چکیده (انگلیسی):

The objective of this work is to suggest a process for improving the assessment of educational
outcomes in universities. Improved accountability and assessment has become an important
direction in academic institutional research, but the underlying question –how best to accomplish
this goal is an open question. A framework is first described which promotes the categorization of
academic assessment. Based on this framework, a preliminary instrument was developed and
piloted. The results of this study are reported and plans for future efforts are described.
