Knowing What To Look For - Assessing Technology Implementation - CTSA 15Diana Benner
As a Campus Technology Specialist, it is critical that you are able to approximate the level of technology implementation of classroom learning experiences so as to make recommendations for potential professional development or modeling. Come learn strategies for assessing technology use in instructional units and learning activities.
Programmed instruction is a method of teaching using discrete units of information with a required correct response before advancing, characterized by clearly stated objectives, small frames of instruction, and self-pacing. It follows principles like determining final behaviors, providing immediate feedback, ensuring self-paced learning, and active participation. The way of programmed instruction is to teach subjects or tasks to groups in a sequence of steps to achieve educational goals. Its importance includes shifting education's focus to learner outcomes, enabling self-pacing and mastery learning, and requiring carefully constructed materials.
This study analyzed the online behavior of 22 students who completed interactive online tutorials as part of an introductory circuits class. The researchers found that most students repeated the tutorials multiple times to achieve perfect scores, with the average number of attempts being over 2 per tutorial. This suggests students sought mastery of the material. Total time spent on tutorials was significantly longer than the time spent on the final, graded attempt, further indicating that students repeated tutorials until getting all answers correct. The researchers concluded students used repetition to learn the material and ensure high scores, and that online tutorials can be an effective supplement to traditional education.
This document discusses the evaluation process in education. It explains that evaluation examines students' progress and helps teachers understand if their teaching methods are effective. While tests were traditionally used, technology now facilitates evaluation by providing digital tools and activities that offer a more diverse way to assess students and make the process easier for teachers.

The findings showed that most teachers attended trainings and implemented some new skills, but did not use technology to its fullest potential. The implications are that districts should provide better follow up support to help teachers fully utilize technology after trainings.
This document analyzes the effects of staff development trainings on teachers' use of technology in the classroom. It reviews literature on barriers to and outcomes of professional development opportunities. The author conducted surveys, focus groups, and observations of teachers involved in an education technology grant to understand their training experiences and technology integration. The findings showed that while teachers attended trainings and learned new skills, not all implemented the strategies in their teaching and more varied training options were needed to increase technology use.
This document describes the development of Android-based teaching materials to improve physics problem-solving skills. It discusses:
1. Conducting a needs analysis which found students had low interest in traditional learning and limited teaching materials.
2. Designing the materials which included creating learning objectives, content, examples, exercises, and media scripts.
3. Validating the materials with media and content experts who found the display, programming, content, and language to be valid.
4. Testing the materials on students which found their problem-solving abilities improved from an average pretest score of 40.24 to a posttest score of 70.16, showing the materials were effective.

Formative Assessment
Questions and answers
Questions will be asked as the lesson goes on and students asked to answer at random
Observation
Observe how students react to new concepts
Exit slips and admits slips
Questions will be administered and collected at the end of the lesson
Self-assessment
Students will be asked to reflect on their learning process
Group discussions
Students will be grouped to discuss what they have learned
Peer-assessment
Students will be asked to assess one another
Formative assessment refers to the techniques employed by teachers to undertake the in-process evaluation of the students’ grasp of a concept being taught (Black & William, 2009). A good formative assessment should be able to give feedback to the teacher on the students' comprehension, the learning needs and the progress made during the lesson or topic. The objective of the designed formative assessment will be to gather information and learning experiences that will be used to improve the learning process and make modifications where necessary.
As the lesson progresses, the teacher will pose questions to the students at different stages of Piaget's Cognitive Stages of Development and students will be selected to answer at random to test the individual grasp of the processes and characteristics involved in the different stages. Observation will be essential in evaluating the students' concentration levels and their reaction to the introduction of new concepts. Admit slips with questions on the previous lesson will be given at the start of the lesson to test the students' comprehension of the previous concepts learned. Exit slips with questions on the lesson of the day will also be given and collected at the end of the lesson to evaluate how the students faired during the lesson. The students will also be asked to undertake a self-assessment test on how they understood the concept. Group discussion will be encouraged for the students to also do peer-assessment on one another and come up with questions on areas that need clarification and ways to improve the learning process.
Summative Assessment
The following questions will be asked at the end of the topic to do a summative assessment of the students' grasp of the concept of Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
1. Is the rehearsal of information among different levels of school-going children an ability they develop as they age or is it a skill they acquire through formal education?
2. In your opinion, would a genius child reach the formal operational stage faster than a child of formal intelligence?
3. Does the environment have any influence on the progression through Piaget’s stages of cognitive development?
A summative assessment aims to test the students' grasp and comprehension of the whole concept (Garrison &Ehringhaus, 2007). At the end of the topic, the above questions will be given to the students and answers expected within a given ...
