Post Graduation Assessment Of Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The objective of this work is to suggest a process for improving the assessment of educational outcomes in universities.  Improved accountability and assessment has become an important direction in academic institutional research, but the underlying question –how best to accomplish this goal is an open question.  A framework is first described which promotes the categorization of academic assessment.  Based on this framework, a preliminary instrument was developed and piloted.  The results of this study are reported and plans for future efforts are described.
