Connecting DE Theory to Online Reading Research
Levy’s concepts of attention in reading recognizes sustained (extensive) reading vs. hyper-extensive reading–the latter referring to our changing reading habits, where we reading extensively and broadly, but shallowly. In this case Levy precede’s Nicholas Carr (“The Shallows”), who argues that our use of technology is changing our brain structures, which may ultimately inhibit certain thinking/learning [...]

Summary of “Program Evaluation” ch 8, Participant-Oriented
Chapter 8 of Fitzpatrick, Sanders, and Worthen’s text Program Evaluation covers participant-oriented approaches to evaluation. Such approaches seek to focus on “the human element” and include diverse voices not typically expressed in more standard evaluation approaches or models. Stake’s countenance framework describes the evaluatee and attempts to judge its value or worth. The illuminative model [...]

Summary of “Program Evaluation” chs 4 – 7
Last week I read four core chapters from Fitzpatrick, Sanders, and Worthen’s text Program Evaluation that dealt with major theoretical models and approaches to evaluation, including Objectives-Oriented (71 – 87), Management-Oriented (88 – 99), Consumer-Oriented (100 – 111), and Expertise-Oriented (112 – 128). Each of these chapters outlined major thinkers and practitioners who shaped the [...]
