Direct vs. Indirect Measures in Program Assessment
Steven Davidson
Assistant Dean of Strategic Initiatives & Student Learning, SMG
Deborah Marlino
Associate Dean of Academic Programs & Student Affairs, SMG
Measuring student learning is an essential step in the assessment process. In this session, we will explore how faculty can use both direct and indirect measure to assess student performance against program learning goals. Through the perspective of recent efforts at two institutions, we will explore how direct and indirect measurements can be identified, the role direct measurements play, and why there is value in using both.
