Leo A pleasure to see your name again on Wikieducator along with another challenging issue put forth. Through our private conversations you fully well know I am convinced of competency based training methods in teacher education and other fields.
A few questions... when you say 400 students. please define the training modality. classroom, online, blended, etc... Will you be the only trainer? will the 400 be taught simultaneously, at separate times, in separate rooms? etc... ok on to your questions... 1 for group assignment , i am thinking to give a mark based on theire product and presentation , however how could i give individual score based on their group performance ? Some ideas... look to Guskey's Five Critical Levels of Professional Development Evaluation http://connectingcantycommunities.wikispaces.com/file/view/Guskey+5+levels.pdf levels 4 and 5 address participant changes. 4 Participants' use of new knowledge or skills Methods for assessing/gathering information on participants ability to advance in the use of new knowledge/skills ** Questionnaires *- like Alex said you could go back to the standardized assessment using simple tools like multiple choice questions - here I would consider setting up an online tool like Limesurvey as dealing with 400 tests would be so much easier electronically. Happy to help if you want to go this route. * Structured interviews with participants and their supervisors - this can be too time consuming with 400, I would not attempt it * *Participant reflections (oral and/or written)* - here you can require the participants to write some reflection pieces on their growth and how they will apply the competencies delivered * *Participant portfolios * here you may look to developing a PLE strategy for each student. read this... http://www.elearningeuropa.info/files/media/media11561.pdf * Direct observations - this is tough when you are dealing with 400 students * *Video or audio tapes* - how about each student could be asked to post a youtube video on some aspect of the course. * Concerns-based Adoption Model 2 for individual assignment , i have a large students numbers , so it would be impossible for each students to be given 15 mins for their presentation , how do i assess them without wasting a lot precious time in classroom see above for some ideas... here I would focus on self assessment, peer assessment and the use of web 2.0 technologies for student demonstrations of their learning. Try to incorporate the notions of a flipped classroom if possible http://isminc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2235&Itemid=1371 http://www.thedailyriff.com/articles/how-the-flipped-classroom-is-radically-transforming-learning-536.php http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/05/flip-teaching-what-happens-when-homework-is-in-class/ Cheers Tim __________________________________ j.

While SAT scores might predict your success in the classroom, beyond a basic level of intelligence your passion, motivation, initiative, networking and hustle matter more than your grade-point average.
