Task 12: Approaches To Evaluation

Evaluation approaches are distinct ways to think about, design, and conduct evaluation efforts.
Certain evaluation approaches help solve problems; others refine existing approaches. The following
resources outline the types of evaluation approaches: outcome-based, impact, process, and
participatory evaluation designs

Evaluation is the periodic systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or completed

project, program, or policy including its design, implementation, and results

The kind of oriented approaches, are:

 Expert-oriented approaches
- Primarily quantitative method is used
- Do not consider stakeholders
- Used by regulatory agencies and test administering entities
 Consumer oriented approaches
- Focused on the customer or user
- Data collection method is mostly quantitative
- Focuses on products
 Theory-based approaches
- Evaluator refers to the theory of change developed for the program
- Mixed method is used
- Program implementers are the main focus
- Other stakeholder involvement is secondary
 Goal-free evaluation approaches
- Evaluators do not focus on program goals or objectives
- Carry along stakeholders
- Reduce bias of knowing the goals, and working towards the goals
- Do not refer to project indicators
 Utilized-focused evaluation (UFE)
- Evaluation is conducted with specific users in mind
- Could help primary users of evaluation to be more intentional during the design phase
- Uses mixed methods
 Development evaluation
- Conducted over a longer period of time
- Data collection could be done by program implementers
- Evaluator is embedded within the project as a facilitator of learning
- Learning is continuos throughout the period of program implementation
- Castly
 Responsive evaluation
- Approaches do not involve stakeholders, but specific to implementers
- Method is primarily qualitative-learning towards more of observation
- Does not test theories, bur uses local knowledge In evaluating programs
