Dr. Mark Frederick has been interested in
assessment instrument design throughout his
professional career, beginning with the co-creation
of The College Student Self-Efficacy
Assessment, which was the center point of
his doctoral dissertation and The College
Transfer Student Self-Efficacy Instrument.
In his position as Director of Assessment in the
Office of Research and Effectiveness for the
Division of Student Affairs at Indiana State
University, he saw a need for a valid and reliable
instrument that would effectively measure holistic
student growth, learning and development from the
students’ perspective. Working with Dr. Will
Barratt, the UniLOA was developed that seeks to
inform higher education faculty, staff, and
administrators of students’ behaviors and how those
behaviors impact their own educational experience.
Mark served in the private sector as a Nursing
Facility Administrator and a case worker in
community mental health before he engaged his
graduate studies, which led him to the field of
education. During his formal graduate academic
training he served in a variety of practicum
placements, including the Indiana State University
Counseling Center, the Indiana Rural Health Family
Practice Residency Program, the Indiana State
University Sports Consultancy Program and a
fellowship in the Office of Institutional Research
and Planning at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
He completed his year long, pre-doctoral counseling
internship at the Southern Illinois University
Student Counseling Center.
While serving as a career counselor at Indiana
State University, he was instrumental in the
introduction of a developmental model aimed at
promoting career counseling services to
undergraduate college students early in their
academic experience. He wrote, produced, and
presented the 8-hour video series “Introduction to
the Theories of Career Counseling” and has presented
programs at national and international conferences
regarding student development.
