ACT COMP Test Data, Fall 1986. Eastern New Mexico University. AAHE Assessment Forum Paper.
Eastern New Mexico Univ., Portales.
Results of assessing Eastern New Mexico University students' cognitive outcomes are presented as one component of research being conducted by the Student Impacts and Outcomes Committee. The impact of general education studies on undergraduates' integration and utilization of knowledge is being assessed using the American College Testing Program's College Outcomes Measures Program (ACT COMP) objective test. The test consists of six subtests: functioning in social institutions, using science and technology, using the arts, communicating, solving problems, and clarifying values. First semester freshmen are required to take this test; 704 students were tested in September 1986. The total ACT COMP score for the average freshman (0-29 cumulative credit hours) was at the 43rd percentile when compared to national norms. Percentiles for ENMU and the national sample are also reported for the six subtests. Charts present ACT COMP subtest results on: university-wide percentile rankings; percentile rankings for the advising center and for four colleges within the university; and comparisons of scores for five ethnic groups.
