This paper provides the rationale for, examples of, and the collection and general uses of currently available, potentially underutilized academic program assessment data. Academic program assessment is essential for program improvement and accreditation, but commonly used assessment methods may not fully meet these needs. General assessment references, pharmacy education literature, and prior experiences were used to identify and discuss sources of potentially underutilized assessment data. Pre-course assessments, graded assignments, examinations, pharmacy experience evaluations, scoring rubrics, portfolios, progress testing, self-assessments, and classroom assessment techniques are potential sources of assessment data. Course evaluations and grades may also be useful. Selection should be based on need, availability, strength, and concerns. Challenges in data management may be best met through a centralized, integrated database. Careful selection of specific embedded and other assessments can be utilized to complete the development of a comprehensive, meaningful, and efficient program assessment plan.
本文阐述了当前可用的、可能未得到充分利用的学术项目评估数据的基本原理、示例以及收集和一般用途。学术项目评估对于项目改进和认证至关重要，但常用的评估方法可能无法完全满足这些需求。通过一般评估参考文献、药学教育文献和以往经验来识别和讨论可能未得到充分利用的评估数据来源。课前评估、分级作业、考试、药学实践评估、评分标准、档案袋、进展测试、自我评估和课堂评估技术都是评估数据的潜在来源。课程评估和成绩也可能有用。应根据需求、可用性、优势和关注点进行选择。数据管理方面的挑战最好通过集中式综合数据库来应对。精心选择特定的嵌入式评估和其他评估，可用于完成全面、有意义且高效的项目评估计划的制定。
