Evaluation of Instructional Technologies, Programs CYS Technology I
Assessment versus Evaluation • We assess student performance • We evaluate • instruction • product • implementation
Two Questions • Is this working? • How can I make this better?
Formative versus Summative • Formative evaluation: conducted during instruction/implementation • Summative evaluation: conducted after instruction/implementation
AEIOU Model of Evaluation • Accountability • Effectiveness • Impact • Organizational Context • Unanticipated Outcomes Fortune & Keith (1992), Sweeney (1995), Sorensen (1996)
Tools/Resources of the Evaluator • Documents • Surveys • Interviews • Focus groups • Observations
Two Types of Evaluation • Informal/internal evaluation • Formal/external evaluation
Evaluation Versus Research • Evaluation = “research lite”? • Differences in: • impetus to conduct • who frames the questions • audience for results
The Next Step • Evaluation should lead to revision. • First revision largest.
