Our Class Helped Parents
One goal in teaching “Facebook for Parents” at Stanford University was to create an effective curriculum, backed by research and data. In addition to gathering feedback after each class, we conducted pre- and post-tests with parents (our students) at the start and end of the class series.The results were very good.
The data show that parents in our class improved significantly on all items we measured. This means the curriculum we created was effective. Of course, we are happy about that. But we are especially pleased with how much improvement parents showed in such a short time. This was our primary goal: Create an efficient way to teach parents about Facebook.
A summary of the results is below, showing how 52 parents responded.
