Introduction to Assessment of Student Outcomes

Student Outcomes Assessment is an evaluation process where the program faculty review the published program outcomes and determine the success with which students have achieved those outcomes. Student outcomes assessments normally result in recommendations by the faculty for improvements related to program content or delivery. Plans for assessing student learning outcomes are prepared by program faculty and approved by their college. Active plans and outcomes assessment reports are filed yearly with the Office of Academic Affairs.

Assessment of educational effectiveness is increasingly recognized nationally as an essential component for all of higher education. In addition to its centrality to our goal of becoming a true learning organization, assessment of outcomes is also required by our accrediting commission, Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, as well as the University of Alaska, Board of Regents. The assessment of educational effectiveness and outcomes must be a part of every course [program] of study if we are to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, satisfy the requirements of our institutional and program accreditation, and be accountable to ourselves that we are providing the highest quality educational programs possible.

Each academic program at UAA is to engage in a continuous improvement process. This process is to be formalized and repeated on a regular cycle and must include the essential elements of:

1. Setting program outcomes2. Selecting indicators that can be used to measure progress toward achieving those outcomes3. Gathering and analyzing data to determine achievement4. Recommending and implementing program changes that facilitate further progress in achieving

the desired outcomes.

A framework that reflects well established and validated practices has been adopted for the continuous improvement of each academic and administrative unit of the University of Alaska Anchorage. It has been assigned the acronym PAAR; which stands for Plan, Act, Access, and Revise.

This assessment plan document reflects the PAAR outline for the A.A.S. in Occupational Safety & Health degree program at the University of Alaska – Kenai Peninsula College.


Introduction to the Occupational Safety & Health Program

Occupational Safety and Health Mission Statement

The Occupational Safety and Health program is committed to excellence in academic, vocational and life-long learning. The program’s mission is to graduate safety professionals who possess entry level knowledge and skills in the safety field. The Occupational Safety and Health program is committed to reducing the injury and fatality rates in the State of Alaska.

Occupational Safety & Health Program

The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) program prepares students for employment as a safety professional in a variety of government agencies and industries. Some of these industries include construction, petroleum, mining, and tourism. The safety profession is a growing field with a wide range of opportunities for employment. This program provides a thorough background in OSH, preparing graduates for entry-level positions. The degree is a 61-credit Associate of Applied Science degree. Students experience a wide variety of course work in the safety field including hazardous materials training, compliance recordkeeping, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, injury prevention, epidemiology, OSHA standards, and safety program management and development.

The state of Alaska has some of the highest injuries and fatality rates in the country. It is believed that an increase in safety professionals in the state can help reduce this unfortunate situation. With proliferation of major projects facing the state, the need for safety professionals at all levels from technicians to managers in is going to continue to expand. High paying jobs in the safety profession occur throughout the state in various types of industries.

Through coordination with the CTC BST (Bachelor of Science and Technology), students completing an OSH AAS may continue to complete the BST, with a focus on OSH.


Assessment Data Collection Mechanism:

Memo to accompany “KPC Student Learning Outcome Assessment: Data Collection Sheet” (Sample)

To: KPC Faculty Teaching Courses in the ______________________________ProgramFrom : Paula J.S. Martin, Assistant Director for Academic AffairsDate: ________________Re: Assessment

You are teaching one or more courses that serve the ___________________________degree (or certificate) program. All KPC programs go through assessment of student learning outcomes, annually; therefore, we need faculty to collect assessment data for your class/classes that support the __________________________ degree (or certificate) program.

See the attached for directions, but the process is summarized below:

1. Read the student learning outcome listed on the attached sheet.2. Decide which one class assignment (exam, paper, journal, homework, project, etc.) best

addresses that learning outcome for your course. You can include more than one assignment, but you don’t need to.

3. Provide the data:a. Copy of the assignmentb. Scoring rubric or examples of good, marginal, and unsuccessful assignmentc. List of student scores on that assignment (and identifying what score=success)


Sample Assessment Data Collection Cover Sheets


Student Learning Outcomes: A.A.S. Occupational Safety & Health Program

The specific student learning outcomes of the OSH program are to produce graduates who are able to:

1. Define the roles and responsibilities of safety professionals, safety regulations and their applications.

2. Develop safety management system programs, evaluate their effectiveness, and describe methods of implementation.

3. Identify and analyze workplace injuries, incidents and hazards and provide methods of correction.

4. Identify and analyze needs and methods for safety training and develop safety presentations.


Assessment Tools

A description of the tools used in the assessment of the program objectives and their implementation are summarized in Table 2. The tools and their relationships to the program student learning outcomes are listed in Table 1.

There is a separate appendix for each tool that shows the tool itself and describes its use and the factors that affect the results.

Table 1 Association of Assessment Measures to Program Outcomes

This table organizes student learning outcomes with the tools that are used to measure them. Each tool contributes information on the students’ achievement of a different set of outcomes. This table also forms the basis of the template for reporting and analyzing the combined data gathered from these tools. Note that each tool may not be used each academic year.

Students who complete the A.A.S. in Occupational Safety & Health will be able to:

General administrative process : Assessment data collection sheets printed from access database by assessment coordinator or director for academic affairs and then course and faculty data entered by faculty secretaries, and given to program faculty. Faculty provide assignment detail, rubrics, grading, and work samples and assessment coordinator or director for academic affairs for collation and initial report compilation.


Assessment Implementation & Analysis for Program Improvement

General Implementation Strategy

Kenai Peninsula College has appointed an Assessment Coordinator who works with staff and faculty and the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs to collect the data indicated in Tables 1 and 2. Data is collected by the end of each Spring semester. The coordinator then spends approximately six weeks writing the annual assessment reports for each KPC program. Those reports are reviewed by the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs when she returns in early July. The reports and any updated plans are sent to the UAA Office of Academic Affairs by July 15. The program faculty review the reports and, as needed, update plans, in late August and September each year.

The assessment tools may be used in total, or a sufficient number may be selected to accurately assess any given objective or outcome.

Method of Data Analysis and Formulation of Recommendations for Program Improvement

The program faculty meet at least once a year to review the assessment report created with the assessment tools. This meeting should result in recommendations for program changes that are designed to enhance performance relative to the program’s student learning outcomes. The results of the data collection, an interpretation of the results, and the recommended programmatic changes are included in the report (and, if applicable, plan) for the following year. A plan for implementing the recommended changes, including of advertising the changes to all the program’s stakeholders, is also to be completed at this meeting.

The programmatic changes may be any action or change in policy that the faculty deems as being necessary to improve performance relative to programs’ outcomes. Recommended changes should also consider workload (faculty, staff, and students), budgetary, facilities, and other relevant constraints. A few examples of changes made by programs at UAA include:

o changes in course content, assignments, sequencing, prerequisites, delivery methods, etc.o changes in faculty/staff assignmentso changes in advising methods and requirementso addition and/or replacement of equipmento changes to facilities

Modification of the Assessment Plan

The faculty, after reviewing the collected data, processes used to collect it, and final report, may decide to alter the assessment plan. Changes may be made to any component of the plan, including the objectives, outcomes, assessment tools, or any other aspect of the plan. The changes are to be approved by the faculty of the program. The modified assessment plan is to be forwarded to the KPC Assistant Director for Academic Affairs and ultimately to the UAA Office of Academic Affairs.


Appendix A: Research Papers, Class Assignments, Projects and Exam Samples

Tool Description:

Various assignments and exams are designed to assess student learning for specific program outcomes. These assignments, projects or exams will be used to evaluate student learning in various courses offered throughout the OSH and related courses and programs. This instrument is designed to measure how well the course objectives have been met during the semester. Aggregate class scores of various assignments and exams may also be used for data collection and analysis.

Factors that affect the collected data:

Each OSH course aligns to course and program outcomes. Some OSH courses will also overlap in minor ways to other OSH program outcomes. Specific course assignment and exam results will reflect student learning in one or more program outcomes. With changes to instructors and assignment choices, collected data may change however the data should be an accurate reflection of student learning in these subject areas with the exception of students who may drop, change to audit, or not complete projects for various reasons.

How to interpret the data:

Faculty will report, summarization, and/or submit a sampling of evaluated assignments, projects, or exams for courses selected during a given assessment cycle. Data may be summarized by item, objective, class average, etc., as the faculty determines the usefulness of such data to the continual improvement process.

Samples:

The following pages are samples of class assignments and exams. Each is identified by course designation and at least one related program outcome.

Final Project

Workplace Monitoring: Instrumentation and Calibration







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are the newly hired health and safety manager for DDB Oilfield Services Company that has approximately 150 hourly employees in the operations and maintenance department. The company operates a fabrication shop with 50 employees where various forms of welding are performed including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. Welding is performed on various types of metal including mild (carbon) steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The fabrication shop is responsible for fabricating miscellaneous metal objects (i.e., cylinder storage racks, pipe supports, etc.) and pipe spools as required by the oilfield operator.

One of your first tasks is to monitor workplace conditions in the fabrication shop due to employee complaints. You have completed a walkthrough survey and decided to perform air and noise monitoring to further evaluate potential employee exposures. Air monitoring will be performed to evaluate employee exposures to welding fumes (as total particulates) for stick and TIG welding activities during the fabrication of 6-inch pipe spools of various configurations. The pipe used in the process is heavy wall pipe made of mild steel. During fabrication, sections of pipe are welded together to form the spools according to the engineer’s drawings. Noise sources include the intermittent operation of grinders and other miscellaneous power tools in the shop area.

The fabrication shop is a single-story building that is approximately 250 feet long, 150 feet wide, and has 16-foot ceilings. There are two exhaust fans located in the ceiling to provide general exhaust ventilation. The rated exhaust capacity of each fan is 5,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM). The fans are not operated continuously due to cold outside temperatures and lack of adequate heating capacity for make-up air systems. During the warmer months of the year, overhead doors on each end of the shop may be opened to provide additional ventilation through the shop.

The fabrication shop employees work 12 hours a day, seven days a week for two weeks, after which the employee is off for two weeks. Job classifications for the fabrication shop include the following:

o Welder (20 each): performs welding activities


o Welder helper (20 each): assists welder by grinding and prepping surfaces for weldingo Pipefitter (10 each): ensures pipe alignment and proper configuration of pipe pieces prior to

welding

Your final project will consist of two parts. The first part will include the development of a monitoring plan for the conditions described above. Your monitoring plan shall include the following sections:

Introduction o Describe the intent of the monitoring plan (i.e., what is your purpose and objectives of

the workplace monitoring activities).o Briefly describe work activities that are targeted for monitoring.

Description of monitoring techniques o Include methods, media, and sampling equipment to be used for air sampling.o Types of instruments to be used for noise monitoring.

Description of sampling procedures and employees to be sampled o Include description of air sampling approach, i.e., full shift sampling, partial shift

sampling, personal sampling, area sampling, etc. o Include description of how many samples will be collected to adequately characterize

employee exposures (i.e., number of samples per day for how many days).o Include description of monitoring approach for noise monitoring activities with the

same considerations listed above for air sampling.o Include description of recordkeeping or monitoring data that will be recorded during the

sampling activities (i.e., logbook entries, equipment checks during sampling, standard data forms, etc.)

Identification of laboratory to be used for analysis of your samples. Choose an AIHA accredited laboratory by searching the list of accredited labs found at www.aiha.org.

The second part of the project will include the preparation of a report outlining the findings of your monitoring efforts. You will be supplied with air and noise monitoring data results for the samples collected, and you will be required to calculate time-weighted average concentrations and interpret the results of your data. The report shall include the following sections:

Overview/Executive Summaryo Where, when, and by whom was sampling conducted?o What was sampled and analyzed?o Which personnel and areas were sampled?o Summary of operations/processes.o Summary of results relative to applicable exposure limits.

Materials and Methodso Instruments and media used for calibration, sampling, and analysis.o Calibrated flow rates for both pre- and post-sampling or the calibration results of noise

monitoring equipment.o Cited methods used for the collection of air samples.o Identification of laboratory used to analyze samples.o Duration of sampling.


http://www.aiha.org/

Resultso Tables summarizing calibration, sampling, and analytical data.o Succinct, factual statements based on observations and measurements.

Discussion and Conclusionso Significance of findings.

Recommendationso Control measures you might implement.o Need for follow-up sampling and analysis.o Recordkeeping requirements.

For your project, place yourself in the workplace actually performing the monitoring. Your monitoring plan and report should be as factual as possible with the information provided to you. When necessary, provide specific information on the work environment described in the scenario. Do not provide generic answers straight from a textbook. Helpful resources will include handouts from class lectures and labs, the NIOSH website (www.cdc.gov/niosh), the OSHA website (www.osha.gov), and the SKC, Inc., website (www.skcinc.com). Also, feel free to use other resources that you have available to you (manufacturer websites, textbooks, websites, etc.). This project is not meant to be a “team” effort. You must do your own research and turn in your own work. Your project is due no later than the start of class on _____________.

1Appendix B: Technical Internship TECH A295





Tool Description:


The packet provided to supervisors of students completing an internship at work site will include a set of objectives developed by the supervisor, student, and instructor of record. All parties involved will sign the objectives contract. The remained of the packet will provide guidelines for the supervisor to use as they evaluate the intern’s term with their organization. Internships are generally coordinated through our Career Services coordinator, Krista Timlin. Documents will be developed in coordination with that department and follow general KPC internship guidelines.

Factors that affect the collected data:

Differences in the management style and expectations of the supervisors who grade the interns could be a factor that would need to be considered when evaluating the data. The type of business in which an internship is completed could also be another factor.

How to interpret the data:

The information provided by the supervisor at the internship will give us an overview as to how well the student was prepared to work in that organization. We will access the information to determine if our students have the basic technological, interpersonal, and decision making skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. In addition we will be able to determine if they displayed appropriate workplace ethics while on the job site. All of these areas should be reviewed in the internship survey.
