Report On ‘Assessing Student Outcomes’

Abstract

This workshop was composed of three interrelated topics: (1) learning styles, (2) teaching beliefs, and (3) group problems. To demonstrate different learning styles, an introductory survey was given to the participants to determine what learning styles were present in the group. The results of the survey were then discussed. The teaching beliefs of the participants were explored using another handout. The results from the group were then discussed as well as how the beliefs relate to teaching philosophy. Group problems were introduced through examples, and the workshop as a whole then negotiated a list of worthwhile characteristics for group problems.
