Outcome Measurements in Higher Education. Advanced Institutional Development Program (AIDP) Two-year College Consortium, Vol. 1, No. 3.
Harvey, L. James, Ed.
Pressures from both outside and inside the institution are making it imperative that community colleges improve their ability to document and articulate the outputs and impacts of their programs. This document addresses itself to this issue and to the problems associated with measurement of outcomes in postsecondary education. An approach taken by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) in dealing with outcome measurement problems is presented. Another paper attempts to clarify the relationship between Planning, Management and Evaluation (PME) Systems and Outcome Measures (OCM) where OCM is seen as an integral component of the complete PME System. The remaining two papers describe outcome measurement projects underway at El Paso Community College (Texas) and Kalamazoo Valley Community College (Michigan). Contributors include Richard Drum, L. James Harvey, Charles J. Kinnison, Sidney S. Micek, and Enrique Soles, Jr. Appended are a list of outcome measures, a sample of NCHEMS' outcome measures procedure, and a tentative list of outcome measures developed by Kalamazoo Valley Community College.
