Evaluation

Evaluation is the process of examining a program or process to determine what's working, what's not, and why.

Evaluation determines the value of programs and acts as blueprints for judgment and improvement.

(Rossett & Sheldon, 2001)

Definition of Evaluation

Many people think of evaluation as taking a snapshot of outcomes at the end of a program to prove to a funder that it worked or failed. These same people don't hold evaluation in much regard because they feel they are getting too little information too late in the day, especially if their program fell short of expectations or made no difference at all.

Evaluation can, and should be used as an ongoing management and learning tool to improve an organization's effectiveness.

Significance of Evaluation

Well-run organizations and effective programs are those that can demonstrate the achievement of results.

Results are derived from good management. Good management is based on good decision making.

Good decision making depends on good information. Good information requires good data and careful analysis of the data. These are all critical elements of evaluation.

Significance of Evaluation

Significance of Evaluation

Evaluation refers to a periodic process of gathering data and then analyzing or ordering it in such a way that the resulting information can be used to determine whether your organization or program is effectively carrying out planned activities, and the extent to which it is achieving its stated objectives and anticipated results.

Managers can and should conduct internal evaluations to get information about their programs so that they can make sound decisions about the implementation of those programs.

Internal evaluation should be conducted on an ongoing basis and applied conscientiously by managers at every level of an organization in all program areas.

Program evaluation, conducted on a regular basis, can greatly improve the management and effectiveness of your organization and its programs. To do so requires understanding the differences between monitoring and evaluation, making evaluation an integral part of regular program planning and implementation, and collecting the different types of information needed by managers at different levels of the organization.

Formative evaluation is generally any evaluation that takes place before or during a project’s implementation with the aim of improving the project’s design and performance. It is an ongoing classroom process that keeps

students and educators informed of students’ progress toward program learning objectives.

Formative evaluation does require time and money and this may be a barrier to undertaking it, but it should be viewed as a valuable investment that improves the likelihood of achieving a successful outcome through better program design.

Summative evaluation can take place during the project implementation, but is most often undertaken at the end of a project. As such, summative evaluation can also be referred to as ex-post evaluation.

It occurs most often at the end of a unit.
