Based on a review of the definitions, there are three key components of evaluation:
- Firstly, who is doing evaluation?
- Secondly, what is the purpose of the evaluation?
- Thirdly, whom the evaluation is done?
An assumption underpinning this course is that ‘evaluation is an analytical process that is intrinsic to good teaching’ (Ramsden, 2003, p. 209).
In the educational evaluation context, Nevo (1983) suggested ten questions to drive the discussion/review of what evaluation entails.
These ten questions can provide a scaffold for you to consider in planning your mini-evaluation which is one of the main activities for this course.
- Firstly, how is evaluation define?
- Secondly, what are the functions of evaluation?
- Thirdly, what are the objects of evaluation?
- Further, what kinds of information should be collect regarding each object
- Further, what criteria should be used to judge the merit and worth of an evaluate object?
- Finally, who should be serve by an evaluation?
- What is the process of doing an evaluation?
- What methods of inquiry should be used in evaluation?
- Who should do evaluation?
- By what standards should evaluation be judge?
