PAS Evaluation Methodology
All of the evaluations collected by the PAS for their educational outreach work use the Inspiring Learning For All (ILFA) toolkit developed by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, in conjunction with DfES. (See www.mla.gov.uk/ilfa for more details.)
The PAS evaluation forms are for a variety of purposes. There is one for teachers or educators to fill in after a session with their local Finds Liaison Officer or the PASt explorers web-based educational resource. The KS2 evaluation form is for children aged 7-11 to fill in to let us know what they learned, what they liked and what they didn’t like about the lessons using either the lesson plans downloaded from PASt explorers or with a FLO visiting their school. Evaluating cross-curricular, outdoors, enrichment or out-of-the-ordinary sessions can be tricky and the ILFA toolkit aims to evaluate consistently the following generic learning outcomes (GLOs):
The Learning Outcomes being assessed are:
- GLO 1, Knowledge and Understanding
- GLO 2, Skills
- GLO 3, Values, attitudes, feelings
- GLO 4, Enjoyment, Creativity, and Inspiration
- GLO 5, Behaviour (Activity, Modification, and Progression)
Please have a go, look at the information about ILFA on the MLA website and, most importantly, let us know what you think!
