An evaluation framework can help to organize people’s thinking and thus guide individual evaluations and / or the development of a research agenda. The evaluation framework shown here is based in part on other frameworks and in part on discussions that have been carried out as one component of this National Science Foundation sponsored project in which a consortium of researchers from various institutions, each of which is involved in studying 1:1 computing, are meeting to share findings and discuss planned activities.
The framework is intended to be used particularly at the system level, meaning schools, districts, or whole states. Because 1:1 initiatives now involve thousands and in some cases tens of thousands of participants, it is particularly appropriate to conduct system level evaluations.
For each topic shown in the framework, sets of research questions can be developed. Click on a topic to see sample research questions pertaining to that topic.
