- Summary:
-
A glossary providing a common set of definitions for thinking and talking about assessment policy in undergraduate education is presented. Terms with more general meaning are defined only in this specific context. This glossary was developed as part of a series of Education Commission of the States case studies of state-based approaches to assessment in undergraduate education. The glossary defines terms falling under the following three general categories: (1) implementation of assessment programs (i.e. assessment plan, basic skills, college outcomes assessment, exit examinations, retention, general intellectual skills, unit record system, and value-added); (2) applications of assessment to decision making (i.e. accountability, certification, consumer protection, gatekeeping, mandatory placement, performance funding, rising junior examination, and student tracking); and (3) measurement terms relevant to assessment policy (i.e. forced-choice, free-response, indicator, norm-referenced testing, peer comparison, reliability, standardized testing, sub-score, testing, and validity). Contains 14 references. (SM)
