EDAA 50115 Assessment in the Adult Andragogical Classroom

This course is designed to address the issue of assessing how effectively teachers of adults are teaching (or facilitating adult learning), and to help those teachers assist their students/participants in knowing how effectively they are learning what is being taught. Emphasis in this process will be placed on three major categories of techniques for assessing: (a) course-related knowledge and skills; (b) learner attitudes, values, and self-awareness; and (c) learner reactions to instruction. Special attention will focus this assessment in the adult classroom within educational (community and/or non-formal settings. The subject matter is core to any academic degree for those who assess their own teaching, assess adult learning, or engage in helping adults assess their own learning.
