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:
Lesson Objective: The SWBAT demonstrate how to use internet researching capabilities by completing a directed internet research project in thirty minutes.
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.
Who |
What |
When |
How |
| Experts (subject-matter, learning, learner) |
Your final response:
The experts will review the lesson for the following:
1. content
2. technical accuracy
3. quality
The content review will help enforce correct information being taught (ie. which search engines to use). Technical accuracy will ensure no errors in directions are written (ie. to type a boolean search using {}). Quality will be checked to allow for effective and fluid instruction.
|
Your final response:
To be reviewed on the experts' time, but before the one-on-one evaluations.
|
Your final response:
SMEs will be interviewed during and after the viewing of the lesson to reduce abnormalities in instruction by receiving quick feedback.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
| Learners: one-to-one |
Your final response:
Three sample learners of the target audience (novice, limited, and intermediate in the subject) will evaluate the lesson for 'learnability.'
|
Your final response:
To occur shortly after the experts advice and revision, but still early in the design process.
|
Your final response:
The learner will go through instruction, with the designer there, to assess confusion or questions the learner might have.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
| Learners: small-group |
Your final response:
Eight to ten members of the target audience will be evaluating the 'learnability' of the instruction.
|
Your final response:
This will occur after the SME and one-on-ones. This will occur after the project has established prototypes.
|
Your final response:
Assessments will be used through post-instruction surveys and interviews.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
| Learners: field trial |
Your final response:
Between 25-30 learners from the target audience will be using the *projected* final design.
|
Your final response:
The field test will occur after the design is complete.
|
Your final response:
Evaluation will take place in an setting where the instruction will take place. Assessments will be made through surveys and group feedback.
|
The instructor's feedback to this step:
Good, this is well done. |
