The direction of this workshop is toward two major goals: (1) participant understanding of the kinds of information an evaluation can provide for educational decision making; and (2) participant understanding of the general procedures and problems involved in selecting, collecting, analyzing, and reporting that information. It is the intent of the workshop to provide a familiarity with essential evaluation skills. This is based on the objectives of the workshop; which are as follows: to distinguish the major characteristics of the Center For the Study of Evaluation (CSE) evaluation framework, and be able to properly categorize evaluation activities using the framework; to apply specific evaluation techniques which are appropriate for major evaluation activities in the CSE framework; to specify appropriate measurement devices, and design and analyses procedures for evaluation questions; and to interpret evaluation results and make informed recommendations to decision makers.
