Evaluate the Performance of Adults. Module N-6 of Category N--Teaching Adults. Professional Teacher Education Module Series.
Kopp, Kathleen
This module, one in a series of performance-based teacher education learning packages, focuses on a specific skill that vocational educators need to create appropriate learning environments and to plan and manage instruction that is well-suited to the learning and psychological needs of today's adults. The purpose of the module is to teach instructors how to evaluate learners' progress in meeting specified objectives. Introductory material provides terminal and enabling objectives, a list of resources, and general information. The main portion of the module includes three learning experiences based on the enabling objectives: (1) demonstrate knowledge of the rationale for and factors involved in student evaluation; (2) critique a test; and (3) critique a case study on developing evaluation plans for adult learners. Each learning experience presents activities with information sheets, samples, worksheets, checklists, and self-checks with model answers. Optional activities are provided. Completion of these three learning experiences should lead to achievement of the terminal objective through the fourth and final learning experience that requires (1) an actual teaching situation in which to evaluate the performance of adults, and (2) a teacher performance assessment by a resource person. An assessment form is included. (YLB)
