| Summary: | This report describes a project undertaken at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) between January 1, 1982 and March 31, 1984, which was designed to increase the use in program assessment and in program improvement of information derived from measures of: (1) student achievement in general education; (2) student achievement in the major field; and (3) student opinions concerning the quality of academic programs and services. After a brief program description, the origins of the UTK project are examined, including proposal development, the student outcome data available, and goals of the campus project. Project operations are then reported including the following topics: project structure and organization; project activities; campus involvement strategies; data presentation strategies; and project continuation. Project impact included: changes in curriculum and instruction (e.g., participation in one or more evaluative procedures was made mandatory for students); changes in student services (e.g., improved advising services); and changes in institutional planning and evaluation activities (e.g., increased use of student outcome information in major field program evaluation). The major portion of the document consists of 12 appendixes which provide details of the program's activities and findings. (DB) |
