The retrospective pre-post self-assessment method for evaluating training and professional development effectiveness prompts participants to rate their knowledge and ability related to training content before and after a training activity. This is a great tool to use for evaluating training effectiveness. The participant does the self-assessment one time at the end of the training rather than both at the beginning and the end. This approach provides a sound and consistent measure of participant growth that can be used across training activities.
The NSF BIGDATA program seeks novel approaches in computer science, statistics, computational science, and mathematics, along with innovative applications, that lead towards the further development of the interdisciplinary field of data science. The submission deadline is February 9, 2016.
As part of a US Department of Education-funded project, AAAS Project 2061 is developing multiple-choice assessment instruments to measure students’ understanding of ideas about energy. We are currently recruiting teachers and professors willing to pilot test these instruments with their students in the winter of 2015-2016.
