Goals for an Assessment Plan
• To articulate as department members what our expected goals and outcomes are for our graduates
• To evaluate whether we are accomplishing these goals through the curriculum as a whole and within courses that address specific outcomes
![Page 3: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Goals for an Assessment Plan
• To use assessment data to guide improvements/enhancements to the curriculum and instruction
• To report to external stakeholders [students, employers, the Board of Regents, accreditation agencies (e.g., SACS)]
![Page 4: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Changes in the SACS Reaccreditation Guidelines
• Facilitate preparation for changes in SACS Guidelines (effective 2004)Switch from “Criteria of Accreditation” to “Principles of
Accreditation”Comprehensive Standard #1 states that “an educational
program for which academic credit is awarded should establish and evaluate learning outcomes”
Core Requirement #15 requires “the identification of expected competencies in the undergraduate general education program and evidence that graduates have attained those competencies”
![Page 5: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Role of the Assurance of Learning Council
• Review and provide feedback of program assessment efforts
• To provide an external review on the Assurance of Learning process to ensure improvement of student learning at the institutional level
![Page 6: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

“Assessment should be first and foremost about improving student learning and secondarily about determining accountability for the quality of learning produced.”Angelo, 1999
Student Learning is Job 1
![Page 8: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Assessment Should be Student-Centered
“Student’s academic, attitudinal, and behavioral outcomes are the primary source of assessment data … (and) provide information about the effectiveness of the curriculum, advising, faculty development, ethnic diversity goals, and external linkages with other segments of education.”
Halpern et al., pp. 24-25

Step 1- Articulating Student Learning Outcomes
• There are three types of learning outcomes– Knowledge– Skills/Proficiencies– Attitudinally-Based
![Page 14: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 1- Articulating Student Learning Outcomes
• There are two levels of specificity at the program level (the same is true at the course level)– Broad learning outcomes – Specific learning outcomes
![Page 15: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 1- Articulating Student Learning Outcomes
• Where available, use disciplinary or national models when developing learning outcomes; however, we may choose to adapt a national model of learning outcomes to fit our unique niche or mission
![Page 16: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step 1- Articulating Student Learning Outcomes
• State Outcomes in measurable terms so that it can be determined if achievement of the learning outcomes has been achieved.– Although broad outcomes can be stated in
measurable terms they are still difficult to assess because of their breath. Therefore, because specific outcomes should be the primary focus of assessment, they must be measurable.
![Page 17: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step 1- Articulating Student Learning Outcomes
• Applying Bloom’s taxonomy (1956) – Original taxonomy divides thinking skills into
lower and higher level knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
– Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) have adapted Bloom’s model to more outcome-oriented, contemporary language.
– Clark (2002) shows how Bloom’s work can be used to develop specific learning outcomes.

Listing Course & Program Requirements
Creating an inventory of key course and program requirements is an important step in ensuring a strong linkage between the program’s requirements and the learning outcomes.

Format for Listing of RequiredCourse and Program Requirements
• Required Course or Program Requirement
• Note. List all requirements for the Academic Program; the General Education unit should list requirements for general education.

Linking of Course & Program Requirements to GSLOs & SSLOs
Using the inventory of course and program requirements, general and specific SLOs should be linked to course and program requirements that facilitate their attainment. In addition, each linked course or program requirement should include a statement on how it contributes to attainment of the specific SLO.
![Page 46: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Workshop HHS College October 17, 2003 Val Whittlesey, Bill Hill, & Ed Rugg Assurance of Learning Council.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e445503460f94b378a2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
