What are the three types of evaluation designs
Experimental Designs, Quasi-experimental designs, and non-expermintal designs
What are experimental designs
- Offers the greatest control over the confounding variables
- Involves random assignment to experimental and control groups with measurement of both groups
- Produces the most interpretable and defensible evidence of effectiveness.
What are Quasi-experimental designs
- Results in interpretable and supportive evidence of program effectiveness
- Usually cannot control for all factors that affect the validity of the results
- No random assignment to the groups
- Comparisons are made on experimental and comparison groups.
What are non-experimental designs
•Without the use of a comparison or control group, has little control over the factors that affect the validity of the results.
