Document Summary
The term approaches refer to formative, process, and summative evaluation and suggests. Chapter 14: evaluation approaches and designs these types of evaluation are distinct. Designs are diagrams that display steps or association between elements in the evaluation process, often including specific and unique notations. Designs relate exclusively to summative evaluation whereas process and formative evaluations are typically defined with descriptions of strategies, summative evaluations are generally associated with experiments. Focuses on the quality of program content and program implementation. Some elements occur before the start of the implementation phase and help ensure that a program and its elements have been conceptualized and developed properly. Collects data and informs stakeholders of important findings that could potentially improve a program or its delivery, and allows for appropriate changes before the program is fully implemented and completed. Programs are being improved based on feedback collected in the evaluation process. Formative evaluation occurs from the time of program inception through implementation.
