Gh. Hull et al., QUALITY ASSURANCE IN SOCIAL-WORK EDUCATION - A COMPARISON OF OUTCOME ASSESSMENTS ACROSS THE CONTINUUM, Journal of social work education, 30(3), 1994, pp. 388-396
Although assessing program outcomes has become increasingly important
in higher education, no systematic research has been undertaken to det
ermine the outcome measurement systems used across the entire continuu
m of social work education. This study, based on a 1992 survey of more
than 150 baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral social work education
programs, is the first to provide substantive data about the types of
assessment systems in place at all three levels. It describes the freq
uency of use of various systems, makes comparisons across the levels o
f education, and discusses the implications for social work education
at each level.
