sufficientquality and intensity to influence intended outcomes. The process data were collected throughproject documents, attendance logs, a site visit with observations and interviews of anafterschool activity, and participant surveys. Post-, or end-of-program, surveys with students,mentors, teachers and parents also included formative items designed to inform next year’sprogram development. To assess program outcomes, ARS employed a number of measures (such as those forstudent interests and self-efficacy) and evaluation activities (such as those for student learningoutcomes) across the four participating schools and between the two different interventions (a,traditional new venture creation approach; and b, Lean Startup approach), including survey
specific data collectiontools. Two threats to the validity of the data collected by using the think aloud method are; (a)incompleteness due to synchronization problems and (b) invalidity due to problems with workingmemory. Thinking aloud takes place concurrently with the cognitive process, hence a cognitiveprocess takes longer when think aloud method is used. For example, subjects frequently reportthat sometimes verbalization does not keep up with the cognitive process and that their thoughtprocesses may look incomplete or contains “holes” of which it is necessary to assume that anintermediate thought occurred here. The second reason states that “if the task is non-verbal andcomplicated, then verbalization will not only cost time but also space in
