2. Research for McDougal Littell, ¡En español!
User Study ResearchIn the absence of independent, standardized national testing for beginning and intermediate Spanish students, McDougalLittell conducted the following User Survey in preparation for the ©2004 revision of ¡En español!.
During the 2001-2002 school year, a User Survey was conducted among Spanish teachers using ¡En español! ©2000 intheir classrooms. A total of 185 teachers were involved in the study. Among the 47 items on the survey document, teacherswere asked to, “rate their overall satisfaction level with the ¡En español! Program.” Seventy-six percent of the teachersresponded that they were either “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with ¡En español!. Only sixteen percent responded that theywere either “unsatisfied” or “very unsatisfied.”
These levels of satisfaction are very positive in user survey research.
Follow up telephone interviews were conducted with those teachers who responded negatively in the above User Survey.During the course of these interviews, the following reasons were identified by unsatisfied customers:
1. Pacing problems caused by too much material in each level of textbook2. Need for more practice, especially in the Más práctica Workbook3. Assessment: Quizzes and Tests4. Errors in the PEs and ancillaries
It should be noted that each of the above areas has been addressed in the revision of ¡En español! ©2004. For example,each section of the lesson now includes an “A, B, C, D” label to improve the flow of the material, and to show more clearly thelesson organization. In addition, new Back to School Packs (ancillary) have been added to each level of the program in orderto make the transition from one textbook to the next more fluid and efficient.
In response to the need cited for more practice, a second workbook, Actividades para todos, has been added to the program,with leveled practice sets for each corresponding grammar and vocabulary topic taught in the pupil edition. New vocabularyand grammar quizzes have been added to the program, and errors in the first edition have now been corrected.
