| 520 | |a The paper addresses issues concerned with increasing state interest in encouraging public institutions of higher education to demonstrate educational quality through outcomes assessment and reports on the development and implementation of Tennessee's program of performance funding. Emphasis is on guidelines contained within a 5-year performance funding program implemented in 1983. Standards were developed for five performance funding areas, including accreditation, program field evaluation, outcomes of the general education curriculum, referent group surveys, and planning for instructional improvement. A survey of 23 Tennessee institutions during the last year of the first funding cycle identified strengths and weaknesses associated with each of the funding areas, such as percentage of programs accredited, use of peer review, and use of a comprehensive field exam in major fields. Ninety-five percent of the institutions considered the impact of performance funding to be beneficial. The most favorable reactions were related to availability of improved institution-specific information from surveys, faculty involvement in test development, and the impetus to use the data in planning for improvement. The most negative reactions were related to the weight given to exam performance and the use of accreditation as an indicator of program quality. Includes 6 references. (DB) | ||
