(e.g., establishing/revising outcomes, aligning the curriculum to outcomes, collecting evidence, interpreting evidence, using results, revising the assessment plan, creating surveys or tests, etc.)
Yes No (skip to question 14)6) For the period between June 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014: State the assessment question(s) and/or assessment goals. Include the SLOs that were targeted, if applicable.
Filipino: Through the College of LLL, we conducted exit surveys and OPI for all graduates of our B.A. program.
Then we designed a Filipino program assessment plan, the main goals of which are as follows:
- to confirm and/or tweak the program’s student learning outcomes
- to review and reformat the curriculum map
- to create and implement a signature assignment for 300-400 level courses and use this as evidence for direct assessment
7) State the type(s) of evidence gathered to answer the assessment question and/or meet the assessment goals that were given in Question #6.
Filipino: 1. Data from OPI interviews and exit surveys were gathered by the College of LLL.
2. To assess our SLOs, we will collect signature assignments from five 300-400 level courses. Target date to complete gathering data is December 2014.
8) State how many persons submitted evidence that was evaluated. If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
Filipino: Our target is to collect data (signature assignments) from 3 teachers and 5 classes by the end of December, 2014. Since this is a pilot project, we will use all the data available. We will do purposive sampling in the future.
For the exit survey, the associate dean shared the data with the department chair and the Filipino faculty.
9) Who interpreted or analyzed the evidence that was collected? (Check all that apply.)
Course instructor(s) Faculty committee Ad hoc faculty group Department chairperson Persons or organization outside the university Faculty advisor Advisors (in student support services) Students (graduate or undergraduate) Dean/Director Other: 10) How did they evaluate, analyze, or interpret the evidence? (Check all that apply.)
Used a rubric or scoring guide Scored exams/tests/quizzes Used professional judgment (no rubric or scoring guide used) Compiled survey results Used qualitative methods on interview, focus group, open-ended response data External organization/person analyzed data (e.g., external organization administered and scored the nursing licensing exam) Other: Filipino: For the signature assignment, a rubric will be used to interpret the evidence.11) For the assessment question(s) and/or assessment goal(s) stated in Question #6:
Summarize the actual results.
Filipino: For the period Spring 2012 to Spring 2014, a Filipino BA exit survey was conducted. Five students (100% response rate) responded to the survey.
The results showed that students were either "somewhat satisfied" or "very satisfied" with several aspects of the program like faculty mentoring and advising, academic standards, extra-curricular activities, overall quality of instruction, relevance of the program. Areas that received "neutral" ratings from students are study tour, immersion and professional training opportunities.
12) State how the program used the results or plans to use the results. Please be specific.
Filipino: The exit survey identified the limited scholarship resources and its management as weaknesses of the program. The Filipino program will review its procedures for awarding scholarships and will develop a resource mobilization plan for the benefit of students.
For the current assessment plan, results are intended to be used to improve teaching strategies and assignments, and to propose/implement curriculum changes, if necessary.
13) Beyond the results, were there additional conclusions or discoveries?
This can include insights about assessment procedures, teaching and learning, program aspects and so on.
Filipino: The current budget crisis is good motivation for faculty to participate in assessment activities. Because resources are limited, it is imperative that we prove the value of our program with supporting evidence. The teachers are now motivcated to review our program so we can improve the delivery of services for students. We are all intent on improving our courses in order to attract more students to our program. With more students, we can receive more resources and maximize them.
