Video Summary
The lesson on designing program outcomes by Dan Crawford emphasizes the importance of creating clear, measurable goals for educational programs. Program outcomes ensure desired results are achieved, help avoid learning gaps, and promote excellence. They should reflect the skills and competencies students will acquire, focusing on the end skill set rather than individual course content. Crawford discusses the foundational elements that shape curriculum design, including philosophical assumptions, theoretical frameworks, and cultural influences. External factors such as accreditation standards, industry feedback, and local healthcare needs also play a role in program development. Meaningful program outcomes should be attainable, clear, measurable, and accompanied by an evaluation plan to track success. Various evaluation methods, including student outcomes, teaching evaluations, alumni surveys, and industry feedback, are essential for assessing program effectiveness and ensuring graduates meet the needs of their profession and community.
