This document, prepared for the Teagle Foundation, summarizes 27 assessment instruments and initiatives, including student assessments, surveys, and other items. For each instrument or initiative, this table indicates
- The administrator of the instrument
- The individuals assessed or surveyed and the rational for its use
- The types of variables included in the instrument
- Practical issues such as cost
- Contact information
We’d recommend the section on indicators because it is particularly useful in assessing liberal arts outcomes, like lifelong learning and critical thinking. It summarizes the types of variables on which the instruments gather data and you can quickly locate the corresponding instruments.
