How Does It All Fit Together?Mission – The purpose of your program.
Goal/Objective – What the program intends to accomplish or what students should learn, understand or appreciate.
Learning Outcome – Describes the end result, what students should know, demonstrate, or produce as a result of what they have learned from the program.

What is a learning outcome?
“Learning outcomes refers to the specific knowledge or skills that students actually develop through their college experience.”
From: Dictionary of Student Outcome and Assessmenthttp://people.jmu.edu/yangsx/Search/asp?searchText=outcomes+assessment&Option=Term

Outcome Development
“A variety of methods might be used to identify learning outcomes and prioritize the degree of emphasis placed on them. An entire campus (e.g., a functional area, a major) should begin by identifying the learning outcomes it seeks to develop in its students.”

Outcome Development
Before we develop learning outcomes, we must ask ourselves…
What is it that an ideal participant would learn from the experience or program?
Exercise borrowed from Learning Reconsidered 2.
![Page 12: KATHY CLARK PETERSEN, PH.D. STUDENT DEVELOPMENT, ASSISTANT TO THE VICE PRESIDENT MICHELLE CHEATEM ASSOCIATE DEAN OF STUDENTS JASPA SUMMER INSTITUTE JULY](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649eab5503460f94bb0a25/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is a learning outcome statement?Describes what students should know, demonstrate, be able to do, or produce based on what and how they learn.
Relies on active verbs such as create, compose, develop, calculate, articulate, etc. that target what we expect students to be able to demonstrate.
Written for a course, program, experience, department, division, or institution.

Objectives and Outcomes
Students will understand the needs of the community.
As a result of participating in RoadTrip, students will communicate a process of determining the needs of a community.

Objectives and Outcomes
Students will learn what it means to be attentive, reflective, and loving.
As a result of participating in RoadTrip, students will articulate at a basic level what it means to be attentive, reflective, and loving.

Writing a Learning OutcomeOutcomes Include:Audience – Your audience in student learning outcomes is always the student.
Behavior - Use future tense action verbs.
Condition – Include the factors associated with the behavior.
Degree of Achievement – You may or may not include the degree or acceptable level of performance.

Writing a Learning OutcomeOutcomes Include:
Audience, Behavior, Condition , and Degree of Achievement
As a result of participating in RoadTrip, students will articulate at a basic level what it means to be attentive, reflective, and loving.

The degree does not have to be explicitly articulated in the learning outcomes statement. Often times, the degree is implied by the verb used in the statement.
EvaluationCriticizes, compares, concludes
SynthesisCreates, formulates, revises
AnalysisDifferentiates, diagrams, estimates
ApplicationDemonstrates, computes, solves
UnderstandingExplains, summarizes, classifies
KnowledgeIdentifies, defines, describes

Steps to Writing Learning Outcomes
1. Identify the individual or population. Ex. Resident Assistants
2. What is your learning goal? What do you want students to achieve?
3. What will they know, be able to do, and/or explain?
4. Determine the degree(s) of learning. Ex. Knowledge (articulate, define); Evaluation (criticize, compare)

It’s time to write!
Write outcome statements that capture what students in your program or experience should learn or achieve.
