Undergraduates in the Archives: Using an Assessment Rubric to Measure Learning
American Archivist, 73 (2): 507--534 (Sep 1, 2010)
Abstract
This study introduces the use of a rubric to assess student learning from archival instruction. The researcher undertook a field study to examine what students in an undergraduate history course at a large state university learn from archival instruction. The study also builds upon previous work in the archival literature to introduce a reliable measure of archival literacy skills. The results of this study demonstrate that archival instruction can have a positive impact on student learning.
