Professional Development for Program Evaluation: Evaluation for Adult Literacy and Basic Education Programs.
Stoessiger, Rex; Pugh, Roy
This professional development program is designed to improve the understanding of Australian personnel working in adult literacy and basic education (ALBE) of the range of approaches and methods used to achieve different evaluation purposes. It is an adaptation of "A Guide to Program Evaluation" (included here), a detailed guide for people working in the ALBE field. The course is composed of six modules. The modules cover the following: introduction to evaluation and an overview of evaluation issues; evaluation approaches and methodologies; information collection alternatives; collecting and analyzing evaluative information; reporting and ensuring outcomes; and good practice in evaluation. Components of each module are as follows: an overview (duration; purpose; pre- or corequisites; summary of content; delivery; learning outcome; assessment criteria, conditions, and method; suggested resources); contents page; presenter's guidelines that provide a detailed description on how to present the units; transparency masters; and handouts. An appendix contains three case studies (evaluations) of ALBE projects that have been rewritten in an easily accessible style to provide examples of how evaluation projects have been conducted. (YLB)
