Assessment and evaluation of learning plan

Introduction

Assessment of the learning outcomes simply demands the teachers to perform evaluation of learners understanding in light of the goals of the lesson or the course. Assessment of the learning outcome is quite vital since it helps to identify if truly, the students or even employees at the workplace understand what has been taught and in case of students, it improves the educational process. As far as learning outcomes are concerned, the student or learners are expected to demonstrate what he or she have learned either through writing or practical part. Moreover, the learning outcomes requires one a student to articulate what he or she knows or perform after the completion of the course. At this juncture, the program focuses on assessing the admission that takes place in Strayer university and the main aim ensuring there is increase retention rate as well as guarantee quality among student. Assessment goes beyond identification of learning goals since it also deals with selecting the appropriate assessment measures and analyzing the results of the outcome. Therefore, the course projection of student admission at Strayer University will be measured through conducting an interview to identify what they know and the respondent given during the interview is very fundamental since they help to analyze the results that would indicate for sure the student understood the information provided or not.

Learning Goals

Learning goals are significant in every project and its upon those teaching or the supervisor to set up clear learning goals and it is recommended for students to know what is expected of them. Therefore, the students demonstrate the learning goals through successful completion of the course or the program. In this case, the learning goals are based on the admission of students. one of the learning goals in this case is the ability of the students to point out the laws and regulations or the policies laid down to help students to not only associate with others effectively but also carry out their as expected. Additionally, during the admission in the schools, the students are interested in knowing the different departments, their functions as well as school how operates and school expectations from the students (Suskie, 2018). Learning goals are important because the students keep focus on the benefits of the syllabus. In this scenario, the students are expected to state the policies that guide their relationship with teachers, fellow students and other staff in the school. Therefore, during admission, the students are expected to learn about the policies of the school, identify the mission of the school, its motto and its unique culture. It is upon the involved team to ensure that those who are admitted in the university are able to establish access different services with ease and get into system just like other students. For the learners to adopt or identify what is expected of them, they are provided with plenty of information as well as introduced to the basic information that helps them move around, access services for survival purposes before they fully get into the system. The admission happens in stages and students are introduced to several aspects during the first week of the admission.

“Assessment Instruments,” present the types of assessment instruments (the means of measuring the outcomes of the assessment) that the students or trainees will complete

Apart from establishing the learning outcome, the teacher goes proceeds to the next level and the next process in this case, is the application of assessment instruments. Therefore, after establishing the goals, the trainee or teacher fraternity takes the next step of establishing if their goal was realized or attained. To identify if the goal or the main aim has been fulfilled or attained, it requires the teachers or the trainees carry out specific activities for the test. In this case, the teachers applies an assessment instruments that tests the students ability to attain the intended goal or the objective. Assessment instrument simply means the instrument or the tool utilized to elicit information and help one to identify the students have fulfilled the intended goal. During the process of admission at the Strayer University, the most applicable assessment instrument is the application of interview. Therefore, interview process is carried out between the learners and the trainee. In the process of interview, the trainee provide specific questions that are aligned to the learning goals (Banta et al. 2015). The students on the other hand, provide their response based on what they have gone through during admission period. interview as the assessment instrument seems to be the most viable form of assessment tool since it provides an opportunity for the trainee as well as the students interact and able to engage more. Additionally, the trainee acquires primary information from the respondent and thus minimizing any form of error.

Rationale for Assessment Instruments

At this point, the main question one ask himself is the set of reasons for relying on interview as the assessment instrument. Effective application interview as the assessment instrument is quite useful since it provides an opportunity for both parties to interact face-to-face, which is necessary for future purposes. Additionally, interview is the most viable instrument since the interviewer is able to establish the other person personal feelings, identify if they are psychologically affected due to culture shock. Moreover, the interviewer gets the chance of correcting any concept that was probably misunderstood and is sensitive in case the student fails to get the intended purpose. Policies of the university for instance, need to be understood and applied at all time to promote good relationship with the rest. Interview are also less costly and the interview will access sufficient information. The interview or the trainee gets the chance of asking the client to name a few policies that they are expected to abide. Identification of these policies is part of the learning goals (Suskie, 2019). Furthermore, interview application as the assessment instrument turn to be essential as far as learning goals are concerned since it helps the learner identify what some of the factors or issues they still need to know in order to carry out their learning activities smoothly as they establish their main goal in school as well. Interview does not only provide an opportunity for gathering data but also help the involved party have the opportunity to share ideas that could improve the operation of the institution. For instance, the interview would inquire from the learner, how different the environment is compared to where they come from.

Setting Standards

After establishing the learning goals and using the most effective assessment instrument, the setting standard is vital since it helps in developing the requirement that should be fulfilled when interpreting the results of the assessment. Thus, the following concepts should be applied when evaluating the results obtained. One of the issue is that the interview process was not formal but rather an informal one, which promoted good relationship between the interviewer and the students and therefore, it, was a platform for trainee to also rectify some issues, which could really affect the student if the issue is not addressed instantly. Additionally, the assessment instrument applied face-to-face interaction with the students and as a result, the trainees only took a sample and interviewed them. However, the selecting team ensured every faculty is represented. Additionally, the results in terms of policies could differ in terms of faculty since some faculties require students to adhere to specific policies, which could differ from the rest. Additionally, participation in the interview process is voluntary and students are not influenced in anyway while answering the questions. The results obtained from the interview may not be shared with the rest since the main intention of the interview was to establish if the students have identified or aware about how relate with others and avoid issues that could affect the running of the institution.

Rationale for Setting Standards

Setting of these standards is influenced by the aim of accessing transparency results and the understanding that the learning goals at this point are significant and could differ depending on the faculties in the university. These standards main intention is to help the parties involved develop a friendly environment solve the real issues affecting human interactions.
