DEVELOPED PLANNING
27. Program evaluation
Tools to assess the program:
● Questionnaires for students and families
● Daily observation and analysis
● Percentages related to participation
● Interview with the school community
Assessment results:
Questionnaires for students and families. We wanted to know whether the program had the intended effect and how to improve it. Also,
we have taken into account school opinions, further influences, and impact in the community. Students and parents have suggested new
activities and they have mentioned the program as a good experience that they would repeat.
Daily observations and analysis. We have paid particular attention to those items related to BASIC COMPETENCES, such as, developing
oral conversations (linguistic competence), solving daily problems with the hosting families (personal initiative competence), trying to learn
from mistakes (learning to learn competence), sharing different experiences and cultures (social and civic competence), and creating
cooperative online projects (digital competence).
Program cost per participant. We were satisfied with the final cost. Students have paid part of the cost of the program. They have raised
money by doing different activities. We have also reciveb some money from the school and some money from Laracha´s Council. After all,
participants agree in the good price for the programme.
Interview with school community. Families, students and faculty members have stated that the program is worthwhile because we had the
opportunity to become familiar with a new culture, country and way of living. They have realized “We are not so different”, they have
reduced their prejudices, and they have gained tolerance. However, some students found it hard to get along with their partners due to
different personalities.
Improvements:
We would like to improve the online cooperative projects by focusing on oral tasks. We will have our students share video recorded
projects where they can show their partners their personality, their interests, and their way of life. We think this will contribute to a better
knowledge of each other so that we can make couples that work better. As a result the project will have less problems when they are
visiting each other.
