Assessment culture is a subset of organizational culture [1] in higher education characterized by trusting relationships, data-informed decision-making, a respect for the profession of teaching, and an internally-driven thirst for discovery about student learning. [2] [3] Positive assessment culture generally connotes the existence of conditions for collaboration among practitioners, reward structures, professional development opportunities for faculty and staff, [4] student involvement, and a shared commitment among leaders to making institutional improvements that are sustainable. [5] [6] [7]
Assessment culture may be revealed behaviorally through factors such as: celebration of successes, comprehensive program review, shared use of common terminology and language, [8] provision of technical support, and use of affirmative messaging to effectively convey meaning. [9] The culture of assessment has been measured by scholars of perceptions among faculty [10] to determine motivations, sense of support, and levels of fear related to assessment.
