| Abstract | Assessment of student learning is an increasingly important trend in higher education. While faculty interest in assessment as a means of improving the educational process is important, to a considerable extent, the increased emphasis is the result of more stringent standards being imposed by accreditation agencies in an attempt to require educational institutions to better define specific student learning outcomes, demonstrate student learning, and use the results obtained in a cycle of continuing educational improvement. This paper proposes a model for assessing student learning in courses throughout the entire economics curriculum. This model is much more broad-based than assessment of student learning in the principles courses alone. The model proposed is sufficiently flexible so that it can be used, with perhaps only minor adjustments, by many economics departments as these departments work to implement a program of assessment as part of a culture of continuous improvement. |
