Objectives – The purpose of this collaborative qualitative research project, initiated by the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA), was to explore how librarians were involved in the designing, implementing, assessing, and disseminating student learning outcomes (SLOs) in GWLA member academic libraries. The original objective of the research was to identify library evaluation/assessment practices at the different libraries to share and discuss by consortia members at a GWLA-sponsored Student Learning Assessment Symposium in 2013. However, findings raised new questions and areas to explore beyond student learning assessment, and additional research was continued by two of the GWLA collaborators after the Symposium. The purpose of this second phase of research was to explore the intersection of library and institutional contexts and academic library assessment practices. Methods – This qualitative research study involved a survey of librarians at 23 GWLA member libraries, about student learning assessment practices at their institutions. Twenty follow-up interviews were also conducted to further describe and detail the assessment practices identified in the survey. Librarians with expertise in library instruction, assessment, and evaluation, either volunteered or were designated by their Dean or Director, to respond to the survey and participate in the interviews. Interview data were analyzed by seven librarians, across six different GWLA libraries, using constant comparison methods (Strauss & Corbin, 2014). Emerging themes were used to plan a GWLA member Symposium. Based on unexpected findings, after the Symposium, two GWLA researchers continued the analysis using a grounded theory methodology to re-examine the data and uncover categorical relationships and conceptual coding, and to explore data alignment to theoretical possibilities. Results – Seventeen categories and five themes emerged from the interview data and were used to create a 3-part framework for describing and explaining library SLO assessment practices. The themes were used to plan the GWLA Assessment Symposium. Through additional qualitative grounded theory data analysis, researchers also identified a core variable, and data were re-evaluated to verify an alignment to Engeström’s Activity and Expansion Theories (Engeström, 2001, 2004). Conclusions – The findings of this multi-phased qualitative study discovered how contextual, structural, and organizational factors can influence how libraries interact and communicate with college departments, and the larger institution about student learning outcomes and assessment. Viewing library and campus interaction through the activity theory lens can demonstrate how particular factors might influence library collaboration and interaction on campuses. Institutional contexts and cultures, campus-wide academic priorities, leadership at the library level, and changing roles of librarians were all themes that emerged from this study that are important factors to consider when planning the design, implementation, assessment and dissemination of library SLOs.

The problem that often occurs to teachers when teaching is that many students are less eager to learn. Therefore, it is necessary to have a new innovation from a teacher to overcome this, namely by using the example non-example model, which is a learning model that uses an image display to be analyzed, where the learning model is aimed at student activeness that allows the teacher to stimulate student enthusiasm by making their vital organs move and focus on tajwid learning in the TPQ Hikmatun Najah Blora so that students can be more active because they themselves will play a role in analyzing the image of verse fragments. This study is included in the category of descriptive qualitative research with the data obtained sourced from primary data sources, namely research main data obtained directly from research data sources namely respondents by interview, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the use of the example non-example model in Tajweed learning at TPQ Hikmatun Najah Blora adds more effectiveness because it can affect student learning outcomes because students become active because it raises the student's thinking and critical thinking so that it raises a high curiosity towards the material delivered.

In this paper, the author discusses assessment of student learning in light of evolving accreditation standards. The author describes the Indiana Model—a comprehensive approach that includes: (a) a Course-Learning Objectives (CLO) classification system to organize and analyze the total array of course learning objectives addressed in a curriculum, (b) a direct Assessment of Student Learning system to demonstrate student learning outcomes, and (c) an indirect Assessment of Student Learning system to provide for the perspectives of consumers and other stakeholders. When integrated, the three systems may be used for curriculum analysis and development, assessment of student learning, and program evaluation—particularly in terms of student learning outcomes. The proposed integrated approach to student learning assessment addresses both university and professional accreditation standards.

Subjek penelitian adalah 25 siswa kelas IX2 SMP Negeri 1 Kampar Timur. Teknik pengumpulan data yaitu tes dan wawancara. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pemahaman matematis siswa berkemampuan sedang dan rendah masih kurang, sedangkan siswa berkemampuan tinggi sudah cukup baik. Hasil wawancara menunjukkan bahwa siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memberikan contoh dan bukan contoh dari konsep serta kesulitan dalam mengaitkan berbagai konsep karena tidak memahami konsep dan hanya menghapal rumusnya. Untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman matematis siswa berkemampuan sedang dan rendah, dalam menyampaikan konsep guru sebaiknya menyertakan contoh dan bukan contoh dari konsep serta memberikan latihan soal-soal tentang mengaitkan berbagai konsep. Analysis of Students’ Ability Mathematical Understanding on the Topic of Curved Side SpaceAbstractMost teachers do not pay attention to the ability of mathematical understanding but only focus on student learning outcomes. This study aims to determine and analyze students' mathematical understanding abilities. This research is qualitative research. The research subjects were 25 IX2 students from East Kampar 1 Middle School. Data collection techniques are tests and interviews. The results of the analysis show that the ability of mathematical understanding of students with moderate and low abilities is still lacking, while high-ability students are good enough. The results of the interview indicate that students have difficulty in giving examples and not examples of concepts and difficulties in relating various concepts because they do not understand the concept and only memorize the formula. To improve the ability of mathematical understanding of students with moderate and low ability, in conveying the concept the teacher should include examples and not examples of concepts and provide training questions about linking various concepts.

This study was conducted because limited research has occurred in the area of co-curricular student learning outcomes assessment, which has resulted in confusion within the student affairs profession on how to develop and implement assessment plans. The purpose of this study was to examine high-quality assessment practices of student affairs divisions at three different research institutions in order to advance the value, usefulness, and understanding of learning outcomes assessment within the student affairs profession, so more student affairs divisions may begin assessing the co-curricular. Those student affairs divisions selected for this study represented assessment models with significant experience in successfully implementing assessments of student learning and development. These mature student affairs divisions who have substantial experience in successfully implementing their assessment plans were important to examine closely so that others can learn from their experiences.This study found that those student affairs divisions that participated in this study fostered a shared commitment to assessment. It became apparent that there are four levels of professional commitment to each student affairs division’s assessment initiative. Those four levels of professional commitment included: vice presidents, directors/coordinators of assessment, assessment committees, and unit-level professional staff.This research clearly indicates that successful assessment of student affairs learning outcomes requires the understanding that units are experts in their particular field; therefore, a decentralized model of assessment, facilitated by a coordinator or director, is most appropriate in student affairs. This study also explores the most commonly used assessment methods in student affairs, as well as student affairs efforts to collaborate in the assessment process. Moreover, this study investigates how student learning outcomes assessment results are used to enhance the student co-curricular experience. Finally, this study highlights the assessment successes and challenges identified by each of the three institutions that participated in this study.
