Evaluation Design The evaluation design used for the youth transitioning from elementary school to middle school and middle school to high school was the Likert Scale design. The design was based on a three-point scale system of measurement. The following questions were used to properly measure the success of the group transitioning to the next grade level. • Very Helpful • Somewhat Helpful • Not Helpful The group had three separate meetings. The group first meeting consisted of the Initial stage. The facilitator informed the group the purpose of the group meeting, set the group rules for the group. The facilitator informed them that it was an open group and that any student could join the group (R. Toseland and R. Rivas, 2008). …show more content…
The facilitator also shared some study habits and tips that the group may want to utilize as they go forward. The facilitator informed the group that we will discuss during the final meeting if the study tips helped them during the 1st quarter. The facilitator informed them that every student will find and create their own study plan. The facilitator stated that there would be an evaluation to determine if the information shared among the group was very helpful, somewhat helpful or not helpful at all. The facilitator informed the group that their 1st progress report and report card will let them know if the study habits and tips shared among the group was successful. During the final stage and group meeting, the facilitator welcomed the group and greeted the group and informed them the purpose of the final meeting. The facilitator reminded the group of the ground rules established during the initial stage. The facilitator utilized the round robin to get feedback from each student reference to their experience of the group and their experience (R. Toseland and R. Rivas, 2008). The students shared their personal experience on what they experienced the 1st quarter of the grading period. The facilitator listened to the feedback from the students. There were a quite a few students indicated that the number one study tip were reviewing their notes and index cards was very helpful when it was time to take a test. The students also indicated that
What were the learning outcomes for the lesson? How did the learning outcomes meet the needs of individual students?
1.4 Explain why it is important to be clear about the purpose and desired outcomes for the group
In this group there were no disruptive members. I filled the role of an observer, I offered feedback at the end of the session. The counselor filled the role of standard setter. There was an encourager, a harmonizer, an expediter, and a follower.
What evidence will you gather at the beginning of the lesson, during the lesson, and/or at the end of the lesson that will show the extent to which the students have made progress toward the academic learning objective(s)? Attach rubric or scoring guide as appropriate.
Every participant should be clear about expectations and intentions of the group and about what is expected from her/him.
Based on your Week 3 collaborative learning team discussion, submit, individually, a 350- to 700-word summary of the
A description of the group purpose and setting, providing enough information to let the instructor understand the group set-up.
Planning- Mrs. Falchek and I discussed my lesson presentations and how I felt the students progressed throughout the notes. We also discussed the activity that I would be doing with the students
What have you learned from the assessment, guided reading, and tutoring experiences that you would be able to apply in your future classroom?
Students will work in collaborative groups to sort which information is needed, what can be acted out and what is not needed. (Which information do you think you can take out? Why? Is there anything you may be able to add to your part of the story? If so, why would you add it?)
After looking through the teacher’s comments and heading to the drawing board I revised my original thesis “Union, South Carolina needs to have more things for children of all ages to do alone and/or with their families; Building a community center, a theme park, or some other type of recreation will not only give them something to do as a family, but will also give them something to do other than playing games in the house, partying, committing crimes, and using their thumbs instead of their tongues”. Union, South Carolina needs to add an activity/recreational building to the community for the local kids and families. Many benefits will arise from doing so like the following: Giving families something to do together at
This mutual aid group is a closed group with a total of six weeks during which each member facilitates the group one time, and one person facilitates twice. Each person chooses a topic that has to do with the self –identity and facilities that group. It is anticipated that throughout the six weeks the group moves through the phases of group, but the pace at which the group moves through these phases depends upon the rate at which
Decisions need to be made before the group is put together. Groups go through stages. Knowing the stages of the group gives facilitators a chance to utilize suitable interventions. The first stage is the pregroup stage. Careful thought and planning goes into this stage to lay a solid foundation for the group. At this stage the group can be advertised, objectives are formed, membership is taken care of, rules are made, the time and place is chosen and the dynamics of the group is taken into consideration.
253 Chapter 6 Evaluation Research Design: Literature Reviews & Synthesis Frequently a research question or hypothesis can be answered through secondary research, i.e., a literature review or synthesis. Both strategies requires the researcher to mine existing data sources; ―pull out‖ relevant data or information; summarize it; logically analyze and/or statistically treat it; and report results. In many instances, the issue, problem, question, etc. which prompted the idea for an evaluation study is resolved or answered by studying and reporting previous research reports in the literature or synthesizing, either logically, statistically, or both, data drawn from existing databases. In program evaluation, it is often necessary to describe or
