"Summative Evaluation of Dragon Tales"
This is the final report of a controlled field experiment, funded by the US Department of Education, to determine whether viewing of the Dragon Tales TV series resulted in any changes in young children's tendency to set goals for themselves, to persist at tasks they got involved in, or collaborate with other children in achieving objectives. It used several of the core FieldKit(r) components, including those for measuring audience attention from audience-reaction videos, doing time-sampled codings of free-play behavior by live observers, and keypunching from paper-pencil survey forms
