Disciplinary Affiliation and Administrators' Reported Perception and Use of Assessment
Smith, Patricia J.; Cognard-Black, Andrew J.
Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, v20 n1 p159-172 Spr-Sum 2019
Using survey data collected from 269 participants in the fall of 2016 and the spring of 2017, this study examines whether any changes might have occurred within the last 20 years regarding the disciplinary affiliation of honors administrators. Additionally, we explored current assessment practices of honors administrators and possible associations between these practices and the administrators' disciplinary affiliation. Our study investigates disciplinary variation among honors directors in their attitudes toward and perceived effectiveness with outcomes assessment. While we mostly found similarities among directors/deans in their use of assessment, some significant differences occurred in attitudes toward and confidence with using assessment and program review. We discuss these differences and their implications for the National Collegiate Honors Council.
