摘要

主要是为了满足外部需求而进行的评估可能会忽略确保结果改进的基本步骤。改进的最重要的步骤是确定课程或项目的优点和缺点，然后制定行动计划来弥补缺点。本文展示了两个持续评估的例子，重点是改进，从而在课程和项目级别上获得学生学习成果。这种方法的结果是，在入门入门课程中，D、F或退学率下降了近20%，在项目水平上，学生在项目结束评估(主要的现场测试)中的全国百分位数分数有所提高。关键词:持续改进，课程评估，项目评估，持续评估

Using Sustained Assessment Practices for Improving Student Learning Outcomes At Course and Program Levels

abstract:Assessments that are conducted to primarily satisfy external requirements may overlook essential steps that ensure improvement in outcomes. The most vital steps for improvement are identifying strengths and weaknesses of the course or program, followed by an action plan to remedy the weaknesses. This article showcases two examples of sustained assessments with a focus on improvement that resulted in gains in student learning outcomes at course and program levels. As a result of this approach, the D, F, or Withdraw rate decreased by almost 20% in an introductory gateway course, and at the program level students' national percentile scores on an end-of-program assessment, the major field test, improved. Keywords: continuous improvement, course assessment, program assessment, sustained assessment
