| Abstract: This interactive skills based workshop will enable participants to engage in a participatory process of determining evaluation criteria and standards with key stakeholders - in other words - determining value. Criteria are the aspects of an evaluation that define whether it is good or bad and whether or not it is valuable or not valuable. It is important to be clear when planning an evaluation about the evaluation criteria to be used as it helps to ensure that relevant data is collected, that stakeholders know how quality and success will be determined and provides clarity about what you need to get right. Participants will practice developing evaluation criteria for determining the value of an object and will set standards for what makes the object 'good'. We will then use a model programme logic from which participants will develop evaluation criteria and standards for an intervention and an outcome. Participants will also be asked to consider the key sources of data and data collection methods that could be used to ensure data relevant to the criteria is collected. Participants will be provided with a resource and templates to use in their future evaluation planning. |
