Approaches to Qualitative Evaluation
- To clarify the purpose of your evaluation, start by identifying what you need to learn in the short and long term. Review your Evaluation SOW and Timeline.
- Key items to think about when writing your purpose are:
- Make sure to include decision makers, the decisions at hand, and projects being evaluated.
- What are you hoping to learn from the evaluation?
- How to improve and build up the program.
- Which evaluation activities were successful.
- What needs to be changed in regard to data collection
- What decisions do you expect to make as a result of the evaluation?
- Whether or not we need more data.
- Making sure data is not outdated.
- Whether or not we need to conduct more surveys or questionnaires
- What do you need to do to provide evidence of the completion of your project?
- Study the project thoroughly.
- Perform testings at regular intervals.
