This book offers a broad overview of many issues related to assessment
in higher education, with specific application for understanding the
impact of service-learning and civic engagement initiatives. This
revised edition includes an additional chapter that explores recent
changes in the assessment landscape and offers examples and resources
for designing assessment strategies for community engagement in higher
education. The original text includes narrative addressing assessment
issues and strategies; a detailed discussion of learning from multiple
research projects performed over the past two decades about impact on
multiple constituencies -students, faculty, communities, and
institutions; and a discussion of strategies for data collection,
analysis, synthesis, and reporting. Specific assessment instruments for
use with each constituency are provided, including suggestions for
administration, preparation, and data analysis. This volume will be
helpful for individuals seeking a comprehensive resource on assessment
issues in higher education.
