Module 6. Monitoring, Assessment & Evaluation

Introduction

In this Module, we will analyse the process of monitoring, assessment and evaluation of non-formal educational activities, targeting migrants with disabilities. The specific target group has some unique features, which must be considered during the evaluation procedure of a learning process.

In addition, issues like how participants at learning activities can give constructive feedback, the importance of self-reflection on the teaching process and why special attention should be given to nonviolent communication among all the participants in a learning process, will be analysed.

The aim is to raise your attention on the importance of monitoring and evaluation in learning processes, as a way to understand how well you are performing during the educational procedure and whether the educational goals have been achieved.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the module, you will be able to:

Understand how to monitor and evaluate a learning process
Identify practical steps of a monitoring and evaluation procedure of a learning process
Describe practical tools for monitoring and evaluation of a learning process
Be aware of a range of feedback tools
Assess the effectiveness of a non-formal educational activity for migrants with disabilities
Support nonviolent communication during the learning procedure

Requirements

The following things would be helpful for making the most of this module, but they are not obligatory requirements:

experience in teaching or training a group of adult learners
experience in teaching or training a group of diverse learners (e.g. different educational backgrounds, migratory backgrounds, people with disabilities, etc.)
experience in monitoring and evaluation of a learning process

Content

Food for Thought

Have you ever identified any gaps in the learning activities you implemented for immigrants with disabilities?
Do you believe that the monitoring tools you are using for evaluating the learning progress of your learners who are immigrants with disabilities are effective?
Have you experienced difficulties in monitoring the learning outcomes of an educational program focusing on immigrants with disabilities?
Do you believe that you are able to provide constructive feedback to your learners in order to motivate them and engage them in the learning procedure?
Think of the techniques you implemented for creating a learning environment of safety, trust and empathy for your learners, including immigrants with disabilities. Were they successful? Which difficulties did you face?

Experiences

Learning styles & the importance of critical self-reflection

You can watch a video from a TEDx presentation of Dr. Tesia Marshik. Dr. Tesia Marshik is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Her research interests in educational psychology include student motivation, self-regulation and teacher-student relationships (aspects which are important during monitoring and evaluation procedures).
