Pretest/Posttest Use of the Life Styles Inventory for Outcomes Assessment of a Professional Master’s in Managerial Leadership Program
研究使用生活方式量表对管理领导力硕士项目进行前后测，发现学生在12个思维和行为风格中的8个上发生了预期方向的显著变化，表明该量表能有效评估态度随时间的变化。
This study focuses on findings from one instrument used in an extensive, value-added outcomes assessment of a professional master’s in managerial leadership (the MS-ML) program. The longitudinal research project assessed the extent to which MS-ML students experienced beneficial change in intended skill areas and shifts in relevant attitudes as a function of participating in their degreeprogram. Results from preprogram/postprogr amadministrations of the Life Styles Inventory (LSI), a normed tool that measures self-image on 12 thinking and behavioral styles, revealed significant changes in the expected directions on 8 of the 12 scales. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of a longitudinal approach for assessing program out comes while also pointing to the LSI as a sensitive instrument for assessing attitudinal change over time.
