This comprehensive overview by Shelley H. Billig, Ph.D., outlines an evaluation toolkit designed to assess the impacts and quality of K-12 service-learning initiatives. It covers methods for measuring academic, civic, and personal/social impacts, along with detailed logic models and theory of change. The toolkit provides a step-by-step guide for planning and implementing evaluations, offering worksheets and practical guidance. By using evidence-based approaches, educators can enhance the effectiveness of service-learning programs and achieve desired outcomes for students and communities.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Assessing K-12 Service-Learning Impacts and Quality Shelley H. Billig, Ph.D. RMC Research Corporation

  2. Overview • Evaluation Toolkit • Logic Models and Theory of Change • Measuring Impact • Academic impact • Civic impact • Personal/social impacts • Others • Measuring Quality

  3. Evaluation Toolkit • How-To Guide For Traditional Evaluation • Overview • Steps for Planning and Implementation • Worksheets • Detailed Guidance

  4. Session Experiences • “Dip in” for various aspects of the evaluation and assessment process.

  5. Logic Models • Shows how and why the program will work; • Connects program activities to program outcomes through outputs: • e.g., activity (input)  Increased student engagement in schools (output)  Increased student academic achievement (outcome).

  6. TX K-12 Learn and Serve Logic Model

  7. Try It! • Start with your activities – what will you do? • Specify your goals – what will you accomplish? • Identify those factors that will influence results, both positively and negatively. Include demographics, context, implementation issues

  8. Logic Model Use • Once the logic model has been created with stakeholders, review it. • Use the logic model to design or revamp the evaluation. • Use the constructs identified in the logic model to guide the development of measures (instrumentation).

  9. Logic Model Resources • University of Wisconsin-Extension Program Development and Evaluation, www.uwex.edu/ces/pdande • W.K. Kellogg Foundation, www.wkkf.org • Evaluation Handbook, 1998 • Logic Model Development Guide, 2001

  10. Assessing Academic Impact • Where is service-learning likely to have the greatest academic impact? • Knowledge areas (general and specific) • Types of skills (general and specific) • Moderators • What measures are available?

  11. Academic Skills • Areas of likely impact • Higher order thinking skills such as problem solving, analysis, transfer of learning • Specific knowledge related to service activities, e.g., measurement, writing, synthesizing materials, research • What are the available measures? • Rubrics • Test scores • Writing scores • Problem solving essays • Measures of academic engagement • Absenteeism • Surveys • More!

  12. Assessing Civic Impacts • Where is service-learning likely to have the greatest civic impact? • Knowledge? • Skills? • Dispositions? • Attachment to community? • Moderators • What measures are available?

  13. Civic Impacts • Areas of likely impact • Knowledge of community needs • Skills for planning and implementing projects • Taking responsibility • Ethic of service • Available measures • Surveys • Focus groups/interviews • Hours of service • Actual changes

  14. Assessing Social/Personal Impacts • Where is service-learning likely to have the greatest impact on social/personal areas? • Knowledge areas (general and specific) • Types of skills (general and specific) • Moderators • What measures are available?

  15. Social/Personal Outcomes • Areas of Likely Impact • Development of character traits such as responsibility, trust, and caring • Respect for diversity • More bonds with adults • More protective factors such as resilience • Greater self-efficacy • Measures • Surveys • Focus groups/interviews • Rubrics • Self-assessments

  16. Sample Measures of Outcome Areas • Examine the samples • What is the best use of each? By whom and for what purpose? • What do you like and dislike about each?

  17. Measuring Moderators Moderators are characteristics that influence outcomes. Examples: Instructor experience; program design; program quality. Need to identify and measure those factors like to serve as moderators.

  18. What moderators are likely to be in play in your settings? • Consider demographics. • Consider program design. • Consider quality. • Consider instructor characteristics like experience, levels of training, and expertise. • Consider partner characteristics.

  19. Characteristics of Good Assessments • Valid • Reliable • Objective • Useful • Items measure only one construct at a time (not double barrelled…) • Related to the logic model or assessment questions

  20. Open Discussion • Questions and Answers
