REPORTING EXPLANATION
PLANNING PHASE
1. SITUATION ANALYSIS- means studying the current situation to understand the
problem, needs, and context before making a plan. It helps identify strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges so that the evaluation can focus on the most
important areas.
For example, if you're evaluating a school program, a situation analysis might look at
student performance, teacher feedback, and available resources to see what is working
well and what needs improvement.
2. DETERMINATION OF OBJECTIVES means setting clear and specific goals for what
the evaluation should achieve. These objectives help guide the evaluation by defining
what needs to be measured and analyzed.
For example, if evaluating a school program, objectives might include:
Assessing if students improved their skills.
Identifying challenges faced by teachers.
Measuring student engagement and participation.
3. SELECTION OF DEVELOPMENT AND MEASURING INSTRUments means
choosing the right tools and methods to collect information. These instruments help
measure progress, effectiveness, and outcomes based on the evaluation objectives.
For example, if evaluating a school program, you might use:
Surveys to gather feedback from students and teachers.
Interviews to get detailed insights from participants.
Tests or quizzes to measure student learning.
4. SELECTION OF STRATEGIES means choosing the best approach to carry out the
evaluation effectively. This includes deciding how data will be collected, analyzed, and
interpreted to achieve the evaluation objectives.
For example, if evaluating a school program, strategies might include:
Quantitative methods (using numbers, like test scores and surveys).
Qualitative methods (using observations and interviews for deeper insights).
Mixed methods (combining both for a complete picture).
Sampling techniques (deciding who and how many people will be included in the
evaluation).
