Student Learning at UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
All colleges and universities use multiple approaches to measure student learning. Many of these are specific to particular disciplines, many are coordinated with accrediting agencies, and many are based on outcomes after students have graduated.
UCF is an exciting public multi-campus, research university, dedicated to offering the highest quality undergraduate and graduate programs. A meaningful Institutional Effectiveness assessment process consistently focuses on student learning and development. Program-specific learning compacts assess student critical thinking and communication skills, as well as discipline-specific knowledge. These skills are reinforced and assessed in general education courses, in degree programs, and in the university's quality enhancement plan. Data derived from assessments are used to continually enhance teaching and learning. Details on UCF's assessment process can be found at www.oeas.ucf.edu.
Learning Assessment Examples
Pilot Project to Measure Core Learning Outcomes
Colleges and universities participating in the College Portrait measure the typical improvement in students' abilities to think, reason, and write using one of three tests. This is part of a pilot project to better understand and compare what students learn between their freshman and senior years at different colleges and universities.
This university is in the process of collecting and analyzing learning outcomes test results.
