There are four general types of evaluation research - evaluation of need,
evaluation of process, evaluation of impact, and evaluation of efficiency.
Write a descriptive paragraph on each type of evaluation research. Provide at
least one example of each type.
Your Answer:
Process evaluation is employed to gauge the actions of the program,
program quality and who it is indeed to. Process evaluation will help to
answer questions that are related to the program.
Impact evaluation is applied to compute the instantaneous outcomes or
effects of the program and is associated with the program goals. Impact
evaluation determines how sound the programs main objectives have been
accomplished. This evaluation measures how well the desired short-term
adjustments have been attained.
outcome evaluation deals with the long-term impacts the program and is
usually applied to measure the programs objective, it determines how well
the program objectives have been accomplished. Outcome evaluation
gauges adjustments at least 6 months after the execution of the program in
longer term basis.
The last evaluation takes the whole program into account. Whether the
program should continue, can it be probable to execute in other forms, is the
program suitable, and whether the entire program should continue.
