After 16 Years of Publishing Standards, Do CAS Standards Make a Difference?
Arminio, Jan; Gochenauer, Patty
College Student Affairs Journal, v24 n1 p51-65 Fall 2004
Using members of professional associations who are a part of the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) consortia as a sample, this study investigated who uses CAS Standards, how and why they are used, and whether CAS Standards are associated with enhanced student learning. Using a quantitative analysis, this study found that 61% of the sample had heard of CAS, vice presidents were significantly more likely to have heard of CAS than those with other job titles, and CAS materials are used more as guides than for self assessment. Only 24% of the sample indicated that they measure learning outcomes, and of those 41% stated that there is a connection between student learning and CAS Standards. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
