Evaluation for education & psychology

Using a clear and easy-to-follow style, Evaluation for Education and Psychology presents a step-by-step approach for educational and psychological program evaluation, from reviewing the initial program design to presenting the final report. Using numerous examples and excerpts from programs that include students in all grades as well as adult, vocational, and continuing education, Fink's book covers such topics as setting standards of effectiveness, qualitative evaluation methods (including participatory evaluation), selecting an evaluation design, analyzing data including how to read a computer printout, cost benefits, how to make a slide or transparency for an oral presentation, and ways to budget an evaluation as well as ways to reduce costs. In addition, this volume includes a number of devices to aid the reader: a running example throughout the book so that the reader can follow each step of an evaluation through the entire process; each chapter opens with an overview and a reader's guide for the chapter; step-by-step guidelines are given for the use of expert panels, choosing a data source, conducting a meta-analysis, etc.; checklists of do's and don'ts and each chapter ends with a summary, exercises, and a suggested readings list. (Answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book.).
