Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a handbook, this text provides media, speech (public speaking, interpersonal, small group, and organizational communication), and theatre educators with both the theoretical and practical ammunition to fight the assessment battles on their campuses. The philosophical implications of accountability are balanced with concrete, specific, and usable assessment strategies. Stressing student, faculty, course, program, department, and institutional assessment, this book's aim is to provide, in one place, information that will help diverse and complex communication programs face the growing challenges in assessment. The book is divided into three sections: background and foundational information for assessment; broad assessment strategies that apply to a variety of media, "speech," and theatre courses and programs; and context-specific assessment strategies. While covering a host of topics, it: * provides an overview of assessment and suggests how it might impact communication education, * discusses the elements of program assessment and how linkage of mission statements with outcomes can lead to strong, innovative programs, * compares and contrasts regional association requirements and presents a specific how-to strategy for writing outcome statements, * discusses teaching evaluation and argues that we need to identify the "what" of teaching before we try to measure the "how," * looks at creative ways for formative and summative course evaluation that starts with the creation of an explicit syllabus, * discusses the use of capstone courses as a way of evaluating not only their major but also how students have integrated their "total" educational experience, * suggests the variety of ways that interpersonal communication can be assessed and calls for future research that stresses the "knowledge" component of learning, * reports on a strategy for developing small group communication assessment measures, and * provides media, speech, and theatre faculty and administrators with the background, understanding and tools to build stonger programs and develop better courses and educational experiences for their students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing media education is a formidable task because both assessment and media education are complex and controversial concepts. Assessment, which can take place at the individual student, class, sequence, program, department or unit, and university levels, is questioned in terms of reliability, validity, relevance, and cost. Media education, which has been challenged at a number of schools, finds faculty and administrators in the midst of soul-searching about how to clearly articulate its missions and purposes to a broader audience. Departments are under increasing national, state, and institutional pressure to get assessment procedures carried out quickly, but there is an obvious danger in rushing to implement assessment strategies before establishing what is essential in media education. In communication education in general, the "what" of assessment is often discussed in terms of skills, attitudes, affect, values, and knowledge. People assess students to determine what they know, think, feel, value, and can do. Here it is suggested that one of the places to start defining what students should learn from their media education is by identifying outcomes. Outcomes can be assessed in a variety of ways, but first they need to be developed and clearly articulated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing Communication describes and includes a practical assessment of functional communication in four parts. It will be of particular value to speech and language therapists and teachers working with pupils who have severe learning difficulties. It considers communication skills from the earliest interactions to the skills of children working within level one of the National Curriculum English. It will enable the reader to build a careful and detailed assessment of 'how' and 'what' a child is communicating and to assess a wide range of communication difficulties. A completed assessment will supply information to construct an individual, total communication system for each child, which can include sign, symbol and speech output devices. It will enable differing professionals to assess together using a shared framework and to then plan realistic support for an individual child. The assessments provided are photocopiable.

How might our classroom assessments serve to promote learning, not just measure it? This book addresses these questions by offering a practical and proven Assessment Planning Framework. The Framework examines four different types of learning goals, considers various purposes and audiences for assessment, reviews five categories of assessment methods, and presents options for communicating results. This updated edition addresses the assessment of academic standards as well as transdisciplinary outcomes (e.g., 21st century skills), and describes the principles and practices underlying standards-based grading"--

This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of communication refers to canonical schemes from technologies to decisions on where, how, and why the semic act gains or is at risk; to hypotheses and limits; and to normal and unconventional exchanges of senses, despite the confrontations between codes, coding, and decoding. In this book, communication is defined as concept, skill, potential, behavior, mechanism, category of exchange, phenomenon, tool, and variable. This sophisticated view differs from previous studies and assumes the multiple systems of systems and meanings generated by various fieldworks that require/reclaim their primacy over communication. Basic Communication and Assessment Prerequisites for the New Normal of Education discusses the rivalry paradigms, ambiguities, new meanings, and mechanisms of the crossroad between communication and assessment. This book makes an inventory of developments in the area as well as analyzes new edumetrics and psychometrics and inserts new best practices. This involves creating new conversational networks of global best practices and metaparadigms in order to solve current disparities and unsolved problems from the fieldwork. Covering topics such as chronic conditions, online educational environments, and self-assessment competencies, this text is ideal for teachers, parents, students, trainers, decision makers, researchers, and academicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays focuses on both how and why assessment serves as a key element in the teaching and practice of technical and professional communication. The collection is organized to form a dual approach: on the one hand, it offers a landscape view of the activities involved in assessment - examining how it works at institutional, program, and classroom levels; on the other, it surveys the implications of using assessment for formulating, maintaining, and extending the teaching and practice of technical communication. The book offers teachers, students, scholars, and practitioners alike evidence of the increasingly valuable role of assessment in the field, as it supports and enriches our thinking and practice. No other volume has addressed the demands of and the expectations for assessment in technical communication. Consequently, the book has two key goals. The first is to be as inclusive as is feasible for its size, demonstrating the global operation of assessment in the field. For this reason, descriptions of assessment practice lead to examinations of some key feature of the landscape captured by the term 'technical communication'. The second goal is to retain the public and cooperative approach that has characterized technical communication from the beginning. To achieve this, the book represents a 'conversation', with contributors chosen from among practicing, highly active technical communication teachers and scholars; and the chapters set up pairs of opening statement and following response. The overriding purpose of the volume, therefore, is to invite the whole community into the conversation about assessment in technical communication.

Book excerpt: The primary task of the monograph is to describe and evaluate the conceptualizations of communication found in assessment practices. The first chapter contains a review and analysis of standardized measures and performance assessments of teachers' communication. Twelve communication categories emerge from an inspection of the performance assessments. The numerous meanings given to communication are elaborated by an examination of differences within each category. The second chapter focuses on theory and research. The literature on instructional communication is examined, and a model is developed with five critical skill areas. It is shown how these areas are used for five functions, or purposes, and in different modes or patterns of communicating. The final three chapters discuss limitations in current measures of communication. The perspective of the communication theorist and linguist is used to identify important dimensions of communication that have received little, if any, attention in the assessments. The claim that most performance assessments are grounded in research on teaching effectiveness is explored, and relationships between the assessments and the research are cited. Limitations of that research paradigm are identified and implications for communication from an information-processing model are discussed. (JD)

Book excerpt: This publication identifies and examines existing assessment instruments in oral communication for K-12 and higher education, and abstracts and describes assessment instruments and systematically reports their availability and interest to scholars, teachers, and administrators. It also provides background research needed to develop oral communication assessment instruments designed to encourage the development of new instruments. The document begins with an editor's foreword and a preface that relates alternative assessment, test fairness, and assessment utility to communication. It then presents an introduction to assessing oral communication, discusses topics including why oral communication skills should be taught, oral assessment for classroom decision-making, issues in assessing oral communication, locally developed instruments, and research and development priorities. The publication then discusses trends in K-12 state standards and assessment efforts, performance assessment, Speech Communication Association standards for assessment, and identification of measures. It then presents reviews of 16 oral communication assessment instruments for grades K-12. Next, it addresses the process by which instruments for higher education were identified and selected for inclusion, as well providing ideas for using the instruments. The final section presents reviews of 45 higher education instruments, divided into sections containing instruments intended for skills and behavioral assessment, or instructional and informative measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication remains a significant topic for job acquisition, development, and advancement. As such, there are no shortage of classes, seminars and books written on the subject. However, there are few designed for the corporate consultant that are not aligned with some proprietary system, traditional academic classrooms, or author’s speculation. These tend to be either inaccessible, questionable in their content, or specifically aligned with the producers’ interests. So where can the Communication trainers and consultants go to focus on fundamental touchstone research and practices? The Handbook of Communication Training is a powerful template, and first of its kind, for communication practitioners and academicians who wish to strengthen their professional capabilities. It also acts as a guide and standard for consumers and clients of these services. The chapters within are an outgrowth of the National Communication Association’s Training & Development Division’s desire to provide guidance, structure, and support for members and non-members alike. It is specifically targeted at those pursuing best practices regarding communication consulting, coaching, teaching and training. The 7 Best Practices presented in this book represent capabilities that are foundational to the effective transfer of communication promotion and skill enhancement. As such, these practices, and supporting chapters, should appeal to novice and experts alike.
