Assessing Ethics Education Programming on Campus and Beyond: Prospects and Problems
34th Annual Annual Association for Practical and Professional Ethics Conference (with Jeffrey Dunn and David Holiday)
Norfolk, VA, February 22, 2025
Assessing Ethics Education Programming on Campus and Beyond is a candid look at what it actually takes to evaluate ethics education with integrity. We start by naming the institutional pressures: deans, boards, donors, and the need to show value with more than anecdotes. Then we walk through the prospects and problems of common tools, from the Defining Issues Test to intellectual humility measures, and why each can misfire. We close with a pragmatic, mixed-method approach we’re piloting at the Prindle Institute, plus discussion prompts participants can use immediately.
