The Success of an Evaluation Plan:
Through a comprehensive evaluation process, instructional designers can determine a project's success, identify areas for improvement, evaluate outcomes, and make data-driven decisions (Evanick, 2023).
The microlearning course Teacher Self-Efficacy and Its Impact on the Teacher-Student Relationship was implemented and evaluated for select educators. Quantitative and qualitative data, such as teacher interviews, surveys, and case studies, provided insight into what was successful with the microlearning asset and what needed improvement. The data assisted in providing recommendations for future implementation.
The following are recommendations based on the implementation of the microlearning asset:
A larger sample size should be considered for future implementation to help ensure the validity and reliability of results.
It is recommended that professional development be provided that centers around lesson format and assessment strategies. Teachers need guidance on implementing lessons for direct instruction, small group instruction, and various assessment strategies.
Regarding classroom management, providing strategies to support teachers with challenging behaviors in the classroom will help increase their self-efficacy and maintain a positive learning environment.
It is recommended that teachers receive more support with parent communication. The analysis revealed that teachers need support when discussing behavioral and academic concerns and building the parent partnership to support the teacher-student relationship.
Providing teachers with tools and strategies to help evaluate if they have created a culturally responsive classroom, including classroom materials and culture.
Providing more scenario-based instruction for teachers will allow them to practice applying strategies provided in the microlearning asset.
