In your programs, how often do faculty use of each of these assessment tools for feedback about student learning?

Assessment Tool Not at all Sometimes Frequently Always
written exams        
oral exams        
written assignments        
group projects        
presentations        
performance appraisals        
simulations        
portfolios        
capstone courses        
external examiners        
behavioral observations        
exit interviews        
surveys/questionnaires        
archival records (institutional data)        
student self assessments        
classroom assessment techniques (CATs)        

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?
