MULTI-LAYERED EVALUATION MODEL OF E-LEARNING IN SCOUT

student assessment
 1.diagnostic (SDASSJ quest.)
2. formative
3.summative

 

teacher assessment (self reports)
1. diagnostic (TDASS quest.)
2. formative (TFASS quest.)
diagnostic: find out what students already know about x, their motivation to learn.
formative: dynamic process oriented evaluation. It is feedback based. It is carried out while the learning process is under way.
summative: test-based and score-based end-of-unit evaluation.
 
decision-making  evaluation:

evaluation as decision-making monitoring sees evaluation as collaborative decision-making in unpredictable contexts. (responsive constructivistic evaluation - Stake & Guba, 1980)

focuses not so much on the end product of activities, rather on additional topic-unrelated learning that may turn up while the activity is ongoing. It focuses on opinion changes, attitude changes and personal development of the learning community by effect of the activity.
1.implicit - hidden : data collection with record of mainstream opinions and attitudes. monitoring tools: trainer reports, self-evaluation sheets -logs observation from external observers.
project evaluation: it refers to evaluation made before the learning  project is implemented. Such preliminary evaluation may be about:
an entire learning environment a single component of an already existing environment(ex: a specific course or module or a textbook and some software) a research path
key questions:
 how feasible is the project?
would the students be up to it?
would the tutors be up to it?
to what extent are students motivated to e-learn on theatre & culture?
2.responsive: active change in the planned course of the project if correction is needed. top
3.dynamic : the group decides to change strategies to achieve the same goals and introduces innovations.

quality criteria for e-learning: general factors

structure process evaluation
leadership self-monitoring evaluation of participation
human resource emotional scaffolding evaluation of what has been learnt
technology possibility for the learner to transfer his/her new knowledge to socially sustainable area of his/her personal life and to other career contexts
clarity of organization cost-benefit evaluation
efficacy of the proposed learning model
user-friendly  access
