BEST PRACTICES IN LIBRARY INSTRUCTION FORUM November 7, 2007 HOW DOES YOUR ASSESSMENT MEASURE UP? Karen Brown Dominican University

Goals: Discuss different levels of evaluation Examine the potential of outcomes-based evaluation Apply outcomes-based strategies to library user instruction

Kirkpatrick’s Levels of Evaluation LEVEL ONE: Reaction LEVEL TWO: Learning LEVEL THREE: Transfer LEVEL FOUR: Results

LEVEL 1: REACTION How did the participants react to the session?

LEVEL 2: LEARNING Have the skills, knowledge, or attitudes of the participants increased, improved, or advanced?

LEVEL 3: BEHAVIOR (or transfer) Do the participants use their newly acquired skills or knowledge in their jobs, courses, or personal endeavors?

LEVEL 4: RESULTS What impact has the instruction achieved?

OUTCOMES-BASED EVALUATION – Why has it gained so much attention? Ripple effect of “accountability culture” Influence of business models Aligns a program’s goals with the institution’s goals Integrated approach to assessment

Plan … Implement … Assess “If you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.” - Yogi Berra

Elements of Outcomes-Based Evaluation Documents benefits to program’s participants - What would participants recognize as the benefits? Focuses on outcomes vs. outputs Output: 51 course-related instruction sessions provided Outcome: Instructors report better use of research materials in students’ papers

Considers changes in: Skill: What someone can do Attitude: What someone feels/thinks about something Skill: What someone can do Knowledge: What someone knows Behavior: How someone acts Status: Someone’s social or professional condition Life condition: Someone’s physical condition From: IMLS, “Outcome Based Evaluation”: http://www.imls.gov/applicants/faqs.shtm

Important Questions to Ask 1. If we had an excellent and successful library user instruction program, what would be the impact or benefits? - administration - faculty - students - library staff - other stakeholders/constituent groups?

2. What would be the characteristics or indicators of success or excellence? - attitudes - skills - knowledge - behavior - status - life condition

3. How might we document this success or excellence? - Examples: interviews observation focus groups performance assessments journals or logs library use statistics

Application to Library User Instruction Students Faculty Library staff Library services and programs Administration of the institution

APPLICATION If you had a successful library instruction program, what would be the impact or benefits? - Describe how the success benefits the people served by the program What would be the characteristics or indicators of success? - Identify concrete and observable changes in attitudes, skills, knowledge, behaviors, status, and/or conditions How might you document or demonstrate the success? - What tools or methods would you use to gather data and information?
