  1. ISTE Assessment and Technology ForumClassroom ObservationAssessment Tools Doug Danniell ISTE Helen Padgett Arizona State University

  2. Learning Objectives • Understanding of the importance of classroom observations in assessing technology integration by teachers and students • Learning about the strengths and weaknesses of different classroom observation methodologies

  3. Question: With the NCLB legislation’s emphasis on the importance of “evidence-based decision making and scientifically-based educational practices, what role does classroom observation data play in documenting the impact of those practices and the technologies on teaching and learning within classrooms?

  4. Scientifically-Based Research The Six Critical Words • 1. Rigorous • 2. Systematic • 3. Objective • 4. Reliable • 5. Valid • 6. Relevant

  5. Observing Classroom Performance Chapter 6 - pp. 111- 133 • Advantage of classroom observations is their face validity • Challenge of classroom observations is in reliably recording and communicating what is observed

  6. INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY OBSERVATION INSTRUMENT Observation Example 1 pp. 113-126 Arizona State University West

  7. Assumptions The instrument must have certain characteristics The instrument itself should: a. Answer the core question: Has this teacher integrated technology in an appropriate way? b. Be adaptable to multiple instructional settings c. Be suited to a 30-60 minute observation d. Possess high inter-rater reliability e. Be sensitive to the developmental process of teachers learning to integrate technology

  8. Assumptions • Started with an existing instrument • Mike Timms, WestEd, Center for Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning • Time sampling • Elaborated on the types of technology that might be observed • Internet to Library Ecard Catalogs The most critical feature: Defining integration The instrument must reflect technology integration, which is observable.

  9. Integration of Technology Observation Instrument (ITOI) 1. Pre-Observation Form 2. Timed Interval Observations 3. Post-Observation Conference Form

  10. Integration of Technology Observation Instrument (ITOI) • Classroom Organization • Individuals - Pairs • Small groups - Whole class • Teacher Role • Telling/Lecturing - Interactive directions • Modeling - Facilitating/coaching • Managing behavior or materials

  11. Integration of Technology Observation Instrument (ITOI) • Teacher Use of Technology • To present information • To model a skill to a large group • For grading, attendance, or materials production • To retrieve information • Not using

  12. Integration of Technology Observation Instrument (ITOI) • Student Use of Productivity Tools • Word processing, publication software • Presentation software • Spreadsheet - Database • Authoring Programs • Graphics or graphic organizers • Web Authoring - Hardware • Other - None

  13. Integration of Technology Observation Instrument (ITOI) • Student Use of Subject Specific Tools • Student Use of Communication Tools • Student Use of Research Tools • Purpose of Research Tools • Students’ Level of Technical Skills

  14. SNAPSHOT ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT Observation Example 3 pp. 129 - 133

  15. The Snapshot Assessment: • Allows for comparison of technology use across classrooms and over time • Is simple and easy to use • Provides data of only moderate quality • Provides data that are time-period specific
