Faculty in my program most often think of assessment as providing:
|________________________|________________________|______________________| |
individual feedback
to the learners |
program feedback
to the instructors |
Faculty attitudes toward the necessity of assessment:
|________________________|________________________|______________________| |
"They" are making us do
this (accreditors, legislators,
outside agencies) |
Professionals assess
as part of continuous
improvement efforts |
Faculty attitudes about usefulness of assessment:
|________________________|________________________|______________________| |
It's another useless
paperwork exercise |
Assessment provides
useful information to
improve programs |
Faculty feelings about the use of assessment results:
|________________________|________________________|______________________| |
It will surely be
used against us |
We have the power to
use these results to
improve our programs
and courses |
What incentives can we provide (time and money) to faculty to work on assessment?
What motivates faculty to learn new assessment techniques?
What motivates faculty to use assessment information?
What motivates faculty to change instructional methods?
