Criteria catalog
A criteria catalog is an evaluation tool . It is a catalog of questions created by experts to assess a system (e.g. software ). This enables other experts to create quick, simple and / or standardized assessments using the system on which the criteria catalog is based. It is used in particular in the context of quality management.
advantages
The overlook / forgetting of criteria is reduced.
Results are usually more comparable.
New perspectives are shown and creative ways of acting are encouraged.
Moises lists the following advantages:
Inexpensive procedure (you only need a competent person, a copy of the program and the appropriate hardware) simple organization: the learning software can be evaluated by central, specially created organizations, detached from its real application area (learning process). ostensibly methodologically clean: through the step-by-step, always identical processing of extensive lists of criteria, the process appears objectively and methodologically clean.
disadvantage
Depending on the quality of the criteria catalog, important criteria are missing.
Depending on the scope, the time required is very high.
Moises lists the following disadvantages:
fundamental incompleteness: new factors are constantly being discussed or old factors are being changed, further subdivided, etc. missing or controversial assessment and weighting procedures: learning theory discussions are often omitted and the weighting procedures are left to the subjective assessment of individual users, educators and evaluators theoretical disorientation: subjective weighting procedures without With reference to concrete learning theories, isolated consideration of the programs without consideration of their didactically meaningful integration into a curriculum and without reference to the holistic design of the learning situation, extensive and detailed catalogs of criteria regardless of their pedagogical and didactic appropriateness.
