Implementation+and+Evaluation

Formative and Summative Evaluation
For this part of the project, I asked for several close family friends to participate by having them create PowerPoint presentations in order to teach their kids important lessons such as proper eating habits and math concepts. The parents would create the PowerPoint presentations for their kids, then conduct evaluations in the household.

For personal reasons, they asked that their names and identities not be revealed on this site.

They learned to evaluate whether or not their kids could implement what they learned from the presentations. They did this by either giving them a set of basic math problems, or by setting up a mock dinner and seeing if they could remember the proper manners for the dinner table.

In order to evaluate this properly there are some aspects to consider: 1- Parents development of the PowerPoint presentations and use at home. 2- Parents evaluation of the presentation. 3- Childrens understanding of the PowerPoint presentations and their ability to practice what they have learned.

In order to accomplish this I used different types of evaluation. For the parents, I chose to observe both the creation of their PowerPoint presentations, but I also observed when they presented them to their kids. I created a survey for them to express how useful the PowerPoint was to them.

For the Children I also developed a survey for them to evaluate what they thought of the presentations.

After all the parents and their kids took the survey, I looked at the results.

Here is a sample of the results for the Presenter(Parents): Here is a sample of the survey results from the Audience(Children): Now I was able to evaluate not only how well the parents thought educating your children could be using PowerPoint, I was also able to evaluate how well the children responded to this form of teaching. Overall, the presentations seemed to be rather effective. Though that could very well be due to the fact that they are being generous in their evaluations, but I trust their honesty. As I observed them it was clear that the majority of the kids were very attentive during the presentations, and several kids seemed to be interested in the material. Based on the evaluations, not only did the kids enjoy learning from the PowerPoint presentations, the parents seemed to enjoy teaching with PowerPoint.

For the survey I used:
