Presentation Overview

 Assessment Purposes and Approaches

 Introduction to the ePDP

 ePDP assessment strategies

 Outcomes

 Quantitative  Qualitative

 Implications and Future Assessment Efforts

Electronic Personal Development Plan (e PDP)

 A flexible online portfolio and web-page presentation tool that allows students to plan, mark progress, and reflect on their college experience.

 Implemented in first-year seminars and is easily adapted to courses, departments, and programs so that students can continue to use the PDP throughout their college experience to guide their learning.

 Components of the PDP include a semester in review, personal learning goals, and a semester-by-semester plan.

 (Buyarski, 2011)

Purposes of Assessment

 Determine if the program (e.g., ePDP process) is attaining

intended goals and student learning outcomes.

 Determine if students learn through process of structured

reflection and completing prompts (e.g., about self, integrative learning, critical thinking, writing).

 Enable students to assess own strengths.

 Allow more opportunities to improve teaching and

learning.

 Help institution demonstrate accountability or determine

worth and value of programs.

 Make data-based decisions.

Assessment Approaches

 Employ qualitative and quantitative methods.

 Employ multiple measures from different sources.

 Employ summative and formative approaches.

 Take steps to ensure results are linked to planning and

decisions.

Formative vs. Summative Assessment

Formative Assessment

 Evaluations intended - by the evaluator - as a basis for improvement (Scriven, 1996).

 Typically conducted during the development or improvement of a program or product and it is conducted, often more than once, for in-house staff of the program with the intent to improve.

 It typically involves qualitative feedback (rather than scores) for both student and teacher that focuses on the details of content and performance.

Summative Assessment

 Seeks to monitor educational outcomes, often for purposes of external accountability.  Assessment of learning and is contrasted with formative assessment, which is assessment for learning.  Provides information on the product's efficacy (its ability to do what it was designed to do). For example, did the learners learn what they were supposed to learn after participating in a program using the instructional module.

Quantitative and Qualitative Methods

 Multiple Methods and Measures are Employed to

Assess Program Processes and Outcomes

 Complementary Techniques

 Work Best in Dialogue

Qualitative Assessment

 Brings Awareness Of Program Implementation

Differences

 Provides In-Depth Understanding of Student

Responses and Interactions

 Represents Part of a Long Term Strategy of

Formative Evaluation

Quantitative Assessment

 Conduct quasi-experimental designs employing multivariate

analyses of covariance, repeated measures MANCOVAs, and

hierarchical regression procedures.

 Conduct analyses to determine program effects on academic

performance, retention rates, and DFW rates.

 Describe retention rates and GPAs in defined populations over

semesters and years.

 Examine participants compared to non-participants with regard to

GPA and retention while adjusting for academic preparation and

background differences

 Examine predicted vs. actual retention, course grades, and DFW

rates.

 Administer student surveys to assess student needs, satisfaction,

engagement, program impacts, reasons for leaving, etc.

Employ Multiple Methods to Assess

Learning

  1. Direct

Projects, papers, tests, observations

  1. Indirect

Questionnaires, interviews, focus groups

Unobtrusive measures such as

Grades, Syllabi, and Transcripts

Focus on Learning

Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) of Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU)

 The Essential Learning Outcomes

 The Principles of Excellence

Principles of Excellence

Principle Two:

Give Students a Compass

Focus each student’s plan of study on

achieving the Essential Learning Outcomes

and assess progress

Why are we implementing the PDP?

The personal development plan is designed to foster:

  1. Goal commitment (student commitment to earning

a degree)

  1. Academic achievement (through goal setting and

planning)

  1. Curricular coherence and meaning in the first-year

seminar

  1. Each of these goals is a way to foster student

development

Five Learning Outcomes for the PDP

1. Self-Assessment: Students identify success-related competencies 2. Exploration: Students research and identify realistic and informed

academic and career goals

3. Evaluation: Students analyze their academic progress over the semester

in terms of progress toward academic and career goals

4. Goal Setting: Students connect personal values and life purpose to the

motivation and inspiration behind their goals

5. Planning: Students locate programs, information, people, and

opportunities to support and reality test their goals.
