statements of the value, worth, or merit of a program

Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is often done at the beginning or during a program, thus providing the opportunity for immediate evidence for student learning in a particular course or at a particular point in a program. Classroom assessment is one of the most common formative assessment techniques. The purpose of this technique is to improve quality of student learning, leading to feedback in the developmental progression of learning. This can also lead to curricular modifications when specific courses have not met the student learning outcomes. Classroom assessment can also provide important program information when multiple sections of a course are taught because it enables programs to examine if the learning goals and objectives are met in all sections of the course. It also can improve instructional quality by engaging the faculty in the design and practice of the course goals and objectives and the course impact on the program.

Indirect Assessment of Learning

Indirect assessments use perceptions, reflections or secondary evidence to make inferences about student learning. For example, surveys of employers, 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网’ self-assessments, and admissions to graduate schools are all indirect evidence of learning.

Performance-Based Assessment

Performance-based assessment is a test of the ability to apply knowledge in a real-life setting. Assessment of the performance is done using a rubric, or analytic scoring guide to aid in objectivity.

Reliability

How consistently a measure of the same phenomenon leads to the same result after multiple administrations or across multiple scorers/raters.

Portfolio

A systematic and organized collection of a student's work that exhibits to others the direct evidence of a student's efforts, achievements, and progress over a period of time. The collection should involve the student in selection of its contents, and should include information about the performance criteria, the rubric or criteria for judging merit, and evidence of student self-reflection or evaluation. It should include representative work, providing a documentation of the learner's performance and a basis for evaluation of the student's progress. Portfolios may include a variety of demonstrations of learning and have been gathered in the form of a physical collection of materials, videos, CD-ROMs, reflective journals, etc.

Rubric

A rubric is an evaluative tool that explicitly represents the performance expectations for an assignment or piece of work. A rubric divides the assigned work into component parts and provides clear descriptions of the characteristics of the work associated with each component, at varying levels of mastery. Rubrics can be used for a wide array of assignments: papers, projects, oral presentations, artistic performances, group projects, etc. Rubrics can be used as scoring or grading guides, to provide formative feedback to support and guide ongoing learning efforts, or both.

Self-Assessment

A process in which a student engages in a systematic review of a performance, usually for the purpose of improving future performance. May involve comparison with a standard, established criteria. May involve critiquing one's own work or may be a simple description of the performance. Reflection, self-evaluation, metacognition, are related terms.

Student Learning Outcome Statement

A specific description of what a student will be able to do at the end of the period during which that ability is presumed to have been acquired, and the focus of outcome assessment. (Note: some professional organizations may refer to these with different terms, such as objectives, indicators, abilities, or competencies).

Summative Assessment

Summative assessment is comprehensive in nature, provides accountability and is used to check the level of learning at the end of the program. For example, if upon completion of a program 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 will have the knowledge to pass an accreditation test, taking the test would be summative in nature since it is based on the cumulative learning experience. Program goals and objectives often reflect the cumulative nature of the learning that takes place in a program. Thus, the program would conduct summative assessment at the end of the program to ensure 91吃瓜最懂男人的吃瓜网 have met the program goals and objectives. Attention should be given to using various methods and measures in order to have a comprehensive plan. Ultimately, the foundation for an assessment plan is to collect summative assessment data and this type of data can stand-alone. Formative assessment data, however, can contribute to a comprehensive assessment plan by enabling faculty to identify particular points in a program to assess learning (i.e., entry into a program, before or after an internship experience, impact of specific courses, etc.) and monitor the progress being made towards achieving learning outcomes.
