Public Health and Human Sciences Undergraduate Assessment Mark Hoffman A
What we (OSU) expect students to learn… • Assessment on many levels: • Learning Goals for Graduates • Baccalaureate Core Student Learning Outcomes by Category • College Learning Outcomes • School / Department / Concentration Outcomes • We have made great strides but still have a long way to go to organize and close the loop..
Where PHHS is headed • Where we have been: • 4 units (departments) • Most units have had their own list of outcomes • Even specific outcomes at the option level • Some units have professional programs with accreditation • Wide variety of rich assessment techniques used to assess learning
Where PHHS is headed • In the self-study period of accreditation for College of Public Health and Human Sciences • As a college we now are responsible to a single accrediting agency & the University & several other program accreditation agencies .
Council of Education on Public Health • Model for Assessment of Student Learning • Competencies (list for each major) • College level • Common across all levels • Area level • Specific to major or concentration • Learning Objectives • At course level
Competencies • related to general skill application • Learning Outcome • the incremental learning experiences at the course and experiential levels that lead to the development of the competencies
PHHS Educational Competencies Major 1 Core Competencies for all areas of study Area Competencies specific to Majors Course Objective Course Objective Course Objective Major 2 Area Competencies specific to Majors Course Objective Course Objective Course Objective Major 3 Area Competencies specific to Majors Course Objective Course Objective Course Objective Major 4 Area Competencies specific to Majors Course Objective Course Objective Course Objective Major 5 Area Competencies specific to Majors Course Objective Course Objective Course Objective
Concluding Thoughts • Assessment only as good as we are in using the information. • Need systems in place that cover as much as the landscape as possible • Learning Objectives (at the course level) need to map to competencies • Fresh look at Learning Objectives at course level may be helpful in curricular streamlining.
