Special Education Philippines ? Rating Scale for Evaluating ...

In one of the educational seminars hosted by Advocata (Giving Voice to Children with Special Needs) I received a copy of their rating scale after the seminar. I find the rating scale useful so I kept a copy to be used as a reference.

?

?

I am posting this rating scale for educational seminars here today for two purpose:

1. To serve as reference in case you are hosting your own educational seminar

2. To be aware of the categories Advocata uses to measure the effectiveness of their seminars.

?

?

Why do we need to rate our educational seminars here in the Philippines?

I think the first purpose is important for those who are researching for rating scales to use while the second purpose gives a window for suggestions and room for improvements in making rating scales.

?

Without further adieu, here is the rating scale used by Advocata for evaluating their educational seminars:

?

Direction: Make an honest evaluation of the seminar by using a 5-point scale with 5 as the highest and 1 as the lowest. Write a checkmark corresponds (sic) to your rating.

?

5 ? strongly agree

4 ? agree

3 ? neither agree nor disagree

2 ? disagree

1 ? strongly disagree

I. Topic

1. The topics are relevant to my field
2. The topics are useful for me.

2. The time was enough for me to understand the topic/s.
3. The schedule set was firmly implemented.

What I like about this rating scale for educational seminars is that it is clear, concise and straight to the point. There is also enough space to write your answer and it is very easy to use. I think rating scales are important tools we can use during seminars and even in class presentations. However, just like any tool it has to be used properly for us to maximize its full potential.
