Program Outcomes Assessment (POA) Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are clear statements about what students will have gained competency in when they complete instruction in a course or how they demonstrate learning that has developed across courses in the program. SLOs should be described using action language like that which is found in the framework of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

 

 

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) should:

• Use active verbs to clearly state what STUDENTS will know and/or understand and be able to do with that knowledge or understanding when they complete their program (credit: University of Nebraska-Lincoln PEARL).
• Align with the mission and goals of the department, college, and institution.
• Be meaningful and manageable (credit: Bresciani).
• Communicate clearly with a variety of audiences the learning that is expected of students participating in the program.

 

OSU Assessment recommends that each academic program assess a minimum of three SLOs that address the knowledge, skills, and disposition that students will gain through their experience in the program.

• Knowledge – Includes the content specific information that students will learn throughout their course work (e.g., core content, application of knowledge, pedagogy)
• Skills – Includes the abilities that students will have as a result of their time in the program (e.g., critical thinking, communication, research)
• Disposition – Includes the social skills and interpersonal abilities that students will possess to continue on in their field or workforce after they complete their degree (e.g., leadership, career readiness, ethics)

 

Below are the current SLOs being assessed for each of OSU’s academic programs. For more information on SLOs and program outcomes assessment, please contact our team at assessment@okstate.edu.

  • Student Satisfaction - The Exit Interview Survey attempts to measure basic knowledge that students have gained in traditional areas of study. It has traditionally been a chance for the students to grade the department, the faculty, staff and other components of the university environment. While this is a useful exercise in an effort to determine where we might make improvements in our approaches to instruction, it is not directly connected to any legitimate student learning outcomes. Based on a discussion with the Director of University Assessment and Testing, we have suspended reporting on these interviews. We will consider revision of this tool unless we can achieve a connection to student learning outcomes.
