What is an evaluation?
Bridget March
Choices? Based on what criteria?
Reviews? Comparisons? Details? Analysis?
Competition? Advice?
Evaluation involves assessing the strengths
and weaknesses of programs, policies, people, products and organizations to
improve their performance or effectiveness.
·
Identify what you have been
asked to evaluate – solutions – performance during module? – Progress?
·
Give an example - tell a story
·
Make comparisons
·
Talk about landmarks – changes,
key lessons
·
Describe how you overcome
hurdles
·
Measure yourself against the
best – professionals
·
Quote the gurus – reflect on
professionals point of views
·
What was the impact? How do you
feel?
Evaluation involves – asking questions –
analyzing, reflecting – answer questions on and judging the evidence – doing
something to act the learning – make changes!!

Reflection – what went better than expected
– what didn’t work – what you going to do next?
Comparison – other learning experiences –
past and present – future – how we like to learn
Recommend – what you’d do differently –
what would you like to learn more about – improve your practice
Organize your thoughts – themes
Use key events as headings – a visit
Thought from less complex to more complex –
from listening to learning to analyzing and criticizing
Draw attention to certain points – equally
important – further more – in particular
Indicate cause and effect progression: this
results in, for this reason
More through sequences consistently:
firstly, secondly, thirdly
