Assessment Of Student Learning

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are becoming the norm for all types of accreditation decisions by regional and specialized agencies. SLOs and student assessment norms and best practices are described, as well as a path to establish SLOs. Analyzing and using the data collected about student assessment to enrich student learning is also described. Special attention is given to LIS instruction, but several comparisons to other disciplines are also made.

Assessment Of Student Learning

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for a sustainability major, evaluate faculty incorporation of the SLOs into the courses in the sustainability major curriculum and measure student performance on the SLOs from entry into the major to the senior capstone course. Design/methodology/approach Through an iterative approach with a faculty advisory committee, SLOs were developed for the sustainability major. Curriculum mapping followed by evaluation of course syllabi were used to determine the extent to which each course addressed the SLOs. Student performance on most SLOs was measured through student assessment in an introductory and capstone course to evaluate the change in performance over time. Findings The core courses of the sustainability major were more likely to address the SLOs of the major than that of the elective courses. Where measured, student performance on the SLOs increased from the introductory course to the capstone course. Sustainability majors participated in an average of almost ten experiential learning opportunities focused on sustainability. Originality/value This research provides a longitudinal assessment of student learning in an undergraduate sustainability major. Because undergraduate sustainability degrees are generally new, this research can serve as a base upon which to continue to improve sustainability curriculum design.

Total Program

Assessment in educational institutions is mandated by the public and by accrediting organizations. Faculty must plan for program assessment within the context of the college or university goals and assessment projects. Within the department or college of nursing, student learning outcomes must be assessed at the total program level and at the course and classroom levels. Faculty who are motivated to plan assessments and use outcome data should take leadership in the process. The process consists of determining the outcomes to be assessed, the measures to be used, and the standards to be reached. When data has been collected, it must be evaluated and used to make improvements. Finally, the assessment process itself should be assessed. This article gives examples of assessment methods for all levels of assessment at the institution, but especially at the program and course levels. A departmental assessment blueprint is included. The end result of implementation of an assessment plan is that at every level of the institution, excellence should be enhanced.

Pengabdian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh penilaian siswa terfokus terhadap hasil belajar siswa bukan kemampuan siswa, kurangnya pengetahuan guru tentang kemampuan matematika siswa, letak sekolah yang terpencil dekat dengan pantai. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di SD Negeri Sedari I Desa Sedari Kecamatan Cibuaya Kabupaten Karawang – Jawa Barat. Metode yang digunakan ekspositori, diskusi dan simulasi. Hasil kegiatan dapat dilihat dari persentasi kemampuan pemahaman siswa sebesar 90% dalam simulasi pembelajaran Ikan Veves dalam mengembagkan kemampuan pemahaman siswa pada materi bilangan romawi di SD Negeri Sedari I. Kata Kunci : Srategi Pembelajaran Ikan Veves, Kemampuan Pemahaman Matematika This service is motivated by student assessment focused on student learning outcomes rather than student abilities, lack of teacher knowledge about students' mathematical abilities, the location of remote schools close to the beach. This activity was carried out at SDN Sedari I Sedari Village, Cibuaya District, Karawang Regency, West Java. The method used expository, discussion and simulation. The results of the activity can be seen from the percentage of students 'understanding ability by 90% in the Fish Veves learning simulation in developing students' understanding abilities in roman numerals material at SDN Sedari I.

In this paper, the author discusses assessment of student learning in light of evolving accreditation standards. The author describes the Indiana Model—a comprehensive approach that includes: (a) a Course-Learning Objectives (CLO) classification system to organize and analyze the total array of course learning objectives addressed in a curriculum, (b) a direct Assessment of Student Learning system to demonstrate student learning outcomes, and (c) an indirect Assessment of Student Learning system to provide for the perspectives of consumers and other stakeholders. When integrated, the three systems may be used for curriculum analysis and development, assessment of student learning, and program evaluation—particularly in terms of student learning outcomes. The proposed integrated approach to student learning assessment addresses both university and professional accreditation standards.
