RESEARCH PAPER: ASSESSMENT MODELS, PROCESSES, AND ACCREDITATION
STANDARDS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
To carry out assessment and accreditation processes in higher education, there need to be
theoretical models that assessment practitioners can use to guide their efforts. The Joughin and
Macdonald Model of Assessment in Higher Education exemplifies such a theoretical model.
Over time, such models must be adapted to incorporate the changing nature of assessment and
accreditation. Universities and colleges use the guidance of such models to create their own
assessment processes, one example being the Liberty University PLACE assessment model. It is
vital that all stakeholders at the institution be involved in planning and conducting assessment
processes, which can be done by incorporating them into appropriate stages of an institutions
assessment processes. These stakeholders need to be aware of the standards the institutions
regional accreditation agency has developed to ensure the assessment processes carried out will
produce improvements across the institution and the documentation necessary to demonstrate
that the accrediting agencys standards are being met.
