Evaluation is an effective way to improve the quality of individual activities and of a program as a whole. It prompts a considered and structured review of the intentions and outcomes of each initiative and leads to recommendations regarding future activities and implementation.
There are four main steps in an evaluation.
- Specify questions.
- Collect data related to the questions.
- Analyse and interpret data
once you have collated and organised it. Use the data to respond to the evaluation questions. The data provides the evidence for decisions about the worth and effectiveness of an activity.
- Report findings and make recommendations.
Evaluating an initiative or program usually leads to modifications in future activities. For example, changes could produce:
- more appropriate teaching strategies
- more effective assessment and evaluation
- more efficient and effective use of resources
- increased awareness and understanding of the purposes and processes of educational programs by the school and community
- enhanced accountability.
