Assessing Global Learning: Measurement, Implications, and Applications
Wednesday, October 28, 2015
Psychology Building, Rm. #407
3:00 – 4:30 pm
Sponsored by the TU Study Abroad Office. Light refreshments will be served.
Join fellow faculty members and international education professionals in an engaging conversation on global learning. NAFSA Faculty Conversations are designed for faculty members, academic leaders, researchers, and international educators interested in student learning outcomes and the educational experiences—curricular and co-curricular—created to help students gain and practice global knowledge, skills, and perspectives.
Global learning is an essential component of education today. Whether through study abroad, service learning, or classroom-based curriculum, the critical analysis of and engagement with complex, interdependent global systems is a crucial component of the educational experience. Experts will discuss both formative and summative methods of assessing global learning that promote student success.
Throughout the conversation, presenters and participants will:
- Explore why and how to engage in the assessment of global learning.
- Discuss what assessment results can actually tell us about a range of learning processes and outcomes (e.g., student achievement, programmatic success, areas for improvement).
- Provide concrete examples of how to “do” assessment in the real world, in a way that is accessible, substantive, and meaningful.
