OUTCOMES
OUTCOME ASSESSMENT

Is the process of gathering

information on whether the

4.1 PRINCIPLES OF GOOD
PRACTICE IN ASSESSING
LEARNING OUTCOMES
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE
IN ASSESSING LEARNING
OUTCOMES
1. The assessment of student
learning starts with the
institution's vision, mission, and

after formal schooling
concludes.
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE

equally to the activities and
experiences that lead to the
attainment of learning outcomes.
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE
