Evaluation Resource

Evaluation of Teachers 2000 Program (T2K) at Gloucester County College

The goal of Teachers 2000 at Gloucester County College is to infuse technology into the education of future teachers. 

The program is divided into four student cohorts (learning communities), each mentored by a different faculty member. One thread of the evaluation focused on these learning communities and the role technology played in their growth. Thirty-seven students (80%) reported studying with other community members outside class-time. Fifty-nine percent believed their learning of subject material was frequently or always influenced by such collaborative learning. In part because of findings such as these, the faculty are focusing on strengthening collaborative learning still further by increasing group size and developing more small group activities (e.g., collaborative papers). 

In contrast, the evaluation indicated that a telecourse students were taking was not providing sufficient structure, so the telecourse is being dropped this year. 

The evaluators found improvements in student performance relative to students not in the T2K program, as measured by GPA of matched pairs. They also found that retention was 5% higher for the T2K students than for students not in the program. For the full report (not on the Web at this time), contact Linda DeFelice.
