The need to evaluate course materials developed by the |
|
High School Geography Project led to the development of |
|
an evaluation strategy. Test data was of little use in |
|
identifying problems or in suggesting revisions in |
|
curriculum, but questionnaire information was useful in |
|
rating the effectiveness of the material. There are four |
|
critical stages in this evaluation strategy: the |
|
organizational stage, (identification of the key |
|
elements); the criteria stage (questionnaires on |
|
interest, effectiveness, significance, clarity, and |
|
sufficiency); interpretation (when judgments must be made |
|
about levels of positive response); and, finally, |
|
directive reporting of the results that makes clear the |
|
changes needed in the materials. Although the |
|
effectiveness of this strategy can be assessed by |
|
obtaining positiveness scores on a revised unit, a more |
|
significant possibility would be the development of norms |
|
by which to interpret questionnaire responses. However, |
|
the first method has indicated gains in student interest |
|
on 14 activities, all but 3 being significant. (PR) |
