Carter 􀀍  \nStudent learning outcomes assessment examines whether programs cover the material stated in their learning goals, whether students are learning the material, and the impact on student retention, graduation, post-graduation outcomes, and institutional accreditation, with the aim of providing faculty with data that can be used to help programs evolve or improve. While there is a plethora of research regarding effective methods of assessment used in the United States, little has been written regarding cross-national comparisons of assessment methodologies. This paper examines the current state of assessment in several nations and regions, and draws parallels in practices across countries. A literature search using the term \"outcomes assessment \"yielded 228 articles, of which, only 35 described practices outside the United States. Generally, searches on the terms \"outcomes assessment \" and \"global \" tend to return studies of outcomes assessment of teaching about global issues as it is practiced in the United States, rather than results about outcomes assessment practices used in other countries.  \nKeywords: college education, global education, outcomes assessment  \nIntroduction  \nStudent learning outcomes assessment is conducted by colleges and universities at the undergraduate and graduate level levels for academic departments to determine whether programs cover the material stated in their learning goals, whether students are learning the material, and the impact on student retention, graduation, post-graduation outcomes, and institutional accreditation, with the aim of providing faculty with data that can be used to help programs evolve or improve (Hutchings, 2011) . The assessments do not include course grades; rather, they include measures such as standardized tests or student coursework being rated outside the course by teams of faculty members.  \nThe United States ’ (US) educational system is divided into three levels (a) grade school, also known as primary school (i.e. , kindergarten through grade 8); (b) high school, also known as secondary school (i.e., grades 9 through 12);(c) college, also known as post-secondary school (i.e., associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral) .  \nIn 1988, the US federal government, via the US Department of Education (DOED), began advocating for post-secondary student learning outcomes assessment by requiring regional accreditation institutions to gather information regarding learning objectives and assessment results from colleges  \n􀀍 Professor, Rhode Island College, USA.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.2-3-1](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.2-3-1) doi=10.30958/aje.2-3-1  \nand universities (Carter, 2009; US Department of Education, 2007) . Federal law also began requiring assessment at the primary and secondary levels (i.e., No Child Left Behind Act), which also prompted post-secondary institutions to increase their outcomes assessment practices, also (Hickok, 2009; Smith, Szelest & Downey, 2004) .  \nThe US system of outcomes assessment is flexible. The DOED standards that permit regional accreditation institutions to require post-secondary institutions to address outcomes assessment also permit institutions to set their own assessment standards and methods. The DOED standards permit universities’ \"developing and using institutional standards to show [their] success with respect to student achievement, which achievement may be considered as part of any accreditation re-view\" (US Congress, 2009, section 602.16,[f],[2]), p. 55418) .  \nDue to the increased federal assessment requirements in the United States, there is an increasing amount of research regarding effective methods of postsecondary outcomes assessment in the United States, but little has been written regarding cross-national comparisons of assessment methodologies.
