2. Evaluation
Process:
Evaluation:
Evaluation is a process of making value
judgement about a project, programme or
an institution. It uses the information
collected through measurement and
assessment. In education, it is basically
concerned with making decisions about
worth of teaching and learning programs.
3. Evaluation is a process that critically examines
a program.
Its purpose is to make judgments about a
program, to improve its effectiveness, and/or
to inform programming decisions (Patton,
1987).
4. • “Evaluation is the collection of,
analysis and interpretation of
information about any aspect of a
program of education or training as
part of a recognized process of
judging its effectiveness, its
efficiency and any other outcomes it
may have” (Handbook of Educational
Technology).
5. • According to Gay (1991):
• “Evaluation is the systematic process of collecting and
analyzing data in order to determine whether, and to what
degree, objectives have been achieved”.
6. According to Gronlund (1990):
“Evaluation is a systematic process of
collecting, analyzing and interpreting
information to determine extent the
pupils are achieving instructional
objectives”.
7. Purpose of Evaluation:
• To discover the extend of competence.
• To predict the educational practices.
• To clarify student’s degree, proficiency in an
educational practice.
• To make plan for guiding the growth of the
student.
• To diagnose the student’s educational
weakness and strength.
8. Principle of the Evaluation:
• Determine and clarifying what is to be
evaluated always has priority in the
evaluation process.
• Evaluation techniques should be selected
according to the purposes to be served.
• Comprehensive evaluation requires a
variety of evaluation techniques.
• Proper use of evaluation techniques
requires and awareness of both their
limitation and strengths.
• Evaluation is a means to and end, not an
end itself.
9. • Evaluation in our schools is essentially concerned
with two major approaches to making judgements:
•
• Product Evaluation.
• Process Evaluation.
10. 1. Product Evaluation:
Product evaluation is an evaluation of
student performance in a specific
learning context. Such an evaluation
essentially seeks to determine how well
the students have achieved the stated
objectives of the learning situation. In
this sense the student’s performance is
seen as a product of the educational
experience, a school report is an example
of product evaluation.
11. 2. Process Evaluation:
• Process evaluation examines the
experiences and activities coevolved in
the learning situation, making
judgements about the process by which
students acquired learning or examining
the learning experience before it has
been concluded. For example, process
evaluation may be conducted upon the
nature of student-teacher interaction,
instructional methods and school
curricula.
12. The Evaluation Process:
Impact planning and evaluation can help
voluntary organizations make their work
more effective.
What are the issues people face?
Understanding the issues experienced by
your beneficiaries is the starting point for
impact planning. Sometimes called a
‘needs assessment’, this involves
reviewing the challenges your
beneficiaries face, so you’re best placed
to respond.
13. What difference do you want to make?
Next, identify the difference that you
intend to make in response to the issue's
beneficiaries face. You can articulate
short- and medium-term changes that will
result from what you do (outcomes), or
broad or longer-term effects of your work
(impacts).
14. What will you do to make this
difference?
At this point identify the products or
services that you will provide (or are
providing) to make a difference. You’ll
assess your progress in delivering this
work as part of your evaluation.
15. • How will you track your progress?
• Next, monitor your work, using appropriate methods to
collect information about what you are doing and the
difference it is making.
16. What have you learned?
At this point, analyze your data to make
judgements about your work, generating
clear evaluation findings. You can identify
what difference your work has made,
what has gone well and where you can
improve.
17. • How will you use your findings?
• Next, use your evaluation findings. They
may help you engage with external audiences,
communicate with funders and donors and
improve your work.
18. Why is Process Evaluation important?
Outcome evaluation measures program
effects in the target population by
assessing the progress in the outcomes or
outcome objectives that the program is to
achieve. Results of a process
evaluation will strengthen your ability to
report on your program and use
information to improve future activities.
19. What are the steps in evaluation process?
• In general, evaluation processes go through four distinct
phases:
Planning.
Implementation.
Completion.
Reporting.
