Overall Instructor Rating: Exemplary
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:
Overall, I think this IDA is well-written and well thought-out.
Just as a general note to 6170 students that in your IDA’s, keep in mind that the Dick and Carey model asks us to make revisions at each step in the formative evaluation process, before continuing to the next step. (We realize that you may not do this for your team project because of the limitations of the assignment.)
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:
Given a pupil's results on diagnostic testing the the student will be able to identify areas of pupil weaknesses on the GHSGT.
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Very good.

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:
I will have three experts review the lesson for the following issues:
1. content
2. clarity of instruction
3. quality of materials used
I will use as experts three individuals from the State Department of Education who work in the creation and development of the GHSGT program.
In terms of content the experts will be looking at the strength of the materials taught. For clarity of instruction they will be examining the way the instruction flows, is it easy to follow? Finally for quality of materials used they will be ensuring that all materials are of appropriate quality for instruction.
|
Your final response:
The instruction will be completed based on the time frame available to them. The tentative time frame is that they will be able to complete of the new school year.the overview by August 1 in time for modifications to be made before the start
|
Your final response:
There will be several methods used in to enable the experts to provide feedback. Firstly, the experts will be provided with a checklist sheet for each area being evaluated which will guide the review process. Secondly, each expert will be interviewed one-on-one to get any final feedback and suggestions.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good. "When" column could be clearer - just some misplaced text/omissions |
| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
Three learners will be selected for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the instruction. The learners will be selected based on their prior experience and comfort with the GHSGT and diagnosing student weaknesses: novice, average, experienced.
|
Your final response:
The one-on-one sessions will take place after the initial development of the instruction.
|
Your final response:
The instructional designer will sit with the participants as they go through each phase of the instruction. The designer will record areas where the instruction is confusing and help the learner when questions arise. Furthermore, when the learner has completed all of the instruction a final interview will take place to determine if there are other areas of concern or areas with a need for clarification.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Excellent. |
| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
This focus group will be comprised of about six learners who will also evaluate the lesson for effectiveness of instruction. This group should closely match the target audience of high school teachers with varying degrees of experience with the GHSGT.
|
Your final response:
This small group evaluation will take place after the one-on-one evaluation's corrections and modifications have been made.
|
Your final response:
Methods used in this phase include allowing the learners to go through the lessons and complete surveys on the experience. As well as a post-test and interviews at the end of the process.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
No specific feedback given on this step. |
| Learners: field trial |
Your final response:
The learners in the field test will be looking at the effectiveness of instruction and completing an evaluation on the process. These learners will be in the first class offered and are the actual target audience.
|
Your final response:
The field test will occur after all other evaluations have been completed and corrections have been made.
|
Your final response:
The evaluation will take place in the course of a regular lesson and regular instruction. Similar to the small group evaluation, assessments used will include surveys, post-test, and interviews.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Very good. Will you have enough time to interview all participants in the field test? |
