Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Effective January, 1999, the Arizona community colleges and universities agreed upon a common structure for a transfer general education curriculum. This curriculum provides students attending any Arizona community college with the opportunity to build a general education curriculum that is transferable upon completion without loss of credit to another Arizona community college or university. This common agreement is called the Arizona General Education Curriculum. There are three forms of the AGEC: • AGEC-A (Arts) for students majoring in the arts, humanities, or the social and behavioral sciences • AGEC-B (Business) for students majoring in business • AGEC-S (Science) for students majoring in the physical and biological sciences or in the health related professions Each AGEC is at least a 35 credit lower division general education curriculum block that fulfills the lower division general education requirements at Arizona’s three universities. The general education subject areas include English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, physical and biological sciences, and additional courses (the number of credits and specific courses for each subject area are listed in the following, “Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Course List”). The mathematics requirement differs among the three forms of AGEC; and the AGEC-S additional courses requirement consists of a science and math focus as well as requiring a sequence of science courses in either biology, chemistry, or physics; otherwise, the requirements for the subject areas in the three AGECs are the same. Because of the university requirement of demonstrating proficiency in a single second language at either the second or fourth semester level, you should consult the university requirements for the university to which you wish to transfer to for specific instructions. To demonstrate proficiency by means other than course work, refer to the General Program Requirements section of the catalog.

Arizona Western College General Education

What is General Education? Through general education, AWC encourages faculty and students to pursue wholeness in learning by providing a curriculum that focuses intensely on values and meaning, knowledge and understanding, imagination and creativity, reasoning and judgment, consciousness, and existence. General education enables students to see that education integrates and unifies knowledge, and allows them to become aware of ambiguity and appreciative of cultural diversity while encouraging comprehensive literacy, including an understanding of symbol systems that educated people in contemporary society must possess.

Why General Education? The accumulation of knowledge, together with independent thinking, can produce comprehensive understanding and reasoned values. Differences in values can be viewed as constructive elements in learning when students attempt to perceive the problem from the perspective of those who disagree. The purpose is to give every student pursuing an undergraduate degree the basic skills and the familiarity with various branches of knowledge which are associated with college and university education and are useful in advanced study within the university and in life beyond the university. The ultimate goal of general education is to enable students to continue to participate with active, discerning commitment in the political, ethical, and aesthetic life of the community.

How do we measure General Education? General education is designed for all undergraduate students to examine the links between various disciplines and the relationships among areas of knowledge. By completing the general education curricula students will discover the power and limitations of the historical foundations of thinking and understanding. In the general education curricula critical inquiry prepares students to explore and critique their thoughts about these models through comparison with alternative models from other thinkers and cultures. Critical Inquiry involves the development of sustained and increasingly complex levels of questioning that lead to the gathering, interpretation, and evaluation of evidence within and among disciplinary communities. A responsive general education program requires thoughtful and precise writing, critical reading, quantitative thinking, scientific literacy, digital literacy, civic discourse and the development of the processes of analysis and synthesis which underlie reasoning.

Digital Literacy Digital literacy is the ability to effectively and critically evaluate, navigate and create information using a range of digital technologies while adhering to the rules and laws governing said information and technologies. Digital literacy is a supplement to, not a replacement of, traditional forms of literacy, building upon the foundation of traditional forms of literacy.

A digitally literate person comprehends and can use technology strategically to find and evaluate information, connect and collaborate with others, produce and share original content, and use the Internet and technology tools to achieve academic, professional, and personal goals.

Communication Effective communication is the ability to read critically, articulate questions clearly, identify and evaluate appropriate research, construct and support cogent arguments, and engage in intellectual and artistic expression. Effective communicators develop proficiency in the skills of writing, reading, speaking, and utilizing electronic media, which provides an intellectual foundation for future academic, professional, and personal lives.

Writing Intensive Arizona Western College believes writing provides a unique opportunity to learn disciplinary content while mastering writing skills. Writing-Intensive (WI) courses at Arizona Western College integrate writing assignments in ways that help students learn both the subject matter of the courses and discipline-specific ways of thinking and writing. Writing-Intensive courses help develop students’ identities as good writers by linking their writing proficiency with their desire to know more about the field of study, to engage in questions in the discipline, and to become a participant in academic discourse. The prerequisite for courses meeting the Writing Intensive component is ENG 101 completion with a C or better. Writing Intensive courses are identified by a WI following the course title. WI courses are capped at a maximum of 20 students. Two writing intensive courses, beyond the ENG 101/102 Composition sequence, are required.

Quantitative Analysis Quantitative Analysis is the ability to use mathematical concepts and operations in order to solve problems. Students should be able to apply analytical skills to solve real world and abstract problems. A quantitatively literate individual should be able to perform arithmetic, algebraic and logical operations that involve abstract problems, and demonstrate problem solving skills.

Scientific Literacy Scientific Literacy is the ability to describe, explain, predict, and evaluate the quality of scientific information on the basis of its source and the methods used to generate it.

45 AWC 2021–2022 Catalog Civic Discourse Civic Discourse fosters the ability to describe and analyze how historical, cultural, and political issues shape our contemporary perspectives and engage us as individuals and as citizens of a global community. Civic discourse includes both the principles of citizenship and issues of mannerly discourse.

Civic Discourse - Awareness Areas

Global Awareness While the modern world is comprised of many geographically and politically independent states and countries, the complexity of our society compels us to acknowledge a significant interdependence among peoples of the world. There is an ever increasing need to balance regional and national goals with global concerns. Indeed our future survival may depend on our ability to generate global solutions to problems. Learning that recognizes the nature of other peoples and the relationship of our cultural system to generic human goals and welfare will help create persons who are able to effectively interact in the global community. Forms of global awareness may be embedded in courses in arts and humanities, social and behavioral science, physical and biological sciences, or additional courses areas of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC).

Cultural Awareness At Arizona Western College, general education courses emphasizing cultural (ethnic, race, and gender) awareness ask students to reassess the relationships between their identities and those of the members of groups outside their own. These courses present sensitive, balanced insights into issues arising from ethnic, race, and gender differences, with the aims of demonstrating the value of cultural pluralism and preparing students to work to resolve existing conflicts. Forms of ethnic/race/gender awareness may be embedded in courses in arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, or additional courses areas of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC).

Historical Awareness Historical consciousness is essential for students to understand present as well as future events. Historical forces and traditions have created modern life, and historical perspective is a valuable resource in analyzing contemporary problems. While knowledge of the past is an important source for identifying and understanding our own cultural value system, historical study can also encourage intercultural appreciation by tracing cultural differences to their origins. Opportunities for nurturing historical awareness may be embedded in courses in arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, or additional courses areas of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC).

54 Learning is a dynamic, engaging

and continuous process. Education General It involves:

• Making learning expectations explicit and public. • Setting appropriate criteria and rigorous standards for learning quality. • Systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches expectations and standards.

• Using the resulting information to understand, document, explain, and improve performance.

Throughout each course and degree program, assessment of student learning outcomes takes place in a variety of forms including homework assignments, examinations, written papers, project work, oral presentations, design portfolios, and more. Beyond course-related assessments, students may be asked to provide feedback on their learning experiences via a variety of materials including: satisfaction surveys, learning self- reflection papers, participation in focus groups and exit interviews. Results of the various approaches to assessment of student learning outcomes help guide the faculty in analyzing instructional practices, curricular course work sequences, alignment of course and program objectives, and efficacy of the curriculum in meeting the mission of the degree program. Student learning outcomes assessment helps foster a shared academic culture dedicated to assuring and improving the quality of the higher education experience offered at AWC.
