This descriptive study examined instructors' use of assessment methods in a random sample of Ohio postsecondary technical and occupational classrooms and laboratories. Instructors tended to use information from paper and pencil tests the most in making instructional decisions, followed by information from performance assessments and informal observations. Postsecondary instructors rarely used information from standardized tests, portfolios, and essay methods. Instructors neither agreed or disagreed on the potential constraints faced while conducting assessment activities. More than four-fifths of the instructors reported a positive attitude toward assessment and more than one-half considered themselves to be very competent in assessment. Show less
