Program evaluation

Planning Models Patti Maisner Kaplan University Introduction Evaluation models measure the worth and impact of an intervention or program, done by asking questions, assessing steps, and getting feedback; all which will lead to improvements in the program. Major sections to evaluate are: implementation, effectiveness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and attribution. All of the above have the potential to save resources, including lives. One popular model is the PRECEDE-PROCEDE model…

Of course, summative evaluation can also be embedded into the game. Solve a 4x4 matrix to kill the Demogorgon. It personal, an instructor or if money permits, hey we got money use an AI to determine the next challenge the student needs to encounter. Allow me to clarify one point…

All three students have strengths in being very observant in class. This notifies me that I need to engage the class is a discussion. A debate or Socratic seminar might work best for this class and especially these three students because of how vocal they are. However, their weaknesses and the ways in which these three learn are very different. I would never be able to pair Aiden and Logan because Aiden is dependent on another person, and Logan is independent and works best by working alone.…

Section 4: Differentiating Instruction through Technology When considering the importance of a student-centered classroom an educator must remember that “it is not about what the teacher is doing or what the teacher has done; it’s about what the students are doing and what the students can do in the future”. (Tarte, 2013) Education within school has certainly changed quickly these days. The way an educator once believed that students should be sitting quietly as the teacher stood up in front of…

Learning Analytics Reflection Learning analytics is described as ‘‘the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs‘‘ (Long & Siemens, 2011, p. 33). The process of measuring, collecting, analyzing, and reporting started way back in the 1900s. Shavelson (2007) illustrated that standardized testing started in 1916, when the University of Missouri decided to…

Off the top of my head it 's not likely that I think about specific things like what I believe in. in truth it actually takes time to stop and pause and think, I strongly value family. The values assessment helped to get a better understanding of myself which is weird. Being the only person with me 24/7 should be an indicator that I must know myself but actually don 't. It 's easy to…

The use of assessment and why we do it. The information we get from assessment is extremely valuable. It 's not just a score but also quantitative data on how much of the material tested has been mastered by the student (Ronan, 2015). Information from these assessments are used to help educators guide and determine the path of instructional approaches they see as best for their students given what they already know about a topic and what blank spots need to be filled in. This helps teachers to…

artifact some individual reads concerning the differences and relationships among educational assessments and evaluations, may be entirely dissimilar. Summarizing these two distinct yet similar processes has been an exposé for me. When approaching this project, I did find numerous articles and books that have been written and appeared very parallel regarding learning assessments and evaluation. After widespread exploration, I did find several books and articles that echo variances and…
