Data
Collection in Evaluation
Evaluators collect data in
many ways, and always collect data in as many ways as possible and from as many sources
as possible. Examples of
some data
collection methods and purposes are:
behavior observation checklist
to record how frequently teachers use a new teaching reinforcement technique
interviews with students about
their reactions towards a technology-based curriculum
journals to record student
reflections on a new classroom management strategy
parental and staff surveys to
assess opinions about a new policy
On average, we conduct 30
survey research projects every year, involving over 30,000 respondents. Student and parent
surveys are conducted to evaluate school climate.
Surveys are a frequently used
method of data collection to help individual schools fulfill accountability requirements.
Survey design is a careful
process to ensure that survey questions are unambiguous and able to yield accurate
information.
