Choosing a Published Instrument to Assess Student Learning
Magna, Dec 2008, Minutes: 90
90-Minute computer file containing audio with synchronized PowerPoint and downloadable handouts - Originally Broadcast December 4, 2008
It’s your first big decision when considering student assessment tools:
Store-bought or homemade?
“Store-bought” assessment tools - more generally known as “published assessment instruments” - have some advantages and disadvantages relative to homemade, or locally developed, tools. But published instruments are also a diverse lot; they need to be examined carefully, and on their individual merits.
You’ll get an excellent perspective on these tools in Choosing a Published Instrument to Assess Student Learning, an online seminar led by Linda Suskie of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. This 90-minute presentation will help you decide whether published instruments should be part of your assessment program, and if so, which ones.
Here’s just some of what is covered:
- The difference between a published and a standardized test.
- The relative advantages and disadvantages of published and locally-developed assessment tools.
- The key features of some of today’s most popular published tests and surveys.
- Sources of further information on published instruments, and ways to interpret and critically analyze that information.
- The essential questions that must be addressed as you plan the administration of an assessment program.
- The appropriate role of published instruments in your assessment program.
Ms. Suskie also looks in detail at many of the best-known (and some lesser-known) published instruments, including:
- MAPP
- CAAP
- CBASE
- Praxis 1
- Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA)
- The National Survey of Student Engagement
- GRE
- And more
