2011 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference Track Summaries: Track: Program Assessment

In: PS: political science & politics, Band 44, Heft 3, S. 663-664

Abstract

Assessment, particularly program assessment, has reached a new height
in the APSA with the publication of an edited volume,
Assessment in Political Science (2008),
followed by the appointment in 2010 of an association-wide working
group on assessment. This task force has been asked to investigate
current practices in program assessment and make recommendations
regarding the role that the APSA should play to help departments and
faculty conduct assessment better. Track participants were
encouraged to think about how the issues they raised could help
guide the APSA's overall approach to assessment.
