Framework for Values-based Academic Assessment

We present a framework designed to help academic institutions and departments rethink and reform academic assessments - including tenure and promotion evaluations - using a values-based approach. For each of the 14 values included, we outline some scoping considerations, representative academic activities or scholarly outputs, and possible behavioral indicators that could embody these values and be evaluated. This framework is not exhaustive, and will likely depend on disciplinary considerations, but we share these examples as a starting point to hopefully encourage reforms. To accompany the framework, we also provide a list of existing resources from other groups that include recommendations for how different elements of this framework (e.g. public engagement) could be assessed. We welcome community feedback on both these resources. To provide feedback, please contact Erin McKiernan at [e-mail].

本框架旨在协助学术机构及院系重新审视并改革学术评估体系，包括职称评定与晋升评估，采用基于价值观的方法。针对所包含的14项价值观念，我们详细阐述了相应的范围考量、代表性的学术活动或学术成果，以及可能体现这些价值观并可供评估的行为指标。本框架并非详尽无遗，其具体实施将取决于学科特性，但我们分享这些案例，旨在为改革提供起点，并期许能够激发变革。伴随本框架，我们还提供了一份来自其他团体现有的资源清单，其中包含了如何评估本框架不同元素（例如公众参与）的建议。我们热切欢迎社区对此两项资源提出反馈。如需提供反馈，请联系Erin McKiernan，邮箱：[e-mail]。
