Carol A. Leibiger Alan W. Aldrich University of South Dakota “Measuring That Which Is Valued”: Implementing and Managing Efficient Formative Assessment and Evaluation of Library Instruction Carol A. Leibiger Alan W. Aldrich University of South Dakota

Session Goals Participants will learn… how to create and employ classroom assessment and evaluation techniques… using simple and cost-effective delivery methods (e.g., Google Forms and Socrative)… that are applicable in a variety of classroom settings and situations.

Why do we evaluate and assess instruction? Reasons to evaluate instruction To show that we value high-quality instruction To obtain data on student satisfaction with teaching To obtain data on student affect To demonstrate good customer service (RCM model) To enable continuous improvement/ professional development To obtain data for reflection on teaching To engage in legitimate faculty activities To demonstrate teaching effectiveness to constituents (ROI) To demonstrate library value to stakeholders To justify (increased) funding Reasons to assess learning To demonstrate student learning To obtain data on student learning To obtain data on student affect To enable continuous improvement/ professional development To obtain data for reflection on teaching To engage in legitimate faculty activities To demonstrate teaching effectiveness to constituents (ROI) To demonstrate library value to stakeholders To justify (increased) funding To tie library activities to the institution’s mission (USD and UL strategic plans)

Creating a Culture of Assessment UL’s context: Mandated developmental general- education IL program Freshman Composition: c. 120 sessions/semester Introduction to Speech: c. 25 sessions/semester 3-pronged approach to evaluation/ assessment: Student-satisfaction survey Assessment of student learning Peer evaluation of teaching

Context Barriers identified in assessment literature Time Resources Understanding of assessment Institution-specific barriers Faculty resistance to evaluation/ assessment Lack of time in one-shot sessions Possible technological failure

Questions?

Hybrid evaluation and assessment Creation of the instrument Why ENGL 101? Why evaluation? Why formative assessment? CATs Why the hybrid model? Efficiency Instrumental and relational dimensions of library service Creation of questions Designing the instrument Order of questions Collaborative revision Student-satisfaction questions 4 closed-ended (Likert-scale), 1 open- ended The librarian presented material effectively. The librarian presented clear and accurate information. The librarian answered questions competently. Students had the opportunity to participate and/or ask questions. How could the librarian have taught this session better?

Assessment Plan: Freshman Composition Draft Assessment Plan for ENGL 101 Learning outcomes: What do you want the student to be able to do? Access information effectively and efficiently in order to find scholarly resources for an academic research paper. Curriculum: What does the student need to learn? Choose appropriate resources/tools. Use effective search strategies. Refine the search strategy as needed. Pedagogy: What type of instruction will enable the learning? Flipped instruction: Five online lessons and exercises on research skills, catalog searching, database searching, web evaluation, and academic integrity. In-class active learning: Short research demonstration followed by assignment-focused searching for resources, scaffolded by library faculty. Assessment: How will the student demonstrate the learning? Students write a “one-minute paper” (CAT) as part of the student evaluation of the session, selecting or summarizing the most important thing they’ve learned in the session: What did you learn in this library session that you could pass on to fellow students or friends to help them complete this assignment better? Criteria for success: How will I know the student has done this? XX% of students identify a useful search process or resource that was taught during the library session. (The percentage to be determined by benchmarking.)

Delivery Tools Google Forms Socrative Works on many devices Clean interface Cumbersome login process Easy for instructors to set up and to use Does not allow sharing of instruments across multiple instructors and sections Does not protect instructor privacy Easy and quick for students to access and to use Protects student privacy Provides analytics Socrative Works on any device Clean interface Easy for instructors to set up and to use Allows sharing of instruments across multiple instructors and sections Protects instructor privacy Easy and quick for students to access and to use Protects student privacy Does not provide analytics Limited to 50 students at a time

Working with Results Analysis Benchmarking Reflecting Revising Quantitative Qualitative Benchmarking Reflecting Revising Communicating results

Quantitative analysis Librarians’ Closed-Ended Evaluation Questions (Mean Scores) Evaluation Question   Librarian 1. The librarian presented material effectively. 2. The librarian presented clear and accurate information. 3. The librarian answered questions competently. 4. Students had the opportunity to participate and/or ask questions. IL Coordinator 4.7 4.6 IS Librarian 4.8

Quantitative analysis: Instructor positive attributes Single positive attributes Combined positive attributes 34%: holistic positive and other positive attributes 7%: helpfulness and other positive attributes 2%: effective explanations and other positive attributes 4%: modeling effective searching and other positive attributes

Qualitative analysis: Assessment of learning Learning: Single skills Learning: Combined skills

Qualitative analysis: Assessment of learning Learning: Single tools Learning: Combined tools

Qualitative analysis: Affect/values Open-ended evaluation question Open-ended assessment question 3 students also commented on relational categories, i.e., affect and values. 2 noted that they valued research databases or library resources as a result of instruction. 1 student noted a pleasant interaction with a librarian (“She said I look like Bob Dylan. I am thoroughly pleased with this.”). 4 students indicated changes in affect and values. 3 mentioned increased value of research databases (2%) and research skills (1%). 1 student indicated greater confidence in searching, an affective change.

Future developments Pilot the hybrid form in Freshman Composition with the entire RRIS instructor team. Results of the IL pilot suggest the benchmarking goal be set at 80%. Benchmarking with data from all RRIS members will test 80% hypothesis. Expand hybrid evaluation/assessment to other IL-mandated courses in the developmental IL program Honors English Introduction to Literature Advanced Writing (Advanced Composition, Business Writing, Creative Writing) Public Speaking Begin discussions about a peer review process (using inventory of effective teaching practices culled from the evaluation data).
