This document analysis synthesized student learning outcomes (SLOs) and assessment methods from a sample of 36 student government associations in the California Community College system. Student learning outcomes were grouped according to "governance, ethical and civic behavior", and "experiential learning functions." Using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy (Forehand, 2005) as an interpretive framework, findings revealed that this taxonomy's six levels of cognitive development were well represented but not identically across the functions. In the governance function, the levels of "understanding," "evaluating," and "creating" were represented. In the "ethical and civic behavior" function, the levels of "remembering," "understanding," "applying," and "evaluating" were represented. In the "experiential learning" function, all levels of the taxonomy were represented ("remembering," "understanding," "applying," "analyzing," "evaluating", and "creating"). Findings also reveal that three of the 36 institutions, including Cuesta College, Orange Coast College, and Saddleback College, have explicit student learning outcome statements, although Cuesta College is the only one written as a true statement of objectives that could be measured. One of those colleges, Orange Coast College, also utilizes a formal system of measuring students' learning through implementation of assessment methods. Implications for practice and policy include new applications for institutional accreditation, revised policy for professional associations, and resources to guide creation of student learning outcomes for student government association participants. Implications for research include the replication of the study in other higher education systems, and further analysis of individual colleges and groupings of colleges based on demographics.
