  4. Why do we evaluate our programs? • to evaluate how far the program has achieved its goals. • to determine the short and long term impacts of the program. • to have regular recording and monitoring system in order to gather information from the field which we implement the program.

  5. Ongoing Evaluation

  6. Ongoing Evaluation • We evaluate all the participant mothers per year. • We use pluralistic perspective evaluation (Group leader, Mother, Child) • Qualitative ve quantitative research methods used together • All componants of the program is evaluated (Group meetings, Cognitive training program implementation, Home visits)

  7. Impact Evaluation • Effects on children • Pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills • Environmental differences • Gender differences • School success • Teachers’ perception of the child • Effects on mother child interaction • Effects on mothers

  8. Impact Evaluation

  9. Impact Evaluation • Quasi experimental design is used. • The duration for preparation phase of the research took nearly 1 year. • Short and long term impacts have been assessed. • Sample was constituted of 177 children (85 experiment group, 92 control group) • Control group was matched with the experimental group on certain characteristics. • Research has been carried out in four different regions, in four different provinces. • Pluralistic perspective evaluation has been carried out (mother, teacher, child) • Trainer seminars are also regularly evaluated per year.
