Chapter IV CHES Flashcards
Qualitative
Is descriptive in nature, deeper understanding.
Quantitative
Focuses on quantifying or measuring.
Formative evaluation
Looks at ongoing process of evaluation from planning through implementation.
Summative evaluation
Is often associated with measures or judgments that enable the investigator to draw conclusions. It is also commonly associated with impact and outcome evaluations.
Process evaluation
Is any combination of measures that occur as a program is implemented to assure or improve the quality of performance or delivery.
Impact evaluation
Focuses on immediate and observable effects of a program leading to the desired outcomes.
When composing ________ questions it is best to avoid:
- assumptions that everyone has a common basis of knowledge
- abbreviations
- leading questions that demand a specific response
- questions that use two negative words
- long list of choices
- recall questions over extended time frames
quantitative
When composing _________ questions it is best to avoid:
- items that ask a “yes/no” question or those that invite a specific and often brief answer
- being too broad to capture useful information
- being too specific with probing items
- asking too many questions
qualitative
When preparing NEW data collection instruments for research, what should you keep in mind?
- Easy to understand and complete introduction
- Ask only questions that provide useful information
- Easy to use language
Before using EXISTING instruments, what is important to consider?
- If the item is appropriate for the intended purpose
- Is the language appropriate for the population
- Whether a test has been performed using a sample from the intended population
- To whom you should give credit for using the item
Formative evaluation looks at a/an…………………………process of evaluation from planning though implementation.
ongoing
Impact evaluation focused on ……………………and ……………………………effects of a program leading to desired outcomes.
immediate and observable
……………………..refers to the consistency, dependability and stability of the measurement process
Reliability
………………………is the degree to which a test or assessment measures what is intended to measure.
Validity
A published quantitative review of a comprehensive synthesis of publications on particular topics.
Systematic reviews
A systematic method of evaluating statistical data based on results of several independent studies of the same problem.
Meta-analysis
Example of INPUTS of logic model to guide the evaluation process is
resources, contributions and other investments that go into a program.
