| Abstract | The overall poor quality of educational software on the market suggests that educators must continue efforts to evaluate available packages and to disseminate their findings. In this paper, weaknesses in published evaluation procedures are identified, and an alternative model, the York Educational Software Evaluation Scale (YESES), is described. The rationale for this criterion-based model is drawn from the fields of the assessment of student writing, criterion-referenced testing, and the assessment of second language oral proficiency. Four charactertistics important for evaluation were identified from an analysis of published evaluation guidelines: (1) pedagogical content; (2) instructional presentation; (3) documentation; and (4) technical adequacy. Data are presented on the mean ratings of software evaluated with the model, scale intercorrelations, and indicators of its validity and reliability. Feedback indicates that YESES is best used as an initial screening device to narrow the choice of software to a manageable few that can be examined in detail, and as a summative evaluation instrument.
