In education, "assessment" refers to the ongoing, systematic process of identification of goals, development of methods for measuring progress toward attaining those goals, and use of resulting information to make revisions in educational programs. Recently, state-review programs and accrediting agencies have focused review efforts on outcomes of the educational process. The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine has developed a successful outcomes assessment program that includes information regarding graduates' activities. The school is now considering new programs regarding more comprehensive assessment of clinical outcomes.
在教育领域，“评估”指的是一个持续的、系统的过程，包括确定目标、制定衡量实现这些目标进展情况的方法，以及利用所得到的信息对教育项目进行修订。最近，州审查项目和认证机构已将审查重点放在教育过程的成果上。西弗吉尼亚整骨医学院制定了一个成功的成果评估项目，其中包括有关毕业生活动的信息。该校目前正在考虑开展新的项目，以对临床成果进行更全面的评估。
