    New test instruments were developed to assess dietetics students' academic competency in core areas. The criterion-referenced tests evaluated skills in food, nutrition, disease nutrition, and management for professional readiness.

    Area of Science:

    • Dietetics Education
    • Academic Assessment
    • Professional Competency

    Background:

    • The American Dietetic Association established Minimum Academic Competencies for dietetics professionals.
    • Evaluating these competencies requires reliable and valid assessment tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and test criterion-referenced instruments for evaluating dietetics students' academic competencies.
    • To assess student mastery in key areas of dietetics.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of test criteria and mastery performance standards.
    • Creation and validation of two forms of a criterion-referenced test instrument.
    • Administration and evaluation of the test to dietetics students.

    Main Results:
