西雅图太平洋神学院每年评估教育成效的步骤如下:
1. 神学院 (SOT) faculty adopt Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for SPS curriculum as a whole; determine curriculum for each degree; assign relevant SLOs to each course; include the SLOs in the course syllabus; choose assignments to measure the SLOs; and approve and implement curricular revisions and instructional improvements as needed.
2. Students submit graded work and course evaluations. Graduating students undergo exit interview; results aggregated and submitted to Dean of SOT and the Graduate Curriculum Committee (GCC).
3. Instructors grade student work; select sample artifacts of student work for assessment. SOT faculty and Seminary 咨询委员会 (SAB) assess artifacts from courses; Dean and GCC propose curriculum revisions and instructional improvements; report to SOT faculty.
SOT教师决定每个学位课程的学习成果和目标, establish a suitable curriculum for that program, and set the learning outcomes for each course in that curriculum. 每门课程的教师选择的作业既适合该课程的主题,也适合为它设定的学习成果, and establishes suitable grading rubrics for each assignment. Once the course has been completed, 教师根据在线课程评价和其他反馈对课程进行必要的修改, 并提交样本分级工件,以供随后对整个课程进行评估. The SOT and SAB review the sample artifacts from all Seminary courses, 汇总数据, 评估每个学位课程的学生在多大程度上达到了该课程设定的学习成果, and propose curriculum revisions and instructional improvements as necessary. These proposals are reviewed by the GCC, which regularly assesses the educational effectiveness of each degree program, reviews proposals for curricular revisions and instructional improvements, operationalizes the needed changes, 并监控进度. 除了 to assessment of student work, SOT通过ATS ESQ收集的学生意见来衡量有效性, GSQ, and our own Exit Interview process.
