An Example: Communication Skills Associate Level: The student presents substantially error-free

An Example: Communication Skills

Associate Level: The student presents substantially error-free prose

in both argumentative and narrative forms to general and specialized audiences
Bachelor’s Level: The student constructs sustained, coherent arguments and/or narratives and/or explications of technical issues and processes, in two media, to general and specialized audiences
Master’s Level: The student creates sustained, coherent arguments or explanations and reflections on his or her work or that of collaborators (if applicable) in two or more media or languages, to both general and specialized audiences

An Example: Engaging Diverse Perspectives

Associate Level: Describes how different cultural perspectives

would affect his or her interpretations of prominent problems in politics, society, the arts, and/or global relations
Bachelor’s Level: Constructs a cultural, political, or technological alternative vision of either the natural or human world, embodied in a written project, laboratory report, exhibit, performance, or community service design; defines the distinct patterns in this alternative vision; and explains how they differ from current realities
Master’s Level: Addresses a core issue in his/her field of study from the perspective of either a different point in time, or a different culture, political order, or technological context, and explains how the alternative perspective contributes to results that depart from current norms, dominant cultural assumptions, or technologies—all demonstrated through a project, paper, or performance

Indiana QC Focus

How can we ensure that students transferring from

Ivy Tech Central Indiana to IUPUI continue to succeed?
Can we use the DQP to guide discussions of curricular alignment connected to the Statewide Transferable Core?
Can we use DQP associate-level competencies to develop shared assessment rubrics in Writing and in Engineering?
Слайд 35

Our Approach Gather instructors from both institutions for professional development workshops

Our Approach

Gather instructors from both institutions for professional development workshops

– either in-person or through videoconferencing
Limiting focus to Writing (including Composition and Technical Communication) and Pre-Engineering/Engineering makes project more manageable
Project also serves as vehicle for keeping faculty connected to state-wide work on general education
Слайд 36

Dynamic Criteria Mapping (DCM) Process used to foster ‘organic assessment’ among

Dynamic Criteria Mapping (DCM)

Process used to foster ‘organic assessment’ among

faculty
Creates normative criteria by building them inductively and collaboratively from review of student artifacts
Following review of artifacts, faculty nominate characteristics that they value in student work
Values can then be mapped back to DQP to create common assessment rubrics
Writing Faculty – day-long workshop in July ’12
Engineering Faculty – will repeat process (using pre-engineering project artifacts) this spring

Challenges

Faculty teaching a single course/courses have difficulty shifting from

‘what I do’ to ‘what we do’ – particularly part-time faculty
Different levels of support for professional development and different teaching loads at 2-year and 4-year institutions
While some ‘faculty champions’ have emerged, some are deeply concerned about resources that transfer portfolios will demand
Слайд 38

Next Steps Develop a transfer student portfolio that can store direct

Next Steps

Develop a transfer student portfolio that can store direct

evidence of student learning/mastery of associate-level competencies
Continue faculty development efforts, particularly in support of creation of General Education Core at IUPUI

What We’re Learning Across Projects

DQP is a conversation starter: offers

a common vocabulary for talking about outcomes
Curricular mapping: Where are students mastering these competencies? Where are the gaps?
Certify transfers, align and “streamline” systems
Faculty engagement and ownership are essential, which take time
Doing assessment right is a continuing, perennial challenge.

Faculty must drive assessment Identify which competencies described in the DQP

Faculty must drive assessment
Identify which competencies described in the DQP they

address in their courses/ labs/studios
Identify which competencies are major objectives (probably only a few)
Map those competencies to the existing relevant assignments
Tweak existing or create new assignments/ student work to elicit the appropriate student behavior
