Abstract

This application is for the U.S. Department of Education’s Education Innovation and Research Program to secure funding for the development of an application for touchscreen devices that allows students to record real time instructional feedback to their instructors that is collected during, rather than at the conclusion of, a lesson. Student feedback to teachers can be a valuable tool to help improve instruction. This feedback, shared with teachers, would help identify areas for instructional shifts to better meet the needs of students. Embedded in this proposal are the following research questions: What sort of feedback options (format, timing, quantity) do high school students and teachers find most useful in a touch-screen app? To what degree can a touchscreen app provide technically adequate measures of instruction? What are teachers’ perceptions of this feedback?
