This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of higher education has never been clearer. Educational attainmentâ€"the number of years a person spends in schoolâ€"strongly predicts adult earnings, as well as health and civic engagement. Yet relative to other developed nations, educational attainment in the United States is lagging, with young Americans who heretofore led the world in completing postsecondary degrees now falling behind their global peers. As part of a broader national college completion agenda aimed at increasing college graduation rates, higher education researchers and policy makers are exploring the role of intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies in supporting student success. Supporting Students' College Success: The Role of Assessment of Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Competencies identifies 8 intrapersonal competencies (competencies involving self-management and positive self-evaluation) that can be developed through interventions and appear to be related to persistence and success in undergraduate education. The report calls for further research on the importance of these competencies for college success, reviews current assessments of them and establishes priorities for the use of current assessments, and outlines promising new approaches for improved assessments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers a study of the utility of alternative (i.e., non-multiple choice) forms of student assessment for vocational education, the primary objective of which was to describe various alternative assessments currently available and offer criteria for choosing among them. Six operational programs were used as case studies; each employs one or more constructed-response measures, and together they represent a range of assessment options. Each was critically reviewed based on descriptive materials, research literature, interviews, and, in four cases, site visits. The evaluation focused on comparing the different assessments' quality (reliability, validity, fairness), feasibility (cost, time, complexity, credibility), and potential usefulness for vocational educators. Design and implementation issues important to any decisions about using alternative assessments were determined (e.g., the need to clarify the assessment's purpose), as well as related issues (e.g., the relative advantages of low versus high stakes, voluntary versus mandatory participation). Illustrations are given of how vocational educators can use this review as an aid in determining the usefulness of the alternatives for a particular situation.

Book excerpt: This report presents the findings from a study designed: (1) to determine the current availability and utility of student outcome statistics in the nation; and (2) to examine the feasibility and desirability of nationwide institutional reporting of student outcome data. Following an introductory section on the purposes of the report and the approaches taken, section II addresses the desirability of student outcome data, focusing on the utility of the information and the necessary properties of outcome statistics. Section III explores sources of available data on postsecondary student outcomes and describes current capabilities for reporting institutional-level student outcomes, examining both institutional and state capabilities as well as other sources. Section IV discusses problems with institutional-level student outcome reporting, examining the quality of data that are currently available and the current and prospective uses of these data. Section V identifies those aspects of student outcomes statistics that require definitional specificity and describes data collection procedures and methodologies that could minimize the various problems of student-outcome reporting and produce useful and meaningful institution-level data. Finally, section VI summarizes the report and formulates conclusions concerning the desirability and feasibility of different approaches for obtaining student outcome information. Suggestions for specific actions that must be initiated if meaningful institution-level student outcome data are to be a reality for all postsecondary institutions in the nation are provided. Appendices include technical notes and summaries of definition working group meetings. (14 references) (GLR)
