Overview and Justification
We decided to implement the Kirkpatrick Model of Evaluation to guide our evaluation questions and ensure we are effectlvey identifying the main strengths and weaknesses to address.
Reaction
What are students’ early reactions to the platform?
What are potential reservations and concerns do students have to impact their learning?
This will help improve design and enhance student experience
Usability test: we will conduct a usability test with 3 learners, using a combination of observation and interview.
Observations and interviews will provide the team with insight on the experience on the platform.
Learning
What conflict resolution skills do students develop from the practice scenarios and role playing activities?
Did the learners increase their understanding of the problem-solving techniques?
This will help identify what knowledge and skills learners learn after the learning journey.
Learner Interviews: Students will engage in one-on-one sessions where they will discuss their experiences regarding the skills they've gained to measure the effectiveness of our instructional design.
Behavior
Are students confident in trying learned skills outside of the classroom?
This will help find out if the learners are taking what they learn and applying it to their real relationships.
Learner Interviews
Collecting quantitative data based on computerized testing of a large sample of users.
Result
Have student incidents decreased?
How have student relationships improved with teacher, peers, and parents?
This will help identify if the learning outcomes match the learning objectives/goals.
Observe students in a classroom environment over a year-basis. Participants can be assessed based on classroom attention and collaboration.
Evaluation Plan
Participants will be simulated students from grades 6-12.
Student counselors and mentors.
