WEAVERVILLE, NC – Several months ago, Dan Calloway conducted a research project to assess adult learner achievement in the classroom. Specifically, this research project was conducted on Wolf Creek Academy.
The research project conducted on students attending a 300-level Computer Science and Network Engineering Course at Wolf-Creek Academy was performed using a norm-referenced pre-assessment test prior to instruction to assess the overall knowledge and skill levels of the learners prior to instruction taking place, and was followed by criterion-referenced assessments consisting of a formative assessment at roughly the mid-point of instruction and a summative assessment following instruction.
The results of the adult learning assessment indicate that the criterion-referenced assessments chosen for this research project represent the “best practices” in adult learning assessment and demonstrate how the process of interpreting these assessments can have a profound impact on adult teaching.
