Results of assessments of student learning in general education

(Institutions will be provided the option of using national normed tests and/or participation in an MDHE administered project involving samples of student work evaluated by a statewide committee of faculty). Data generated should serve dual purposes of accountability, i.e., demonstration of learning gains, and improvement, i.e., use by faculty to make changes in curriculum content and delivery.

Methodology

1) Performance Indicators survey
Numerator: Number of completers who scored above the 50th percentile and 80th percentile on a “nationally recognized test of general education where nationally normed percentiles are available”.

Denominator: Total number of completers who took a “nationally recognized test of general education where nationally normed percentiles are available”.

Disaggregation: Institutional sector, award level, test name (currently not collected)

2) Assessment study / project
Details remain to be determined.

Limitations and Issues:

The Performance Indicators survey does not currently collect information detailing the specific assessment instrument(s) employed by each public institution.
Less than one-year certificates are currently not included in the Performance Indicators survey.
Data is reported for completers who may have taken the assessment at any time during their academic career.
