 \nWednesday,August 13,1986  \n# STUDENT ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION HERE TO STAY,EXPERTS SAY\n\nStudent assessment at colleges and universities is likely to become anincreasingly prominent part of the policy landscape,and higher educationinstitutions can either lead the way in its development or be forced intoaction by state legislatures.  \nThat is the general prognosis of 10 education policy analysts on the future ofstudent assessment in a new report by the Education Department,a result of anational conference ED sponsored on the subject after releasing \"Involvement inLearning:Realizing the Potential of American Higher Education”last year.  \n\"There is wide agreement that the quality of undergraduate liberal arts edu-cation at a number of colleges and universities is not what it should be,\"Education Secretary William Bennett says in the report's foreword.  \nGauging SuccessColleges\"must do a more conscientious job of statingtheir goals,of gauging their own success in relation to those goals,and ofmaking their results available to everyone--students,prospective students,parents,citizens and taxpayers,\"Bennett writes.  \nDriving the perceived need for new testing procedures are reports that manystudents do not have the knowledge,skills or sense of civic responsibilityexpected of them upon graduation and that many faculty believe students are nolonger interested in learning,according to some of the report's contributors.  \nState legislators in many cases are translating the concern into law,and theyare not likely to stop until student academic performance improves,they add.  \n\"Assessment is not likely to be a fad.\"writes Terry Hartle,afellow at the American Enterprise Institute,in one of the papers contained inthe report.  \n\"State governments,once the whipping posts of American politics,are morecompetent and professional than ever before.The capacity to ask tough ques-tions and the willingness to act means colleges and universities can soonexpect the same sort of attention that has been given the public schools,\"writes Hartle.  \nAn education system that \"neither predisposes nor prepares students\"forassessments 18“condemning them to a life outside the economic mainstream ofvirtually every nation on earth,\"according to Clifford Adelman,a seniorassociate in ED's research office,who wrote the report's conclusion.(more)  \n(  \n6  \nAugust 13,1986  \n# STUDENT ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION HERE TO STAY(Cont.)\n\nMost of the demand for accountability will focus on public two-and four-yearinstitutions,Hartle says,since they enroll most of the nation's students andbecause many state legislatures regard such schools as\"directionless andmediocre.\"  \nCosts to implement assessment procedures range from $29,000 a year at a privateliberal arts college to more than $130,000 at a major public university,ac-cording to Peter Ewell of the National Center for Higher Education Managementand Dennis Jones of National Center for Higher Education Management Systems.  \nDespite pressure from state legislatures to begin testing students,some ofthose contributing to the volume urge colleges and universities to proceedcautiously in developing assessment procedures to make certain the tests arenot racially biased and that they result in improved instruction.  \nWhile some fear that assessments will lead to faculty teaching only what isneeded to pass the tests,Bennett writes that institutions can avoid such apitfall by first defining their goals and then developing assessment proceduresaround them。  \n\"If assessment is done right,if it is done with care,it is nothing more thana means to measure whether students are learning what the college says theyshould learn,\"he writes.  \nCopies of the report,\"Assessment in Higher Education:Issues and Contexts,\"are $4.50 from the Superintendent of Documents,U.s.Government PrintingOffice,Washington,D.C.20402.Cite
