3.1. Literature review The literature review set the context for the other phases of the project. Building on team members’ experience in this area, an extensive literature search on ways of evaluating CPD was conducted. This literature review drew directly on literature relating to CPD evaluation. The review drew on a wide range of sources, including the ERIC database, abstracts in various fields, library searches and contacts with key informants such as the EPPI Review Group. Endnote was used to record references and compile a comprehensive annotated bibliography. The literature review identified effective and innovative evaluative methods for CPD. These methods, as well as other findings from the literature review, informed the construction of the survey and interview phase schedules, and the creation of the Route Map. 3.2. Survey The survey phase of the project provided a large-scale representation of views among practitioners and stakeholders. Copies of the survey instruments may be found in Appendix 6. Teachers and CPD co-ordinators 1 were asked to report the range of CPD activities they had experienced and their effectiveness in order to provide information on the range of CPD used. They were then asked to focus on the evaluation of CPD including its prevalence, methods used and their judgements of relative effectiveness. These findings are compared with the Guskey model explained in above. This proposes a hierarchy of five outcome levels to which we have added two more. • Participant reaction • Participant learning 1 The response rate for CPD leaders was 38%; for teachers, 20%. - 18 -
