- Summary:
-
In March 1991, the College Standards and Accreditation Council (CSAC) Establishment Board, created by Canada's Minister of Education, proposed wide-ranging reforms for college education and training. This paper reviews some of the ways in which Algonquin College (AC), in Ontario, is planning to interface and articulate with CSAC initiatives to ensure full compliance and retain institutional autonomy. First, the CSAC initiatives are described for Ontario, indicating that they rely on learning outcomes as the basis for the definition of program standards and aim to establish system-wide outcome standards by province to ensure similar outcomes for similar college programs and demonstrate to the public that standards are being met. Next, characteristics of learning outcomes and how they are determined are reviewed, and information is presented on drafting learning outcomes statements. A curriculum model for outcomes-based education is then presented and assessment and evaluation strategies are discussed, including eight types of instruments or methods. Finally, the province-wide regulations for program review are described and the program review system at AC is detailed, including the use of critical performance indicators, cyclical program evaluation, ongoing program appraisal, program review, and the program review report.
