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:
You did a good job here. You seem to understand the process very well.
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).

Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one):
Your final response:
The learners will be able to demonstrate how to compile a complete discipline report using Microsoft Excel.
The instructor's feedback to this step:
This has all the elements of a well written objective. Nice Job.

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.

| Experts (subject-matter, learning, learner) |
Your final response:
The experts, a panel of men/women from the State Department of Education will review the content for accuracy, clarity of language, and consistency.
|
Your final response:
The experts will be able to complete this task at their leisure before the instruction is delivered on August 1st.
|
Your final response:
They will review the content and compile a list of any material that may appear to be confusing to the learners. They will then compare the lists and make corrections to clarify the material.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
3 learners will be selected based on their knowledge of MS Excel. They have been categorized into one of the following levels: apprentice, practitioner, expert.
|
Your final response:
The one-on-one instruction will take place near the beginning of the learning process, but after a rough draft of what is to be taught has been generated.
|
Your final response:
The designer will, on an individual basis, guide the learners through the lesson, checking for areas where language and/or process may be confusing and clarifying the instructions through verbal feedback. A survey will be conducted at the end of the lesson to see how the learner felt about the clarity and consistency of the material.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, but I guess you can give more detail about what kinds of learners you will select. |
| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
Selection process for the small group will be done in a similar manner as was done for the individual instruction. The group will contain 6 learners and model the individual learners based on their prior knowledge of Excel.
|
Your final response:
The small group meeting shall occur one the individual session has been completed and data has been compiled.
|
Your final response:
Various techniques will be employed to assemble data. Assessments, surveys, interviews, and group interaction are the ones that have been chosen.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
| Learners: field trial |
Your final response:
The learners in the field test will assessing the instruction based on clarity, consistency, and their ability to use MS Excel.
|
Your final response:
This will occur once the all of the data has been collected and the final instruction has been designed.
|
Your final response:
The instrucion will occur mostly in the computer lab, as that is the setting where future instructin will take place. Similar techniques to those in the small group will be used to guide and teach the material.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
