The evaluation toolbox is designed to help you measure the effect of your teaching. In this guide you
will find step-by-step instructions for how to use the toolbox.
The toolbox consists of two questionnaires (the Before and After Evaluation Questionnaires), and an
excel document which analyse the results of your evaluation.
How to do the evaluation
1. Print the Before Evaluation Questionnaire, hand it out in your class, and ask your students to answer
the questions before the lesson(s).
2. Print the After Evaluation Questionnaire, hand it out in your class and ask your students to answer
the questions after the lessons(s). It is recommended that you do this no sooner than 3 weeks after the
lesson(s) to achieve optimal evaluation.
3. Enter your students answers into the excel evaluation tool. Open the excel document and press
“Enter into the Before Questionnaire”. The sheet for entering will appear automatically. Give each
student a number (e.g. Student 1; Student 2 etc.). Enter the number of the student on the right and fill
in his/her answers in the columns on the left. Each column represents a question from the
questionnaire.
For each answer you should enter a value (not the actual text!), so that excel can calculate the results.
Use the following values to enter each students answers:

It is another word for homosexual

After you are finished entering all “Before” replies, you should do the same with the “After” replies.
Enter your data by using the same scale and entering each answer’s value for each student in the sheet
“After Evaluation Questionnaire”.
5. You are now ready to analyse your results. Go to the start page and click on the "Analyse the
results" button on the start page. The analysis will show you how many students (in per cent) answered
the questions correctly before and after the lesson(s), as well as the improvement in your class. The
improvement is calculated by using the same scale, as the one for entering results (0-2). If you for
instance “score” 2, this means that all your students answered wrong the first time, and correct the
4
second time, and your teaching had 100% effect. If you “score” 1 this means that half of your students
improved.
