Disseminate evaluation findings through audience-segmented briefs backed by a shared methods summary¶

Description¶

The article describes a dissemination approach in which a methods summary "accompanies a series of briefs summarizing results of the Ecree study for different audiences (teachers, students and families, school and district leaders, and tool designers and instructional support teams)". Each audience receives findings framed for its needs, while the shared methods summary supplies "more information on the study design, sample, data sources, measures, and analytic methods" so all briefs rest on one documented methodological base.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A single methods summary documenting design, sample, data sources, measures, and analytic methods that all briefs can reference

Constraints¶

• Briefs are tailored to specific audiences (teachers, students and families, school and district leaders, tool designers and instructional support teams) rather than a single general report

Target Learners¶

• School and district leaders
• Teachers
• Students and families
• Tool designers and instructional support teams

Target Learning Goals¶

• Informed interpretation and use of research findings on educational technology by practitioner audiences

Related Strategies¶

• Research Reports
• Provide teachers, administrators, and educational leaders with practical resources and strategies for assessment use
• Document survey data collection procedures and results in a methodological summary
