  1. Impact Evaluation has on Decision Making Evaluation is an important part of the decision making process. It assesses all areas of a program from meeting goals to the use of resources. This information is then used to make changes or revisions as needed. http://www.apartmentwiz.com/images/apartment_living/apartment_glossary/administrative_fee_dollar_sign.jpg http://www.wilsonwebsiteconsultants.com/about/Mix_race_group_of_people2.jpg http://www.creativewatch.co.uk/pimages/radio-contolled-office-clocks-silver-large.jpg

  2. Discrepancy Model The discrepancy evaluation model is used throughout the entire program. It assesses all areas to show stakeholders things that are working and things that need attention. Its main focus rests with why something occurred instead of the fact that it occurred in the first place. http://sw.esc1.net/12931098114138373/lib/12931098114138373/images/checklist.jpg

  3. Transaction Model The transaction evaluation model allows for the evaluator to be an active participant in the program. The evaluator remains subjective throughout the process and continually provides feedback to the staff and participants. This model can either be goal free or goal based. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=money+exchange+clipart&view=detail&id=460CFA474C805D10AB97FF1204FAB64E92135A7C&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR

  4. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data Quantitative data is collected through observation, studies, artifacts and surveys. With this type of data, the focus is on what is happening presently. Quantitative data is collected through scales, measures, and counts. This type of data is geared more toward results. http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/scale.gif

  5. Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio Nominal data uses one item for ordering, such as gender. Ordinal data ranks data in order but doesn’t have equal intervals between ranks. Interval data also ranks and does include equal intervals between ranks, such as school grades. Ratio data uses all of the above and also includes an absolute zero point, such as a temperature scale. http://homelandfundraising.com/wrist%20band%20art/silicone%20wrist%20bands.jpg http://math.phillipmartin.info/math_ordinal_numbers.htm http://www.faqs.org/photo-dict/photofiles/list/620/4139ruler.jpg http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6567102-0-large.jpg

  6. Data Instruments The four instruments I have identified are interviews, sentence completion, tests, and observation. http://media.photobucket.com/image/interview/rev_images/Rev/images.jpg?o=12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Originalml.jpg http://www.nepadentalassisting.org/images/test-clip-art.jpg http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=observation+pictures&FORM=IGRE&qpvt=observation+pictures&adlt=strict#focal=3d07358a1600274b84ed1c16623deb44&furl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.owlnet.rice.edu%2F~jmn1%2Ftelescope.jpg

  7. Formative vs. Summative Formative evaluations are used to inform stakeholders of a program of their progress. They are usually completed during development. Summative evaluations are completed at the end of a program and used by decision makers to make changes, modify, revise, or eliminate things as needed. http://www.clker.com/cliparts/e/2/3/7/11949858491812712425information_sign_mo_01.svg.hi.png http://www.clker.com/cliparts/e/c/7/f/12279747201935634103rg1024_Presentation_with_girl.svg.hi.png

  8. Population vs. Sample Population is the entire size of a group involved with a certain program that is being evaluated. Sample is a percentage of the population that has been chosen to participate with the evaluation of a particular program. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/414363873_543f6b2074.jpg http://academic.kellogg.edu/mckayg/buad112/web/pres/people.jpg

  9. Reliability vs. Validity Reliability focuses on the strength of information and how it holds up with relation to the program being evaluated. Validity is the accuracy of the information being used to evaluate, such as how often desired results will occur. http://www.hasslefreeclipart.com/clipart_sports/images/weightlifting_barbell.gif http://i.b5z.net/i/l/CLIP_ART/Business/Misc/CHEKLIST.GIF

  10. Independent vs. Dependent Variables Independent variables are variables that can be controlled or manipulated to alter the results of a concept in question. Dependent variables are variables that are dependent on the manipulation of other variables before their changes can be observed or recorded.

  11. Criterion Referenced vs. Norm Referenced Assessment Criterion referenced assessments are those that assess whether all the goals and objectives have been met. Norm referenced assessments focus on rating individual results on a scale that ranks them among others in the same group. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LpjrGGRyvao/SPsfDaHGTzI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/QBZ929pPtOo/s400/clipart-pencil-checklist.gif http://images.hitwise.com/newsletter_images/uk200511-dist.gif
