2. Evaluation of Educational Planning
““Research seeks to prove,
evaluation seeks to
improve”
(Patton, 2015)

3. Introduction
Many projects in the developing countries
especially third world countries fails
successful completion not because of funds
or personnel but other factors.
Lack of understanding of the need for
monitoring and evaluation.

4. Grotelueschen and Gooler (1971) that
evaluation applies to things not yet
done.
Teklemariam and Nam (2011) that the
stakeholders in educational planning
uses a regular evaluation system to
monitor and improve the quality of
education supplied to the public (p.
169)
Honest evaluation will challenge
practices; 02/07/18 05:23 AMGroup 4

5. What is evaluation?
Evaluation and measurement?
Evaluation is not assessment.
The difference between the two lies on the
purpose for data collection.

6. Evaluation is the systematic collection of
information about activities, characteristics,
and outcomes of programs to make
judgments about the program, improve
program effectiveness and /or inform
decisions about future programming

7. What can be evaluated?
Good management = good decision.
Good decision comes from numerous
processes which first depends on good
information gotten through evaluative
process;
Good information requires good data and
careful analysis of data;
All aspects of education are normally
evaluated; 02/07/18 05:23 AMGroup 4

8. Educational policy;
Educational plans and strategies;
Educational programs;
School performance;
Community mobilization efforts;
Administrative systems;
Educational quality and learning outcomes;
Individual need assessment;
Allotment of resources;

9. processes or strategies for providing services to
learners.
These services were found to include:
design of the curriculum,
classroom processes,
materials of instruction,
monitoring of the progress of the student,
motivation of the learner, effectiveness of the
teacher, learning environment, development of
the teaching and non-teaching staff, making of
decisions, community involvement and formation
of policies of the board of the institution

10. When to conduct evaluation?
Khan (n.d) argued that evaluation is done
from the conception to completion of a
plan;
includes planning a new program,
assessing developing program,
assessing stable mature program and
assessing programe after it has ended.

11. Functions of evaluation in
educational planning
Grotelueschem and Gooler (1971) elaborated
that evaluation is seen as facilitating the
fulfillment of the four basic functions of
planning by:
(i) identifying program goals,
(ii)defining alternative means of attaining these
goals;
(iii) indicating the possible consequences of
selecting each alternative, and
(iv)Providing data for the allocation of resources.

12. Evaluation functions as a means of
determining and identifying the problems
associating with program planning and
implementation.
Evaluation helps in reformation of goals
policies and strategies in projects/programs

Other functions

13. Evaluation helps during educational
planning to build capacity; which is done
either:
i. to increase funding, to enhance skills,
strengthen accountability;
ii. to improve practices that will enhance the
success of activities
02/07/18 05:23 AMGroup 4

14. Evaluation helps in predetermination
or approximation of conditions and
outcomes.
Projection is made for the futuristic
and Projection helps in expecting
possible consequences.

15. i. to ascertain the worth of time, energy
and resources invested in a
programme;
ii. to identify problems that might hinder
or prevent the achievement of set
goals; and
iii. to ensure an economical and efficient
management of scarce resources.

16. Evaluation methods
02/07/18 05:23 AMGroup 4

17. Monetary method
This method focusses on the cost-effectiveness
analysis, cost-benefit analysis and threshold.
It checks on the cost of the programme that is
about to be implemented or determination of the
cost of various components.
This method compares the cost of the programme
and its benefits against alternatives.
The cost of one progrmme planned can be better
implemented as the compared to other.

18. Overview method
As monetary analysis is not only the aspect to
be considered but also non-monetary that is in
connection with alternative plans or project.
This method suggests that programme can be
implemented with the available resources but
also focusing on the alternative such as
focusing on the impact analysis which is done.
The impact of the programme planned will
determine if the alternative is more viable.

19. Multicriteria methods
This method is exclusively quantitative,
such as goal-achievement analysis, or the
regime analysis or use a mixed method that
is both quantitative or qualitative analysis
such as when analyzing environmental
impact.
This method allows the analysis and
presentation of all available information
about existing alternative in light of criteria.

20. Determinant Factors for
Readiness of Evaluation
A systematic procedure for deciding whether
programme evaluation is justified, feasible and
even likely to provide useful information. The
important determinants of readiness for evaluation
includes:
Availability of data;
Availability of Requisite Resources;
Time Frame of evaluation;
Availability of Related Evaluation Information; and
Generalizability of Findings

22. Impact Evaluation
Impact evaluation focuses on
evaluating a particular intervention.
The impact evaluation seeks to find
if the intervention was successful in
some ways and therefore deserves
expansion within the setting.

23. Performance Evaluation
This form of evaluation checks on the
operation of a programme.
Furthermore, it checks to what extend as the
planned programme objectives been achieved
The result of this form of evaluation is
usually used by some service providers,
funders and policymakers to assess the
performance of the programme and its
accomplishment.
02/07/18 05:23 AMGroup 4

24. Process Evaluation
Questions asked:
How well is the plan being
implemented?
What barriers threaten its success?
What revision are needed?
This questions helps in
implementing decisions.
