4.1 Principles of Good Practice in Assessing Learning Outcomes
00:48
The assessment of student learning starts with
the institution’s mission and core values.
There should be a clear statement on
the kinds of learning that the institution
values most for its students.
00:57
Assessment works best when the program
has clear statement of objectives aligned
with the institutional mission and core values.
01:14
Outcomes-based assessment focuses on the
student activities that will still be relevant
after formal schooling concludes.
01:27
Assessment requires attention not only to outcomes
but also and equally to the activities and experiences
that lead to the attainment of learning outcomes.
These are supporting student activities.
01:43
Assessment works best when it is
continuous, ongoing and not episodic.
