ATE Materials Development Processes Report

This 57-page report, provided by EvaluATE: Evaluation Resource Center for Advanced Technological Education, relates to the materials development component of the ATE program. "This report describes the development processes used to create four materials which were rated by external experts as very good to excellent. It presents descriptions of the actual processes the ATE projects used and relates the models inferred from these applied processes to two theoretical frameworks for materials development: Understanding by Design and Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Development." At the end of the report, the applied and theoretical processes are combined to produce a template intended to inform and guide ATE materials development. 

The report includes the following sections: Executive Summary, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Comparison with Theoretical Materials Development Models, Integration of the Development Models, Template Analysis of ATE Processes, Summary and Recommendations, References, and Appendices.
