How would you interpret these data? N = ~60 students Not confident Confident

 Motivation  What is a Knowledge Survey?  Applications of Knowledge Surveys  Implementation Here at UST

Ideally, our course organization, content, and learning goals all work together to maximize student learning

 I was looking to forge a more direct link between my course goals, organization and content  I wanted to know what my students thought they knew  I wanted a low stakes pre- and post-course assessment  I wanted something that was data-rich and fairly detailed  I wanted something easy to administer and analyze

 Questions that cover course content.  Organized by main content areas.  May be coded to Bloom’s Taxonomy.  Students do not answer the questions.  Students rank their ability to answer the questions on a Likert-type scale.  For my courses, between 70 and 150 questions.

 One of three assessment tools we use  188 questions that cover our entire curriculum  Administered to all graduating students on our departmental “assessment day” in the spring  Called the “Senior Exit and Knowledge Survey” (yes, the “SEKS”)

 Students see entire course content: no mysteries  Used as a study guide, students learn to self- assess  At completion of course, provides students with a detailed snapshot of what they have learned

 Excel  Blackboard  A template for processing data

 Give the KS as a TEST, not a survey  In Blackboard, surveys are anonymous. We don’t want that  Take class time to do it  Can give it as a first homework as well.  Download the data from Blackboard back to Excel to analyze
