selecting evaluation questions/criteria

the questions should be clear and it will be the foundation for the evaluation
The quality of the evaluation depends on how well use methods to answer the questions

Research questions are not evaluation questions

• research questions are more spicific
• research questions are typically How, What, and Why questions
• research questions involves a stated hypothesis
• evaluation questions answers the "should" questions
• evaluation are based on making decisions (what are the strengths and weaknesses of the program? What resources are needed?)
• neither can truly show "cause and effect"
  

I should have a purpose statement and then some questions. (Look at the PowerPoint presentation for some examples of purpose statements and questions.)

Next time I should have a divergent phase done.
