Abstract | Three presentations from the Third National Conference on Assessment in Higher Education are included. In "Assessment and Human Values: Confessions of a Reformed Number Cruncher," Alexander W. Astin, focuses on measuring education productivity, assessment lessons from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, a talent-development model of excellence, assessment and values, multiple-choice tests, holistic methods, assessing affective outcomes, and beyond narcissism. It stresses that the key to achieving institutional transcendence is ultimately in how excellence is defined. "Assessment and Incentives: The Medium is the Message" (Linda Darling-Hammond) discusses from a teacher's point of view the following: how measurement changes behavior; incentives: a parable with lessons; the K-12 experience;, limits of standardized testing; effects of testing on teaching and learning; and policy making and assessment. Important factors are educating those who would impose hasty or inadequate methods, and insisting on intellectual honesty and educational validity. "The Assessment Movement: What Next? Who Cares?" (Robert H. McCabe) gives a community college president's views on access and standards, the public call for accountability, state initiatives in assessment, the Florida experience; and institutional assessment initiatives. The assessment movement is growing in tandem with the teaching/learning movement and can be considered an element of it. The future of assessment is in improving student development through more effective teaching and learning. (SM) |
