Assess Evidence
Tracking, Pre-Post Tests, Surveys and Focus Groups
Administrative offices come in many forms, and will therefore be exploring many different types of evidence to see if their goals are being met. It is possible, however, to break down different types of evidence, and their associated assessment tools, by the type of question you are asking.
Type of Question | Appropriate Tools |
---|---|
How many/ how much of something (time, people, services) | Track totals, averages, and percentages |
Whether population has learned something (knowledge, skills) | Conduct pre-post tests |
How a population feels/ experiences something | Conduct surveys, interviews, and focus groups |
