If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
[Korean Language/Linguistics] Exit survey result: A total of 3 students graduating during the period from fall 2015 to spring 2018 were invited to respond and 3 students completed the survey (response rate=100%).
11) 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: 12) 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: 13) Summarize the results of the assessment activities checked in question 7. For example, report the percentage of students who achieved each SLO.
The exit surveys result reflects overall students’ experience with the program, learning outcomes in terms of publications and conference presentations, full-time job allocation, etc. The result shows that all 3 PhD graduates in Korean Linguistics felt that they had achieve all SLOs adequately or higher (100%). All three students are currently teaching at US colleges and universities (Penn State University, University of Virginia, Kapiolani Community College) as full-time instructional faculty members. Overall, students were satisfied with the graduate program and curriculum. Majority of the participants felt they have achieved comprehensive knowledge about the field and established membership in their field. Students made special remarks on the academic profoundness, great faculties and professors, and the opportunity for graduate students to teach at a college level. They also made some recommendations on offering more graduate courses in Korean lingusitics.
14) What best describes how the program used the results? (Check all that apply.)
Assessment procedure changes (SLOs, curriculum map, rubrics, evidence collected, sampling, communications with faculty, etc.) Course changes (course content, pedagogy, courses offered, new course, pre-requisites, requirements) Personnel or resource allocation changes Program policy changes (e.g., admissions requirements, student probation policies, common course evaluation form) Students' out-of-course experience changes (advising, co-curricular experiences, program website, program handbook, brown-bag lunches, workshops) Celebration of student success! Results indicated no action needed because students met expectations Use is pending (typical reasons: insufficient number of students in population, evidence not evaluated or interpreted yet, faculty discussions continue) Other: 15) Please briefly describe how the program used the results.
In pursuit of excellence in research and teaching, the UH Korean Section has strived for program development and diversity, innovative curricula, tailored advising and dedicated services, professional development, and numerous other efforts. To provide students with advanced academic training and scholarly expertise, we strongly encourage all students present their work at national and international conferences. Faculty members provide feedback on their abstracts and presentation skills. The program is also intended to provide professional training and practical teaching experience for future instructors and specialists in Korean language and linguistics studies. Accordingly, the faculty members regularly provide teacher training workshops and visit students' classrooms to provide constructive feedback on their teaching.
