He is still posts regularly on POD and I enjoy his posts there. He promotes a better level of assessment of our outcomes. I think it's right on but as part of the assessment team at my university, I know that it's a 10-letter dirty word. However, I believe the potential for improvement is tremendous and we as psychologists should be in the forefront of the movement, and not willingly and avidly placing it in the hands of the education and ed-psych people. We will have no one to complain to but ourselves. Hi All, There are a number of good resources related to assessment within psychology.�� For example, Dunn, D. S., Mehrotra, C. M., & Halonen, J. S. (Eds.). (2004). Measuring up: Educational assessment challenges and practices for psychology. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Dunn, D. S., McCarthy, M. A., Baker, S., Halonen, J. S., & Hill, G. W. (2007). Quality benchmarks in undergraduate psychology programs. American Psychologist, 62, 650-670. Halonen, J. S., Appleby, D. C., Brewer, C. L., Buskist, W., Gillem, A. R., Halpern, D. F., et al. (APA Task Force on Undergraduate Major Competencies). (2002). Undergraduate psychology major learning goals and outcomes: A report. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.�� http://www.apa.org/ed/pcue/reports.html Halonen, J. S., Appleby, D. C., Brewer, C. L., Buskist, W., Gillem, A. R., Halpern, D. F., et al. (APA Task Force on Undergraduate Major Competencies). (2002). Assessment CyberGuide for learning goals & outcomes in the undergraduate psychology major. http://www.apa.org/ed/guidehomepage.html Halonen, J. S., Bosack, T., Clay, S., & McCarthy, M. (In collaboration with D. S. Dunn, G. W. Hill IV, R. McEntarffer, C.Mehrotra, R.Nesmith, K. A.Weaver, & K.Whitlock). (2003). A rubric for learning, teaching, and assessing scientific inquiry in psychology. Teaching of Psychology, 30, 196���208. Halpern, D. F. (Ed.). (2009). Undergraduate education in psychology: A blueprint for the future of the discipline. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Of course, the reference lists for each of the above provides a fountain of information. Also, each of the books in the Teaching Psychological Science Series (Wiley-Blackwell) has information related to assessment that is course specific - http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-324324.html Best wishes, Linda --
