HistoryHistory 1960’s– In the past, year-end reports demonstrated proper
management but not whether the programs directly aided student learning
– Colleges measured enrollments, participation rates, budget expenditures
1990’s– More recently have expanded to measure success,
retention, persistence, graduation, and transfer– Focus has also been on instructional delivery versus
student learning 2000’s
– Student Learning Outcomes Present state of MJC

Standard IIBStandard IIB The institution recruits and admits diverse students who
are able to benefit from its programs, consistent with its mission. Student support services address the identified needs of students and create a supportive learning environment. The entire student pathway through the institutional experience is characterized by a concern for student access, progress, learning, and success. The
institution systematically assesses student support services using student learning outcomes, faculty and staff input, and other appropriate measures in order to improve the effectiveness of these services.

What are Learning What are Learning Outcomes?Outcomes? “Learning outcomes” not a new concept
– Used in California in K-12, special ed, voc programs– Used in other college systems (i.e. Maryland,
England)– Barr and Tagg called for learning outcomes in 1995
Focuses more on students’ learning rather than just how we instruct or support them; outcome based
Emphasis on higher more complex level of learning
Clearly states educational intentions for students
See example SLO in Appendix E in handout

Sounds like behavioral Sounds like behavioral objectives!objectives!
Learning outcomes differ from behavioral objectives by – Being broadly stated– Having instructors assess gains in skills rather
than creating detailed list of specific topics and abilities to be mastered (Harden 2002)
Some authors do not perceive that the difference between learning outcomes and behavioral objectives is important (Prideaux 2000)
Important to distinguish the two to gain acceptance

6 Principles – O’Banion6 Principles – O’BanionThe Learning College…The Learning College…
…creates substantive change in individual learners …engages learners in the learning process as full
partners who must assume primary responsibility for their own choices
…creates and offers as many options for learning as possible
…assists learners to form and participate in collaborative learning activities
…defines the roles of learning facilitators in response to the needs of the learners
…succeeds only when improved and expanded learning can be documented for learners

New PerspectiveNew Perspective “We must treat the college as a learning
laboratory” – John Baker, VP SS Gavilan Dealing with whole student-their
uncertainty, response to that uncertainty, and their wisdom and courage-all matters of being (Harden 2002)
Shift from instruction as “core of the college” towards learning as central focus
True marriage between academic and life skills learning

Institutional ConcernsInstitutional Concerns
Students have a fundamental right to services and if these services are not or cannot be related to learning outcomes, their existence could be unfairly jeopardized (Collins 2002)
Uncritical application of business models and concepts to education
Fear all this measuring will be a waste of effort and not enhance student achievement – Luna, Gavilan College Academic Senate
Do students really care about learning? - Borden

Dimensions of EvidenceDimensions of Evidence
Quantitative or qualitative– Not everything that can be counted counts and not
everything that counts can be counted -Einstein Direct or indirect Norm- or criterion-referenced Should be representative and relevant Need several pieces of evidence to point to a
conclusion– e.g. Student complains of fever and aches, their
temperature is 102º F, tonsils are not inflamed, eyes are red and irritated, posture appears weak. Notice mix of types of evidence that all point to same conclusion…flu!

Causality cannot be claimed, useful in conjunction with other information
Causality cannot be claimed, useful in conjunction with other information
Causality cannot be claimed but complex and difficult to measure effects can be noted
Ethical Consideration
Denies access to a service that may or may not be effective for some students
All students have access but some receive less information
No restriction of access or information
Use student time to complete survey

Assessment TipsAssessment Tips Collect data from a representative sample
rather than everyone in population Collect only a few well chosen pieces of
data Have assessment stem from activities you
already do if possible Team up with others to share assessment
work Design activities and outcomes with
assessment in mind Ask for advice from your colleagues -
especially vocational faculty who relate to learning outcomes as core competencies

Your Turn! Your Turn!
Write at least 2 learning outcomes for your program and at least 2 assessment strategies for each outcome

Reflect on Your SLO’s:Reflect on Your SLO’s:
Will the student understand? Is this truly an overarching outcome? Can you blend? Does this take into consideration the
other areas your program interfaces with?
If you had only 6 outcomes for your program, is this one of them?
In reality, can this be done?

Questions to ContemplateQuestions to Contemplate
Why should I use student learning outcomes for evaluating my program?
What are some strategies for writing effective learning outcomes?
What are some differences between qualitative and a quantitative measurements?
How can anecdotal reports or case studies be used in program assessment?
What are the pros and cons of using sampling methods for assessment?
