CHAPTER 14: Assessment and Evaluation in Health Education


Questions of Fact:

1. How does the process of evaluation differ from the process of assessment?

- The process of assessment focuses on initially gathering, summarizing,


interpreting, and using data to decide a direction for action. In contrast to process
of evaluation, it involves gathering, interpreting, summarizing and using data after
an activity has been completed to determine the extent of an action was
successful. The difference between these are in the timing and the purpose of each
process.

2. What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?

- The formative assessment or process evaluation is to make necessary adjustments


to an educational activity as soon as they are identified, it is component of the
ongoing education cycle assessment, planning and implementation, while
summative assessment or outcome evaluation is to determine the effects of
teaching efforts. Unlike process evaluation that occurs currently with the teaching
learning experience, outcome evaluation is after teaching has been completed.

3. What are the five basic types (levels) of evaluation as described by Aburezzese in her
RSA Evaluation Model?

- The five types of evaluation include process, content, outcome, impact, and
program. Abruzzese describes the first four types as levels of evaluation leading
from the simple (process evaluation) to the complex (impact evaluation.) Total
program evaluation encompasses and summarizes the four level.

4. Which data collection methods can be used in conducting an evaluation of educational


interventions? Why?

- The types of data that are collected about educational acitivities or programs
general include such factors as cost, length, number of educators required,
teaching-learning methods used, amount and type of materials requires and so on.

5. Describe the three barriers to evaluation.

- Lack of clarity- if the focus for evaluation is unclear, unstated, or not well
defined then an evaluation is difficult if its purpose or what is result is unknown.
Lack of ability- inability to conduct education evaluations most often result from
lack of knowledge, confidence, interest or resources.
Fear of punishment or loss of self-esteem –evaluation might be perceived as a
judgment of someone’s value or personal worth.

6. What are the three guidelines to follow in reporting the results of an evaluation?
Describe.

- Be audience focused- the purpose for conducting an evaluation is to provide


information for decision making by primary audience.
Stick to the Evaluation Purpose- should keep the main body of an evaluation
report focused on information that fulfils the purpose for conducting the
evaluation.
Use Data as Intended- should maintain consistency with actual data when
reporting and interpreting findings.

Questions on Case Study (page 628):

1. Which type of evaluation would be most relevant to the nurse manager’s concern? Why?

- Process or Formative Evaluation is the most relevant type of evaluation to the


nurse manager’s concern because it’s main purpose is to make necessary
adjustment to an educational activity as soon as they are identified, such as
changes in personnel, materials, facilities, teaching methods, learning objectives
or even the educators own attitude.

2. Putting yourself into Sharon’s place, describe in detail an evaluation that you would
conduct with the patients as the primary audience.

- I will conduct the Outcome or Summative Evaluation which determines effects of


teaching effort. The patient use of information in day-to-day life.
