Suggested Sequence for Assessment of High-Impact Practices

1. 建立学习成果

  • Learning outcomes are the knowledge, skills, or values you expect your students to achieve 
  • You can use your existing course-level learning outcomes, 你的项目的学习成果, or write new learning outcomes specific to your HIP

2. 选择评估措施

  • Choose direct or indirect measures “Embedded” assessments that serve double-duty as assessments and graded work might be the most efficient

3. 数据收集

  • 如果可能的话, collect baseline data from a comparison or control course or section (perhaps a different section of the same course)
  • Gather information about the background of your students (e.g., prior knowledge and GPA) Collect data from the HIP course and analyze it

4. 框架的两种模型

  • 评估I-E-O模型(Astin)
    • I = inputs (for example, students’ prior level of understanding)
    • E =环境(i.e.你的髋关节干预)
    • O = outputs (for example, achievement of learning outcomes
  • The main question is: Did the HIP intervention facilitate the achievement of learning outcomes given the students’ backgrounds?

  • PAR stands for Predictive Analytics Reporting

  • Know your students’ locations in the Academic Cycle (e.g., know about grade levels, # of units completed, major courses completed)

  • Gather information about “predictors” of success, including learner characteristics (e.g.(如GPA)，学习者行为(如.g., attendance), instructor behaviors, the HIP intervention, and others

  • The main question is: How did the HIP intervention contribute to the progression of the student in the Academic Cycle, 考虑到各种预测因素?

5. Submit Outcome Data To Program Heads In Fall

  • Program assessment reports are due to the University every fall.
  • It will be helpful to your 程序 head to have access to your data and to your conclusions.
  • Link your HIP learning outcomes to 程序 learning outcomes
