Evaluation Focus: Impact of a new online learning platform on student engagement and learning outcomes in a high school mathematics course.

Outline:

Introduction: Background, purpose of the evaluation, research questions.
Methodology: Mixed-methods approach including quantitative data (platform usage, test scores, grades) and qualitative data (student surveys, focus groups).
Data Collection: Timeline, instruments, participant selection (treatment group using the platform, control group with traditional methods).
Data Analysis: Statistical analysis of quantitative data, thematic analysis of qualitative data.
Expected Outcomes: Identify platform strengths (engagement features, personalized learning) and weaknesses (technical issues, lack of interaction), and their correlation with learning outcomes.
Recommendations: Suggestions for platform improvement and implementation strategies.

Strengths (of proposed evaluation): Combines quantitative and qualitative data for a comprehensive understanding. Directly addresses engagement and learning outcomes.

Weaknesses (of proposed evaluation): May be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Generalizability might be limited to the specific context.
