Assess Teaching & Learning - Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation - Carnegie Mellon University

Assess Teaching & Learning - Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation - Carnegie Mellon University | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What is assessment?
Where do we want students to be at the end of a course or a program? And how will we know if they get there? Those two questions are at the heart of assessment.
Although there is a lot of buzz about assessment these days, assessment itself is nothing new. If you’ve ever given an exam, led a discussion, or assigned a project – and used what you discovered about student learning to refine your teaching – you’ve engaged in assessment. Assessment is simply the process of collecting information about student learning and performance to improve education.
At Carnegie Mellon, we believe that for assessment to be meaningful (not bean-counting or teaching to the test!) it must be done thoughtfully and systematically. We also believe it should be driven by faculty so that the information gathered:
Reflects the goals and values of particular disciplines
Helps instructors refine their teaching practices and grow as educators
Helps departments and programs refine their curriculum to prepare students for an evolving workplace

What Is Assessment? | Definitions

What Is Assessment? | Definitions | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From assessment.uconn.edu - February 25, 2015 9:39 PM
Various definitions of assessment and the role it plays in teaching and learning:

Assessment involves the use of empirical data on student learning to refine programs and improve student learning.  (Assessing Academic Programs in Higher Education by Allen 2004)
Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning.  (Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses: shifting the focus from teaching to learning by Huba and Freed 2000)
Assessment is the systematic basis for making inferences about the learning and development of students.  It is the process of defining, selecting, designing, collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and using information to increase students’ learning and development.  (Assessing Student Learning and Development: A Guide to the Principles, Goals, and Methods of Determining College Outcomes by Erwin 1991)
Assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development.  (Assessment Essentials: planning, implementing, and improving assessment in higher education by Palomba and Banta 1999)
