Now I've reached the final part of my special project... or not? After a successful implementation of The ALS Student as an Ethical Digital Citizen, I am finally ready to get major feedback from my gatekeeper. I said "major" because I ask for regular feedback in between every phase, from the needs analysis until the implementation. Such mechanism is vital to help me know the strengths and weaknesses of my decisions and to help me make iterations along the way.
The evaluation sheet I designed is based on Kirkpatrick's Model (Kurt, 2018), which considers four different levels of evaluating instruction: the reaction of the learners and the gatekeeper, the ALS students' learning, a change in their behavior, and actual results for the organization and individuals. The evaluation material has different short descriptions under it. For instance, under the learning level, one thing to be evaluated is whether "the digital ethics oath, reflective questions, and self-assessment encouraged reflective and critical thinking" or not. I wouldn't say it's a rubric because there are no clear descriptions for the scale. I only used "strongly disagree," "disagree," "neutral," "agree," and "strongly agree."
One weakness of this evaluation sheet is the fact that it was not distributed to the learners. Instructional designers should get feedback from the learners because they experienced the instruction first-hand. However, I already got feedback from them the moment we finished the live group session (Appendix G).
You can find out more about my evaluation sheet and the evaluation results on the Main Narrative and Synthesis part of my eportfolio. And you can see the actual document on Appendix F.
For now, I am trying to improve the instructional material I made based on the evaluation of my gatekeeper. Then, I will be sending it back to her so it will be available for the ALS students' use next school year.
