2. Goals of evaluation Each activity should be finished with at
least a short feedback. In eTwinning projects it is essential to
get feedback all the more that the projects are done in the
Internet, mostly with only virtual communication. Thus, there is no
or little possibility to sum all the activities up with
face-to-face contact.
3. Goals of evaluation Overall evaluation of the project has 2
major functions: to give feedback on how well the objectives of the
project were achieved, to improve or enhance next projects.
4. Forms of evaluation There are different forms of evaluating
the project. Teachers running eTwinning projects mention: Giving
opinions on the forum, blogs, websites, Leaving comments on online
corkboards (such as Padlet, NoteApp), Writing reports by the
students, Making short videos, Preparing diagrams.
5. Forms of evaluation However, the most appropriate form of
evaluation is still a SURVEY. First of all, it might be anonymous
(thus, the results are reliable). Secondly, it does not take much
time to complete it. Thirdly, the questions are prepared by
teachers and therefore, they concentrate on the essence, omitting
less important aspects.
6. Evaluation survey There are certain directives that should
be taken into consideration while preparing such survey.
7. Evaluation survey 1. Each survey should begin with the
introduction (who we address it to and why).
8. Evaluation survey 2. Number of questions is relevant too
many questions will discourage respondents. Too few questions will
not bring expected results.
9. Evaluation survey 3. Each question should focus on one
problem/aspect. We should avoid questions which may be confusing or
too difficult.
10. Evaluation survey 4. The language of the survey ought to be
clear and simple. We have to avoid double negatives and complex
statements. If we prepare surveys for pupils, we should bear in
mind they may not understand difficult terms.
11. Evaluation survey 5. In case of multiple choice questions
lets try to limit the number of answers. Too many options may not
give us precise feedback.
12. Evaluation survey 6. Survey should be consistent and
reasonable. Its a good idea to make a draft of our questionnaire
first and then decide on the order of questions. The rule for
questions is from more general ones to more specific.
13. Evaluation survey Last but not least, when we collect
responses we may show the overall report to our students. They will
feel more responsible for the project then, and also more decisive.
The better (more satisfied) students, the better project, isnt it
like that? *partially based on:
