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 Peggy:
Your evaluation plan is very logical and should be effective in gathering formative evaluation data from each of the groups you described. I do have a few suggestions for making it even better:
Additional data sources:
You should consider asking some specific and open-ended questions to your participants related to the effectiveness of the materials and their overall learning experience. If you can get them to talk you often learn unanticipated things about the instruction that could provide some insight into how to structure it better or improve aspects of it to make it more enjoyable and effective to the learner.
Categories of questions:
Your plan would also benefit from more description of the types of data you plan to gather with each group. For example, what are the broad categories of questions you would ask about the instruction in each of the 4 phases to help inform you about what needs to be addressed or revised? A few examples may be the sequencing of objectives/content, pacing (too fast, too slow), did the learners feel there was enough practice or that it contributed to their learning the objectives, did the assessments show learner acheivement of the objectives, were the illustrations helpful or not, etc.
You do not need to resubmit this IDA but if you do I will review it and provide feedback and adjust your score accordingly.

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).
Formative Evaluation Planning Worksheet
Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
Given appropriate materials (valid food-identification, RDA, and Glycemic-Index URLs; 2 sample labels from processed foods; a sample fact sheet; and a blank fact sheet),
SWBAT (audience) classify (LCV-"Concepts") 80% of the ingredients on each label, according to RDA and Glycemic Index, to generate (LCV-"Problem-solving") a fact sheet for each label.

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:
The experts will evaluate the lesson in three areas: content, technical accuracy, and quality of instruction. The experts asked to evaluate this lesson will be a school cafeteria director, a home economics teacher, and a dietician.
1) They will evaluate the content of the lesson to determine if the material is accurate and if the major nutritional components are being included.
2) They will evaluate the technical aspect of the lesson by reviewing the websites that will be used, and the format of the worksheets.
3) They will evaluate the lesson’s overall quality to make sure the instruction is effective and efficient.

Your final response:
The evaluations will occur one month before the one-to-one evaluation, to allow time for any needed revisions and re-evaluation by the experts.

Your final response:
Three fifth-grade students will be selected for this evaluation. A mix of above-average, average, and below-average students will be selected. The students will do the lesson and provide feedback regarding its clarity, difficulty (is pre-instruction needed?), and amount of time needed to complete.

The instructional designer will sit with each student while he/she completes the lesson and make note of any difficulties. The student will be asked to make comments directly on the lesson materials and/or on a comment form. After the student completes the lesson, the designer will tell the student how much his/her help is appreciated in making the lesson design better, and ask for feedback.
