- Summary:
-
The use of value-added assessment to improve undergraduate education at Rhode Island College is described, with attention to how the process evolved, problems encountered, and future plans. Value-added assessment is used in the development of student educational plans, curriculum evaluation and revision, and assessment of the interaction of work experience and educational development. Early stages of the project focused on selection of assessment instruments and the student sample, and on introducing faculty to the use of student assessment information in curricular planning and evaluation. The assessment process focuses on both general education and liberal education goals and student gains toward career preparation. Student growth assessment will involve: measuring cognitive and affective growth toward education outcomes established by faculty committees; assessing writing skills periodically; assessing graduates' mastery of major field subject matter; assessing the relationship between course grading and other indicators of student growth; and implementing surveys to determine student attitudes and activities.
