The document outlines five types of evaluation: formative, summative, process, outcome, and impact, each serving different purposes in assessing program effectiveness and implementation. It details the methods, goals, and significance of these evaluations in monitoring progress and achieving objectives. Additionally, it describes the phases and steps involved in program evaluation, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder engagement and evidence gathering.

4. There are 5 types of evaluation
 Formative: Evaluates a program during development
in order to make early improvements. ...
 Summative: Provides information on program
effectiveness. ...
 Process : Focuses on program implementation. ...
 Outcomes:
 Impact. :

6. Formative assessment
 a rigorous assessment process designed to
identify potential and actual influences on the
progress and effectiveness of implementation
efforts.
 Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which
means that they have low or no point value. Examples
of formative assessments include asking students
to: draw a concept map in class to represent their
understanding of a topic. submit one or two
sentences identifying the main point of a lecture.

7. Summative evaluation
 The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate
student learning at the end of an instructional
unit by comparing it against some standard or
benchmark.
 Summative assessments are often high stakes, which
means that they have a high point value. Examples of
summative assessments include: a midterm exam. a
final project.

8. Process evaluation
 A process evaluation examines the extent to which a
program is operating as intended by assessing
ongoing program operations and determining
whether the target population is being served.
 A process evaluation focuses on the
implementation process and attempts to
determine how successfully the project followed
the strategy laid out in the logic model.
 a process evaluation focuses on the first three
segments of the logic model (inputs, activities,
outcome)

9. Outcome evaluation
 Outcome evaluation is a method of determining how
well a program achieved its objectives by measuring
results. To ascertain how well a program achieved desired
objectives, it is first important to have clearly defined
objectives. Next, there must be a way to measure how well
the objectives are being achieved.
 Impact or outcome evaluations are undertaken when it is
important to know whether and how well the
objectives of a project or program were met. For
example, outcome questions for a smoking cessation
program might include: Did the program succeed in
helping people to stop smoking?

10. Impact evaluation
 Impact evaluation is an assessment of how the
intervention being evaluated affects. outcomes,
whether these effects are intended or unintended.
 What Are the Steps in Implementing an Impact
Assessment?
 Select the Project(s) to be Assessed.
 Conduct an Evaluability Assessment.
 Prepare a Research Plan.
 Contract and Staff the Impact Assessment.
 Carry out the Field Research and Analyze its Results.
 Disseminate the Impact Assessment Findings.

11. Program evaluation
 Evaluation is the systematic application of
scientific methods to assess the design,
implementation, improvement or outcomes of a
program
 Program evaluation can include any or a variety of at
least 35 different types of evaluation, such as for needs
assessments, accreditation, cost/benefit analysis,
effectiveness, efficiency, formative, summative,
goal- based, process, outcomes, etc.

12. Types of program evaluation
 It is important to understand the different types of
evaluation that can be conducted over a program's life-
cycle and when they should be used. The main types of
evaluation are process, impact, outcome and
summative evaluation.

13. Steps in program evaluation
 The program evaluation process goes through four
phases — planning, implementation, completion,
and dissemination and reporting — that
complement the phases of program development and
implementation.

14. Goals of PE
 The purpose of program evaluation is to
systematically collect information about program
activities and objectives, monitor progress, and to
report and communicate results to network
members, partners, stakeholders, and
community.

15.  A framework for program evaluation
 Engage stakeholders.
 Describe the program.
 Focus the evaluation design.
 Gather credible evidence.
 Justify conclusions.
 Ensure use and share lessons learned.
