Table Legend
Table 1. Intended student outcomes and aligned
assessment tool examples. The intended student outcomes were first
identified from the UFERN landscape study (O’Connell et al. 2020) and by
participants at the 2018 UFERN Network Meeting at Kellogg Biological
Station, April 30 – May 2, 2018. The authors of this essay then refined
the list by removing those outcomes that were either duplicated,
irrelevant, not measurable, or linked to very specific contexts (not
field universal). Each outcome is grouped according to a primary aim
defined in the table below. The table organizes published assessment
tools that fall under each primary aim category and that are applicable
for use in undergraduate field education experiences. This table was
designed to help practioners identify instruments that align with the
intended student outcomes they have identified for their field
experiences. The primary aims are categories that the authors have
defined to link outcomes with assessments using language that is
accessible to the practitioner. The aim categories do not necessarily
represent specific constructs or scales for individual assessments. The
structure of the table follows that designed by Shortlidge and Brownell
(2016).
