Instructional Design and Technology blog Evaluation Models

Chapter 10 discusses evaluation in instructional design and provides you with two evaluation models, the CIPP and Kirkpatrick models for evaluation.

A.      Search for at least two other models used for evaluation and summarize these models.

A logic model is a systematic and visual way to present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your program, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve.  

Describe how you would use them to evaluate your instruction.

I would use this model to evaluate a program that would be used as an intervention for our low performing students.
 Reflect on what other questions that instructional design evaluation should address besides whether the instructional design leads to comparable amounts of learning and learner satisfaction as traditional methods
Time constraints would the question to the program.


B.      The EFQM Excellence Model is based on nine criteria.  Five of these are "Enablers" and four are "Results".  The "Enabler" criteria cover what an organization does and how it does it.  The "Results" criteria cover what an organization achieves.
  In the EFQM Excellence Model, these are called the Enablers.  If the right Enablers are effectively implemented, an organization will achieve the Results they, and their stakeholders, expect.

Describe how you would use them to evaluate your instruction.
It provides a common language that enables our members to effectively share their knowledge and experience, both inside and outside their own organization. It ensures that all the management practices used by an organization form a coherent system that is continually improved and delivers the intended strategy for the organization. I could see this as a tool to check how the principals and lead teachers view the programs for after school enrichment.

Reflect on what other questions that instructional design evaluation should address besides whether the instructional design leads to comparable amounts of learning and learner satisfaction as traditional methods
Honesty in responses would be the issue.



Chapters 12 & 13 focus on project management and how to manage projects when resources are scarce. You have been assigned to develop a series of professional development sessions focusing on technology use in the classroom for teachers during a time of economic decline.
Day 1
Professional Development
Topic Why Integrate?  Give a Pretest about the uses of technology in our daily lives.(teacher created) Use a video to introduce the topic.  Look at data of student performances about the integration of technology into the educational classroom.  (You tube for videos)
Day 2
What is technology integration defined in teacher terms?  Introduce blogs; I pad lessons, cell phone lessons, face to face lesson online etc.
Have them create a lesson integrating technology into a vertical lesson plan. 
Day 3
Have either the technology teacher or a teacher that has had no problem integrating technology into the class teach the teachers effective websites and teach a grade appropriate lesson to the teachers.

How will you use Situational Leadership to facilitate this project and manage scarce resources? 
Depending on the years of teaching experience and the knowledge of the topic I would delegate the workshop the leadership team to take control after meeting with them before and listening and practicing the workshop before teaching it to give my personal input of clarity.

  1. I am not sure I understand how the logic model would work, but it sounds like the EFQM Excellence Model would be great for cooperative teaching. If your goal is to improve your fifth grade STAAR scores, your whole grade level team could implement common practices to reinforce vocabulary, math skills and writing abilities and improve your test results across the board. I would expect students to respond well to a unified approach from all their teachers.
    Our district has a team of 'tech-savvy' teachers that meet occasionally and discuss new things, training needs, etc. We are available to help out on our own campuses as needed and often offer training classes for things we use implement in our classrooms. I am considering offering a Schoology training exercise because it has greatly decreased my classroom's paper consumption. Not only does using Schoology make testing and grading easier, it lowers school costs by decreasing the amount of copies I have to make for my students.

  2. Hi Leisa,
    I found the EFQM Excellence model to be very interesting. The Enablers seem like they are basically motivators in the organization. If this is true, I have been in a couple of organizations that could have really used a few Enablers. In both cases, the organization would have definitely achieved better results. I also liked your 3 day project management plan. The introduction on day one of why integrate, would have motivated more teachers mainly because sometimes people want to know why they are doing something instead just being told to comply with the latest technological advances. Very nicely!
    Thanks
    David

  3. Hi Leisa,

    I have not heard of the logic model. What are some examples of the visuals you would use? I would love to hear more about that. I could see how the EFQM Excellence model would be useful in helping with communication within an organization. I am not sure who the Enablers would be. Is that an assigned role or based on who took on the role naturally? When you discussed your professional development I think that could be beneficial to give your teachers say in what they create lessons using. My district gave all teachers opportunities to choose our technology professional development online. That way we were able to focus on technology that we would use in our classes and create lessons applicable to our classes. I really enjoyed having a say in the classes I took. I could definitely see how this would promote teacher buy in.
