Colleges and universities have been criticized for their failure to
educate students effectively. As a result, higher educational
institutions have become increasingly interested in student
outcomes assessment as an important tool for curriculum development
and policy planning. This valuable work offers comprehensive
coverage of issues, concepts, and practices in student outcomes
assessment. The author explores the history of outcomes assessment,
the role of governmental intervention in outcomes assessment, and
the relationship between outcomes assessment and institutional
accreditation. Sims begins by reviewing the political context of
assessment programs and policies and by identifying and defining
significant terms. She then traces the history of outcomes
assessment programs at several institutions, and she studies the
impact of federal and state initiatives on higher education. The
study concludes with practical advice on developing assessment
programs, and a valuable appendix summarizing and discussing
important federal legislation in this area. Academic administrators
and others concerned with educational policy will find this book a
useful guide to a growing area of concern.
