Assessing Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Competencies

美国国家研究委员会(NRC)测试和评估委员会正在进行这项研究，以确定评估学生在团队合作、沟通、行为自律、学业坚韧和毅力方面技能的最佳方法。这些技能，也被称为人际和个人内部能力，已经开始被认为对学生在大学里的成功很重要，特别是在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面。事实上，这些因素对大学的成功可能与传统的思维和推理技能一样重要，后者已经拥有深厚的研究基础，可以指导教学和评估学生在STEM的表现。研究报告将能够为研究人员、从业者和政策制定者提供指导。为了进行这项研究，NRC正在召集一个专家委员会来确定和分析这一领域的知识现状。这项工作建立在其他NRC报告的基础上，例如生活和工作教育：在21世纪发展可转移的知识和技能(NRC，2012)，其中确定了三个广泛的能力领域：认知(例如，思考、推理)、人际(例如，沟通技能)和个人内部(例如，自我调节)。委员会的报告将确定制定和使用与人际和个人内部能力范围有关的评估的原则和优先事项。

The National Research Council's (NRC) Board on Testing and Assessment is conducting this study to determine the best available methods to assess student skills in teamwork, communication, self-regulation of behavior, academic tenacity, and grit. These skills, also known as interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies, have begun to gain recognition as important to student success in college generally and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) specifically. Indeed such factors may be as important to college success as traditional thinking and reasoning skills, which already have a deep research base to guide instruction and assessment of student performance in STEM. The report resulting from the study will be able to provide guidance to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.To conduct the study, the NRC is convening a committee of experts to identify and analyze the current state of knowledge of this field. This work builds on other NRC reports, such as Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century (NRC, 2012), which identified three broad domains of competence: cognitive (e.g., thinking, reasoning), interpersonal (e.g., communication skills), and intrapersonal (e.g., self-regulation). The committee's report will establish principles and priorities for the development and use of assessments related to the range of interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies.
