Strand: Survey, Experience Sampling, Performance Assessment

This strand includes survey instruments with items on educational attitudes, behavior and experiences (including social networks, extracurricular activities and on-campus support services). Experiential sampling methods will also be employed to identify student experiences, attitudes and dispositions in more authentic everyday contexts. In addition, we intend to implement standardized performance assessments (such as the Critical Thinking Assessment or the Collegiate Learning Assessment) to model generic learning gains and to identify the extent to which new forms of authentic assessment collected from Learning Management Systems can effectively capture this variation.

Leads:  Richard Arum and Jacquelynne Eccles
