Discovering Instructional Design 5: Stages in the Affective Taxonomy

May 27th, 2009 · No Comments

Goal statements reflect the instructional designer’s empathy for the learner’s motivation and attitudes, which should enhance the outcome of the lesson.

Guidelines for Evaluating Training Programs

April 7th, 2008 · No Comments

An advantage of the retrospective pre-test model is that it can assist in addressing some of the gaps exposed by the lack of range-of-transfer of learning metrics provided by a Level 2 analysis of learners: in effect – to borrow a phrase from Jens Bjornavold – “make learning visible” (2004, p.64). This is essential, because [...]

Assessing learning programs: advantages and disadvantages of the pre-test design

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

When choosing to integrate the retrospective pre-test design method into your learning program evaluation and measurement methodology, the selection must take place in the after very carefully evaluating arguments both for and against its utility. The method has many advantages for the practitioner-researcher (see Table 1) but one must be cognisant of the threats to [...]

Evaluating learning initatives: the Retrospective Pretest Design

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

The Retrospective Pre-test method is an interesting if controversial data collection design. I will examine its advantages and negative aspects here, as well as an argument for including this strategy in in assessing organisational learning initiatives. The retrospective pre-test method (see Table 1 is an extension of the one-shot case study design where data are [...]

Evaluating Non-formal e-learning initatives: Case Study Techniques

April 1st, 2008 · No Comments

As I asserted in a previous post, case studies allow naturalistic methods of enquiry such as individual interviews to be carried out, side-by-side with quantitative data gathering from surveys, archival records, server access logs and so on.
Interestingly in discussing the flexibility of the case study design, Yin (1994, p.285) contends that in the future, researchers [...]
