ABSTRACT
FishWatchr (FW) was
developed as a discussion and observation support tool, incorporating functions
of easy annotation and ability to visually access results. In this study, an
experimental lesson was conducted by using FW for Japanese language trial
lesson evaluation. Results showed that FW evaluation was perceived to be more
beneficial than paper evaluation and evaluators took a learner perspective in
paper evaluations, but took a teacher’s perspective in FW evaluations when
evaluating the lesson. It was also clear that comments received from others on
learners’ own failure were considered beneficial. It seems that combining FW evaluation and traditional paper-based
evaluation was extremely effective in evaluation activity in trial lessons.
Through the experience of using both evaluation methods, it is possible to
foster different evaluative perspectives.
