For many in international education, assessment can seem daunting
and overwhelming, especially given that such efforts need to
involve much more than a pre/post survey. This book is a practical
guide to learning-outcomes assessment in international education
for practitioners who are starting to engage with the process, as
well as for those who want to improve the quality and effectiveness
of their assessment efforts. Assuming no prior knowledge, the book
offers an accessible and clear road map to the application of
assessment. Recognizing that a one size fits all approach cannot
capture the diversity of goals and settings of international
education, or the rich variety of programs and organizations
involved in delivering it, author Darla Deardorff provides the
reader with foundational principles and knowledge to develop
appropriate assessment approaches for evaluating and improving
student learning outcomes, which are the drivers of higher
education internationalizationShe provides the background for
assessment, highlights how the characteristics of international
education pose unique challenges for assessment, considers the
contexts to which assessment may be applied whether in cross-border
or at home institutional experiences, such as in curricular,
co-curricular or extracurricular settings and distills a seemingly
convoluted process into a manageable approach. From the basics of
getting started in assessment to highlighting pitfalls to avoid,
this book offers a holistic and practical approach to assessment
that moves beyond seeing assessment as a discrete activity to
on-going process that is integrated into student learning. There is
also a unique chapter for education leaders on assessment
essentials from a leadership-perspective. The appendices include
worksheets for implementing assessment, creating an assessment
team, and getting buy-in from stakeholders. Other appendices
include a list of standards adapted to international education
outcomes assessment, guidance on assessing intercultural
competence, and resources. This book reflects the author s
experience of over a decade of work with international education
programs and higher education institutions around the world, and
synthesizes what she has learned into an easy-to-use resource for
anyone who wants to understand and utilize effective assessment in
the field of international education. "
