| Abstract | Principles of sound educational assessment are discussed, along with current assessment issues and appropriate roles of colleges and the state in developing and implementing assessment systems. Assessment practice in New Jersey is considered. Principles of good assessment include: assessment should serve, not dictate, educational purposes; forms of assessment designed to serve one purpose will not necessarily be suitable to serve another; judgments regarding individuals, programs, and colleges should be based on multiple indicators of performance; and when improvement in educational practice is desired, faculty should help shape assessment purposes and procedures. Features of schools that influence the most appropriate forms of assessment include mission, curricula, and faculty roles. Efforts to develop more systematic assessment procedures at the state level in New Jersey include the Basic Skills Assessment Program and the College Outcomes Evaluation Program. One major issue concerning assessment is whether students should be required by the state to pass a particular test in order to be permitted to proceed to the next phase of their college education. A resolution concerning assessment principles in New Jersey is included. (SW) |
