Introduction The unit 'AED5008 — Evaluation' is an introduction to evaluation for educational purposes, particularly language education. Students attempting this unit will investigate what evaluation is, what `quality' is, and the main purposes of, uses of and approaches to evaluation. They will specifically investigate:

language program evaluation, language teacher evaluation, and language teaching and learning materials evaluation.

This will be done within the frameworks already used in the units ̀ AED5100 — Educational Research Design and Methods' and `AED5009 - Innovation' The concepts related to evaluation will be investigated through the study of a range of language education contexts, but will specifically focus on the evaluation of the teaching of English as a Foreign Language.

This unit is particularly suitable for those undertaking the MTESOL program by coursework in Vietnam.

Learning Outcomes Aims To introduce current theories of evaluation V. To develop an understanding of the major underpinning constructs related to

evaluation To develop an understanding of the ethical issues involved in evaluation

To critically evaluate `Western' evaluation practices

V To analyse previous evaluation practices, processes, methods and purposes of evaluation in relation to the Vietnamese EFL context

To emphasise the importance and relevance of the concept of 'teacher as researcher

/ evaluator' to improve language programs, classroom practices and student learning To emphasise the importance and relevance of empirically based evaluation practices To emphasise the importance and relevance of the use of reflective practices in language program evaluation, teacher evaluation and materials evaluation

Objectives At the conclusion of this unit of study, students will be able to: v State the major differences between evaluation and assessment Use both formative and summative evaluation techniques to produce an evaluation

mechanism or instrument Develop evaluation instruments related to language program evaluation, language teaching materials evaluation or language teacher evaluation Evaluate a range of evaluation models

- 7 -

Use experimental, goal oriented, decision-focused, user oriented or responsive evaluation techniques relevant to specific contexts

Demonstrate understanding of the importance of ethics in evaluation investigations Use previously studied research methods to develop and orally present a research

based evaluation report.

Format This unit will be conducted in 'burst' mode. There will be 10 lectures / workshops of at least 3 hours and 36 minutes duration each day over 10 days from Monday to Saturday in the first week and from Monday to Thursday in the second week. During the 'Evaluation Presentations' an extra 24 minutes will be added to the length of each session.

The dates of the lectures will be notified to students or are available on the program website: http://aehd.pbworks.com

Assessment information

English language levels If a lecturer considers that a student does not have the required English language level to successfully complete a unit of study, this student will be referred to the course coordinator. The coordinator will discuss this with the student. If the coordinator agrees with the lecturer, the student will be given the following two choices:

Option 1: Students can take leave of absence from their studies, without financial penalty, until their language level is of the required standard as determined by the course coordinator, or Option 2: If identified students wish to continue to study in the course, they must provide evidence of an official (ie. UCLES / British Council / IDP) IELTS assessment (or equivalent) where this assessment indicates that they have an average rank of at least 7.0 with no band less than 6.0 (or equivalent).

Students are reminded of the English language admission requirements into this course: Requirement 1: Completion of any Victoria University (VU) approved Graduate Diploma in TESOL where the standard of English required for entry into the Graduate Diploma was IELTS (Academic) 6.0 with no subtest less than 6, or equivalent (as assessed by VU) and the medium of instruction for the Graduate Diploma was English or Requirement 2: IELTS (Academic) 7.0 with no subtest less than 6.0 or equivalent (as assessed by VU).

The rationale of the three main assessment tasks for the three units in the MTESOL course The main aim of each of the main assessment tasks for each of the units in the course is for students to use what they learn during the two weeks of coursework to continue their learning while they are completing the assessment tasks.

All of the assessment tasks in this course are meant to be assessment FOR learning as well as assessment OF learning.

The main assessment tasks for each of the units are directly related to the content of the unit, the work students do in their workplaces and to each other.

The first main assessment task, after the completion of the 'Research Methods' unit, requires students to analyze and discuss recent research literature related to an identified work related research topic. Students are expected to develop a literature review using research-based articles The second main assessment task for the first unit of study requires students to appraise and discuss the research methods used in selected research articles. Students are expected to describe and critically analyse the research methods used to research their area of interest. To complete this second task, it is suggested that

students use the research articles analyzed for the first assessment task, ie. the literature review about a language teaching concern that they currently have where they work. These first two main assessment tasks mean that students are:

expected to read about what has previously been written about their chosen topic of interest, and

write about how this topic has previously been researched.

The main assessment task for the second unit, 'Innovation', requires students to extend the ideas developed during the first unit's main assessment tasks. Students are expected to complete a research project about the innovation processes involved during the implementation of possible solutions to the teaching concern identified in the first assessment tasks. This means that students are required to implement an innovation and then research what occurs as a result of this implementation of innovative practices or materials. They are expected to use or refer to the literature they read and the methods they analysed for the first unit assessment tasks as a starting point for their own innovation and research for the second unit assessment task. Students are expected to use the research skills developed in the first unit of study (AED5100 Education Research Design and Methods) to complete the main assessment task for the second unit of study (AED5009 Innovation). Students are expected to research the innovation processes and products during the implementation of the proposed solutions to the identified teaching concern.

The third unit, 'Evaluation', requires students to evaluate their reading, their research analyses and their innovations. Students are required to formally present this evaluation of these results and recommendations to their colleagues and lecturers. Students are also expected to work collegially to complete a critique of a current evaluative mechanism. This second assessment task for the Evaluation unit requires students to work in groups to adapt an evaluative mechanism for the Vietnamese context.

These assessment tasks are designed: To be related to the content of each unit in the course To help students develop professionally as teachers and researchers To attempt to solve existing workplace problems To gain higher status from colleagues in the workplace, and To use what has been learnt to solve problems about teaching concerns.

If students are unsure about any aspect of their assessment requirements, they should carefully and completely read and re-read the information in the unit 'Study Guides' about the required assessment tasks. Students should also visit the program website to look at samples of students' previous assignments. While at this website they should investigate the links to other sources of information related to the successful completion of the required assessment tasks. Students are expected to contact their lecturer if they are unsure. Alternative assessment tasks may be able to be negotiated depending on each student's specific circumstances. Students are encouraged to use the 'Vietnam MTESOL' website to read examples of previously completed assessment tasks and to view video examples of previously completed presentations: http://aehd.pbworks.com

Assessment grading for AED5008: Evaluation 1. Attendance and completion of daily tasks (see attached criteria) 5%

2. Group development of a contextually appropriate course evaluation instrument OR a materials evaluation instrument OR a teacher evaluation instrument. (The requirements for this task are outlined below and will be further discussed in class.)

35%

3. Individual formal presentation to the class The presentation will be the evaluation of the processes, outcomes and implications of the work done during and after the completion of the required assignments for the 'Research Methods' and 'Innovation' units (ie. the presentation is an evaluation of the previous main assessment tasks).

60%

Evaluation instrument assessment task This assessment task is the group or collegial modification or development of an evaluation instrument or checklist suitable for use in the Vietnamese context.

Students are required to select a currently available evaluation checklist, or develop their own, and indicate how the items in the checklist would be appropriate for use in the Vietnamese context.

This task will require students to: (1) Work in a group of at least 4 people (maximum 6 people). (2) Select a group leader. (3) Modify or develop a contextually appropriate (ie. for Vietnam) evaluation instrument

/ checklist for course evaluation or teacher evaluation or materials evaluation. (4) Students can choose to modify one of the evaluation instruments or checklists

presented in class to make it appropriate for use in the group's professional teaching context/s in Vietnam. The changes made or the adaptations to the checklist must be highlighted in the submitted task. If students adapt a checklist that was found elsewhere, the original checklist should be included in the appendix of the submitted assignment. Students are required to justify the changes made to the evaluation instrument.

(5) If students choose to develop their own evaluation instrument, they must justify each of the items they decide to include in the checklist.

(6) It is expected that this justification of the changes to or inclusion of particular items in the instrument / checklist would be no more than 1000 words.

(7) The group leader will submit by email the developed or modified checklist / instrument and the justifications of the checklist / instrument items (1000 words) no later than one month after the completion of the final lecture. It is important for the group leader to make sure all the names of the group members are included with the submission.

-14-

(8) Please note that this task does NOT require students to do any evaluation using their developed or modified checklist. The main purpose of this task is for students to think about what would make a contextually, culturally appropriate evaluation instrument.

The assessment grading for this task will relate to: the setting of the professional context (2) the expected audience/s (eg. for teachers, for students, for supervisors, for all

three) of the adapted evaluation instrument (2) the adapted / adjusted evaluation instrument (6) the justification for inclusion of or changes to the items in the evaluation instrument,

ie. why were these inclusions / changes made and how do these inclusions / changes better suit the Vietnamese culture and teaching and learning contexts? (25)

Due Dates of the Assessment Tasks All daily tasks and individual presentations will be done in class time.

The collegially developed evaluation instrument is to be emailed to your lecturer by your group leader no more than one month after the completion of the classes.

The main assessment task - Presentation

This information is about the requirements for the individual oral presentations to the class.

Please note:

The timetable for the presentations will be randomly generated. This timetable will be given to students on the first day of class or emailed to the participants prior to the classes commencing.

All participants will need to be ready to deliver their presentations at the beginning of the classes.

Please also note that the timetable for the presentation sessions is flexible. On some days there may be a need to spend more time on questions and feedback.

If you want to change the time of your presentation you will need to arrange a swap with another student. If you do arrange a change of time, please inform your teacher.

-15-

To prepare for the presentations, each participant needs to think about a plan. This plan would probably include: 1. The topic of the presentation (ie. what area/s of your previous research and innovation

is being proposed to be evaluated related to your teaching context?) 2. A list of possible problems and likely questions (ie. think ahead about what might go

wrong with your presentation, and what questions you might be asked, and try to prepare for these).

3. The procedure to be followed. 4. The materials and equipment required for the presentation.

Each presentation is expected to take a maximum of 15 minutes, with 5 — 10 minutes allowed for questions from your colleagues and teacher.

Please plan ahead. You must prepare any materials that you want to use for your presentation, eg. photocopies or powerpoint presentations. Pens and whiteboard cleaners will be provided. If you wish to use a computer / laptop and projector you may need to arrange these yourself, or ask your teacher as soon as possible to arrange for them. It is not necessary to use any technological aids if you do not wish to.

The presentation must be an evaluation of what you did for your research and/or innovation assignments. This evaluation needs to be related to your teaching context. Your evaluation presentation must show what decisions you have made as a result of your previous research. It must state what you are now doing or are going to do as a result of the previous research. Your presentation is not simply a summary of what you have done. It is a critical appraisal of what you have done.

The purpose of your presentation is to explain to your colleagues the evaluation of your area of interest related to your research and innovation and your teaching context. This means that you need to understand the basic points of any evaluation:

What was the purpose of your previous research? Who was the 'audience' of your previous research? Were there any ethical considerations in your previous research? What were the mechanisms used for reliable data collection in your previous

research? What were the means used to validly interpret and analyse the data of your

previous research? What were the recommendations of your previous research? What was the reporting process of your previous research? What are you now doing or going to do as a result of your previous research? What has changed as a result of your previous research? What further research needs to be done as a result of your previous research?

The presentation will be delivered in front of an 'audience' (your colleagues and teacher) and could be supported by computer graphics, overhead diagrams and use of the whiteboard if appropriate and necessary.

-16-

Tips for a successful presentation Refer to the assessment criteria (attached) to see how you will be assessed. Use 'prompt cards' that are small enough to carry in your palm and that

summarise your talk, especially if you think you will be nervous. Rehearse with friends to give you feedback and to practice the timing of

your presentation. Write the title of your presentation on the board or OHT or slide before beginning. Pause to capture audience attention before starting. Use body language appropriately. Conclude and summarise each of your main points and the overall presentation. Use appropriate visual aids. Practice using the 'data show' projector, the overhead projector (OHP) and

whiteboard or other equipment beforehand. Attend to lettering size and the size of any diagrams. Do not put too much information on each slide / OHT. Notes may be used for reference but they must not be read to the class. You will be stopped if you run over time so do not try to present too much. There is a limit to the amount of information that is necessary and you are advised to

highlight no more than five key points in your talk. Check the accuracy of anything you present that is written (ie. spelling and

grammar). Look at websites related to the giving of presentations: eg. There are online video

examples of what previous students have presented at http://aehd.pbworks.com/. There is an online video about 'Presenting to a Group' available at the Victoria University Offshore Library website. There are other examples at http://www.kumc.edu/SAH/OTEd/jradel/effective.html

Please note the assessment criteria on the following pages (Pp. 17-18). Please refer to these criteria when you are preparing your presentation.

Note: If students fail to present appropriately, they will have to submit a 5,000 word written assessment task related to the 'Evaluation' unit's learning outcomes.

The following evaluation questions need to be answered in the 5,000 word resubmission assignment about the previous research or innovation or both:

What was the purpose of your previous research? Who were the 'audience' and 'stakeholders' of your previous research? Were there any ethical considerations in your previous research? What were the mechanisms used for reliable data collection in your previous

research? What were the means used to validly interpret and analyse the data of your

previous research? What were the recommendations as a result of your previous research? What was the reporting process of your previous research?

-17-

What are you now doing or going to do as a result of your previous research? What has changed as a result of your previous research? What further research needs to be done as a result of your previous research?
