2016 American Psychological Association Summit on National Assessment of Psychology

这是一个由美国心理协会组织的会议。它以研讨会的形式召集了30名心理学评估专家，以确定评估本科生心理学专业的最佳做法。这些评估专家都来自大专和授予学士学位的心理学项目。他们的主要重点将是确定基于证据的评估。他们的次要关注点是制定一项计划，将这些最佳实践和创新传播到本科心理学课程中。十多年来，美国心理协会已经公布了心理学专业的目标和学习成果。然而，在提供循证评估做法方面所做的努力并不多。该项目将使改进的评估工具与2013年编写的《行政程序法》准则2.0中所体现的精心制定的业绩标准保持一致。这些指导方针明确了心理学专业的五个主要目标，包括科学探究和批判性思维。这些指导方针为大专和本科水平的系规划提供了一个现代化的基础。

This is a conference organized by the American Psychological Association. It is a convening of 30 assessment experts in psychology meeting in a workshop format to identify best practices in assessment of the undergraduate psychology major. These assessment experts are being drawn from both associate and baccalaureate degree-granting psychology programs. Their primary focus will be on identifying evidence-based assessments. Their secondary focus is the development of a plan for disseminating these best practices and innovations to undergraduate psychology programs.The American Psychological Association has promulgated goals and learning outcomes for the psychology major for more than a decade. However, there have been only modest efforts to provide evidence-based assessment practices. This project will align improved assessment tools with the carefully laid out standards of performance embodied in the APA Guidelines 2.0, written in 2013. These Guidelines specify five major goals of the psychology major, including scientific inquiry and critical thinking. These guidelines provide a modern foundation for department planning at the associate and baccalaureate level.
