Monitoring Information
Content
Does the content match the expected outcomes
for the course?
Does the content build on existing knowledge,
attitudes, and abilities of students?
Do students believe the new KSA are useful and
applicable?
6
Monitoring …
Context
Are necessary facilities, resources, and
equipment available for teaching?
Is teaching consistent with other courses?
Is there a link between classroom & practical?
Do staff at the clinical practice facility follow the
same procedures as taught in the course?
7
Monitoring …
Process
Course organized and taught in a logical way?
Do the methods and/or materials reflect learning
objectives?
Do students and teachers understand, accept,
and use the methods and materials?
Time in classroom and practical sites?
Ratio of clinical staff to students?
8
Monitoring …
Immediate Outcomes
What have students achieved as a result of the
course?
Were the learning objectives achieved?
Do students demonstrate the expected levels of
knowledge, skills, and attitudes?
9
Teaching …
Technical assessment confirms content is:
technically correct and up-to-date, written in
appropriate technical terms, and
comprehensive to meet learning objectives
10
Teaching …
Educational assessment confirms that
materials:
are properly structured, easy to use, and clear,
facilitate learning, and enable students to attain the
specified objectives
11
Ways to Collect Data
Self Assessment
How successful were the teaching and
assessment methods used?
Did you follow the syllabus and course schedule
that guide the sessions?
Did students get necessary experiences during
simulated & clinical practice sessions?
12
Students Assessment
Extent to which the course met the students’
expectations
Appropriateness of the teaching and
assessment methods used
Appropriateness of the materials used
Aspects of the course that students found the
most or least helpful
Links between theoretical and practical sessions
13
Options for Student Feedback
Feedback questionnaire
One-on-one interviews
Informal discussions
Focus group interviews
14
Peer Assessment
Another way to monitor
teaching is to ask peers
other teachers
administrators
or outside consultant to
observe teaching and provide
feedback
15
Key Point!
Monitoring should be
Useful: informs teachers and administrators about
what works well and what should be changed.
•Efficient: produces helpful information using
minimal time and resources.
Continual: information is collected during a course
as well as after the course is completed
16
Evaluation
Periodic assessment of the overall process and
final results of a course or academic program.

Types of Evaluations
Process: Changes in teaching methods and materials
Outcomes: Final results of a course or academic program
(competence)
Effectiveness: The ability of students to apply KSA at work
place (performance)
Impact: Population level: health status of the population,
difficult to measure
Let’s look at Table 12-1
19
Possible Modifications Based on M&E
Reorganizing the course
Revising learning objectives
Identifying new methods for teaching and
assessment
Refining existing methods
20
Possible Modifications …
Choosing new materials or revising existing
materials
Selecting new practice facilities or upgrading
existing ones
Improving the coordination with other teaching
units or courses

Summary …
Let’s review the job aid at the end of the module
