Learning Outcome 1: Quick Facts
As a result of attending the HPEC’s Quick Facts on Health (Quick Facts) guest lecture, students will be able to identify at least three facts covered in the presentation.
Assessment Measures
Direct and indirect measures are utilized to assess student learning and outcomes through Qualtrics pre- and post-testing and evaluations. Knowledge change, as measured through pre- and post-testing true/false statements, is the primary direct measure. Indirect measures, utilizing Likert scales, assess student perceptions of knowledge change, behavioral intentions, and further knowledge needs. Outcomes are evaluated in relation to identified program objectives.
Assessment Data Collection Plan
Data is collected at Quick Facts presentations throughout the academic year. Data review and discussion occur periodically throughout the year. Assessment data is typically collected for presentations one hour or longer.
Existing Data
Existing Qualtrics data, American College Health Association (ACHA) Healthy Campus 2020 Objectives, and ACHA National College Health Assessment reference group and campus reports are among the data sources utilized for analysis.
Analysis of Results
Data reviews related to changes in knowledge, behavioral intentions, and identified needs are conducted. HPEC activity logs and data collection dates are used to disaggregate data, allowing for comparisons among Quick Facts participant subpopulations.
Use of Results
Results are discussed among HPEC and appropriate Student Health Center staff to assess and, where applicable, modify presentation content and evaluate students’ intent to apply health-enhancing information and skills to their daily lives. Results will also be shared with committees such as the Assessment Committee and Basic Needs Committee. Health educators review analyses, existing data (e.g., Healthy Campus 2020 Objectives), relevant laws, and other information to inform programs, activities, and services. Appropriate modifications are implemented where indicated. Results will be shared with the Student Life Assessment Council.
- Student Life Domain: Health and Well-Being
- Institutional Strategic Priority: Student Success
- Institutional Learning Outcome: Knowledge: Mastery of Content and Processes of Inquiry
Learning Outcome 2: Wellness Fair
As a result of participating in the HPEC’s SHC annual Wellness Fair, students will be more likely to:
- Make healthy lifestyle changes
- Continue their education by reading informational brochures they received
- Demonstrate new information about one or more health services
Assessment Measures
The Wellness Fair post-participation evaluation consists of indirect measures utilizing Likert scales. Student perceptions of knowledge change and behavioral intentions are assessed. The overall Wellness Fair outcome is evaluated based on these results.
Assessment Data Collection Plan
Data is collected at each Wellness Fair. Participants complete the activity evaluation after engaging in at least eight Wellness Fair activities.
Analysis of Results
Results are compiled in an Excel spreadsheet and disaggregated by academic college, gender, age, and race/ethnicity.
Use of Results
Results are compiled in an Excel spreadsheet and disaggregated by academic college, gender, age, and race/ethnicity. Findings will be shared with the Student Life Assessment Council.
- Student Life Domain: Health and Well-Being
- Institutional Strategic Priority: Student Success
- Institutional Learning Outcome: Knowledge: Mastery of Content and Processes of Inquiry
Learning Outcome 3: Alcohol Awareness
As a result of participating in Alcohol Awareness Week and Safe Spring Break activities, students will be able to:
- List two signs or symptoms of alcohol poisoning
- Identify one way their body or behavior is affected by alcohol
- Describe new information learned at the event
- Indicate if they plan to share the information they learned with others
Assessment Measures
Indirect measures are utilized to assess student learning and outcomes through post-event testing and evaluations. Using Likert scales, student perceptions of knowledge change and behavioral intentions are assessed. Outcomes are evaluated in relation to identified program objectives.
Assessment Data Collection Plan
Data is collected at the end of each event. Participants complete evaluations after visiting the required number of educational stations.
Existing Data
Existing data from previous years is assessed and compared to data from future Alcohol Awareness Week and Safe Spring Break events.
Analysis of Results
Results are compiled in an Excel spreadsheet. Future modifications to the evaluation will allow for greater data disaggregation.
Use of Results
Results are discussed among HPEC and Student Health Center staff to assess and, where appropriate, modify presentation content and evaluate students’ intent to apply health-enhancing knowledge and skills. Results will also be shared with relevant committees such as the Assessment Committee and Basic Needs Committee. Health educators review analyses, existing data, laws, and additional information to guide program improvement. Modifications are implemented where indicated. Results will be shared with the Student Life Assessment Council.
