Writing center assessment : ウィキペディア英語版 | Writing center assessment Writing center assessment refers to a set of practices used to evaluate writing center spaces. Writing center assessment builds on the larger theories of writing assessment methods and applications by focusing on how those processes can be applied to writing center contexts. In many cases, writing center assessment and any assessment of academic support structures in university settings builds on programmatic assessment principles as well. As a result, writing center assessment can be considered a branch of programmatic assessment, and the methods and approaches used here can be applied to a range of academic support structures, such as digital studio spaces. == History == While writing centers have been prominent features in university settings dating back to the 1970s in American higher education, questions remain about the role of the writing center in improving student writing ability. In discussing the lack of discussion about writing center assessment, Casey Jones compares writing centers to the group Alcoholics Anonymous, claiming that "both AA and writing labs have similar features" yet "the structure of AA complicates empirical research, the desired outcome, sobriety, can be clearly defined and measured. The clear-cut assessment of writing performance is a far more elusive task".〔 Between 1985 and 1989 the (Writing Lab Newsletter ), a popular publication among writing center directors, lacked discussion of hard evaluation of writing center, illustrating the early lack of discussion about assessment in the context of writing centers, instead focusing primarily on advice and how-to guides. In many cases, writing center directors or (writing program administrators (WPAs) ) are responsible for assessing writing centers, and must communicate these results to academic administration and various stakeholders. Assessment is seen as beneficial for writing centers because it leads us to assume the professional and ethical behaviors important not just for writing centers but for all higher education.
