Overall Instructor Rating: Satisfactory
Ratings explanation:
- Exemplary - A model answer in almost every way (this is given out very rarely).
- Satisfactory - Very well done; you've met the expectations of the assignment. There are some minor problems, so read my feedback well.
- Marginal Pass - You pass, but there are lots of issues to consider. Read my feedback very carefully and be sure you understand the points/issues I raise.
- Not satisfactory, redo and resubmit - The assignment was not completed appropriately. I am concerned that you do not understand the process well enough yet. To get credit for the assignment, you need to redo it, most probably on another topic. Read and consider my feedback very carefully before redoing.
Instructor's Overall Feedback:
Hi, Anna
You did a great job on this IDA. You have a good formative evaluation plan for your instruction. Each evaluation has concrete and distinctive purposes and methods to improve your design of instruction.
Keep up with the good work.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Eun Jung
The objective of this activity is to plan for the formative evaluation of your instruction. As stated by Dick, Carey, and Carey (2001): "Formative evaluation is the process designers use to obtain data that can be used to revise their instruction to make it more efficient and effective. The emphasis in formative evlauation is on the collection and analysis of data and the revision of the instruction" (p. 284-285).
Using the lesson you have described in the IDA on lesson design, complete the Formative Evaluation Planning Worksheet. Using the table below, describe:
- Who will do the ongoing evaluation;
- What is being evaluated;
- When the evaluation should occur; and
- How the evaluation will be conducted (i.e. tools you will use)
Be sure to refer to Dick, Carey, and Carey Chapter 10 for specific information that can be gathered from experts (e.g. subject-matter, learning, and learner) and learners in different formative evaluation situations (e.g. one-to-one, small-group, and field trials).

HTML formatting reminder: You can embed HTML tags directly in your responses. This will be help your buddies and the instructor view your information in a more readable fashion. For example, if you want a paragraph break somewhere, just enter <p>:
I will have the experts review the lesson on three levels:
<p>
1. content; 2. technical accuracy; 3. quality of instruction.
<p>
The content review will help ensure that no mistakes were made in the information provided to the learners.

Your final response:
Experts will review the lesson for the following:
1. Content
2. Technical Accuracy
3. Quality of Instruction
The Content Review will help ensure that no mistakes have been made in the information provided in the instruction. The Technical Accuracy Review will let us know if the technical resources (websites) provide the correct information for adding chemicals into a fish aquarium. The Quality of Instruction review will let us know if the instruction is effective and efficient.

Your final response:
Experts will receive all instructional materials (pamphlet, websites) prior to the evaluation.
All expert reviews will be completed before the one-to-one reviews begin.

Your final response:
The evaluation will be conducted through a checklist and a questionnaire. The checklist will be a guide for experts during the evaluation of instruction and the instructional materials. The questionnaire will be given to the experts after the instruction is completed.
Additional interviews with the experts may be conducted after reviewing the checklists and questionnaires.

| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
Two sample learners will be selected for the evaluation of the "learnability" of the instruction.
One learner will have no experience with fish aquariums and the other learner will have been working at a fish store for 6 months.

Your final response:
The designer will sit with each learner as he goes through the instruction (pamphlet and website). The learner will be encourage to ask questions where he is unsure about what step would come next or how to perform a step. The designer will make note of the places in the process where clarification was needed.
A questionnaire will be provided for the learner after the session for the learner to describe in more detail why steps were unclear.

| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
The small group of learners will be evaluated on the "learnability" of the instruction. The small group will consist of 5-6 learners who have very little experience with fish aquariums.

Your final response:
The small group evaluation will be conducted after revisions from the one-to-one sessions have been made.

Your final response:
The small group evaluation will follow the same format as the one-to-one evaluation. However, an interview ill be conducted with the group after the session. This will be the last opportunity for learners to express concerns or a lack of understanding.
