ILDF 2.0 Entry Stack · Step 7 · Phase 3 — Evaluation: Local Impact

Lock the Criteria Before the Pilot Runs.

Formative Evaluation Designerbuilds one formative evaluation plan for one pilot of one design — Competency, Evidence, Task, and Assembly, in that order, so what counts as “it worked” is committed before any pilot data exists to argue about.

Grounded in research
  • Two-track measurement (performance + SRL/process indicators): Xu (2025).
  • Formative-evaluation continuum: Tessmer (1993); Dick & Carey (1990).
  • Fuzzy-generalization framing for pass/revise/redesign thresholds: Bassey (2001).
  • Success Case Method: Brinkerhoff (2003).
  • Argumentative-grammar audit: Middleton, Gorard, Taylor & Bannan-Ritland (2008).
  • Pre-commitment gate against post-hoc scope creep: Hardman (2026).

Competency Model

What is this pilot actually testing?

Name the specific competency claim(s) the design is meant to support — distinct from tool-use fluency. This step forces the real target construct into view before anything else gets built.
