Student Learning at Indiana University Kokomo
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.
As a reflection of our commitment to student success, the IU Kokomo community engages in ongoing, systematic assessment of student learning. This process gives faculty information on the effectiveness of academic programs in meeting their student learning goals and provides guidance for enhancing those programs. Faculty members in each degree program develop student learning outcomes for the program and are responsible for assessing whether students have attained those outcomes. As part of this process, students may be asked to participate in activities such as surveys, standardized exams, or focus groups. In addition, student performance on exams, quizzes, papers, or other assignments in a course may be used to assess learning outcomes. In all cases, the purpose is to assess the effectiveness of the program as a whole in achieving its goals for student learning.
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.
These data will be available in April, 2012.
