formative Evaluation for Educational Technologies (Routledge Communication Series)
by Barbara N. FlaggThe designers of educational or training programs that employ electronic technology might have many questions about a project while it is still in the early stages of development. For instance: Is the program's presentation too simple, or too complex for its target audience? Does the pacing of the program help or hinder comprehension? Which aspects of the program are the most appealing, and why? Formative evaluation can answer these, or similar questions. It can help guide designers of television programs, microcomputer software, interactive videodiscs, or virtually any other educational item, in making modifications that can lead to the development of a final product that fully achieves its stated goals. Until very recently, however, the person interested in avoiding potential problems through the use of formative evaluation would have been faced with difficulties of a different kind. Comprehensive treatment of formative evaluation has been scarce, and published discussion on formative evaluation of computer-based materials has been virtually nonexistent. Until now, that is. Barbara Flagg's Formative Evaluation for Educational Technologies provides comprehensive treatment of formative evaluation. The book offers: * extensive coverage of all the methods evaluators might use to assess the user friendliness, the appeal, and the outcome effectiveness of an educational program. * extensive focus on new technologies * coverage of all phases of program development, from initial idea to final product * discussion of formative evaluation as part of the broader field of curriculum evaluation * numerous case studies. This volume will appeal to a wide variety of people engaged in formative evaluation. It is an excellent guide for newcomers to the field; it is a state-of-the art document for established practitioners of instructional design and curriculum evaluation.
geschlecht_transkulturell: Aktuelle Forschungsperspektiven
by Eva Hausbacher Liesa Herbst Julia Ostwald Martina ThieleDieses Buch konturiert das Forschungsfeld „Transkulturelle Geschlechterforschung“. Die spezifische Verbindung von Transkulturalität und Geschlechterforschung ermöglicht, sich aus einer globalen, vernetzenden Perspektive mit der Strukturkategorie Geschlecht und ihren diskursiven Verschränkungen mit Kultur sowie den jeweiligen medialen, literarischen und szenischen (Re-)Präsentationen dieses Zusammenhangs auseinanderzusetzen. Der Band betont die Notwendigkeit einer Wissenschaftsmodernisierung im Sinne einer kritischen Reflexion wissenschaftlicher Methoden und theoretischer Positionen und ist aufgrund historischer wie aktueller gesellschaftspolitischer Transformationsprozesse von hoher Relevanz.Der Beitrag Die Migrantin retten!?

growing up GLOBAL: THE CHANGING TRANSITIONS TO ADULTHOOD IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
by National Research Council Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesThe challenges for young people making the transition to adulthood are greater today than ever before. Globalization, with its power to reach across national boundaries and into the smallest communities, carries with it the transformative power of new markets and new technology. At the same time, globalization brings with it new ideas and lifestyles that can conflict with traditional norms and values. And while the economic benefits are potentially enormous, the actual course of globalization has not been without its critics who charge that, to date, the gains have been very unevenly distributed, generating a new set of problems associated with rising inequality and social polarization. Regardless of how the globalization debate is resolved, it is clear that as broad global forces transform the world in which the next generation will live and work, the choices that today's young people make or others make on their behalf will facilitate or constrain their success as adults. Traditional expectations regarding future employment prospects and life experiences are no longer valid. Growing Up Global examines how the transition to adulthood is changing in developing countries, and what the implications of these changes might be for those responsible for designing youth policies and programs, in particular, those affecting adolescent reproductive health. The report sets forth a framework that identifies criteria for successful transitions in the context of contemporary global changes for five key adult roles: adult worker, citizen and community participant, spouse, parent, and household manager.
