A formal contract is needed to engage an external evaluator and a written agreement covering similar issues can also be used to document agreements about an internal evaluator.方法Explaining
‘Explaining’ involves using qualitative work to understand unanticipated results from quantitative data.方法Examining
‘Examining’ refers to generating hypotheses from qualitative work to be tested through the quantitative approach.方法Enriching
‘Enriching’ is achieved by using qualitative work to identify issues or obtain information on variables not obtained by quantitative surveys.方法Integrated design
Integrated Design is an approach to mixed options evaluation where qualitative and quantitative data are integrated into an overall design.方法Component design
Component design is an approach to mixed methods evaluation that conducts qualitative components of the evaluation separately to quantitative components and then combines the data at the time of report writing.方法Systematic review
A systematic review is an approach to synthesising evidence from multiple studies.方法Outcomes hierarchy
An outcomes hierarchy shows all the outcomes (from short-term to longer-term) required to bring about the ultimate goal of an intervention.方法Negative programme theory
Most programme theories, logic models and theories of change show how an intervention is expected to contribute to positive impacts; Negative programme theory, a technique developed by Carol Weiss, shows how it might produce negative impact方法Mural
A mural, a large drawing on the wall, can be used to collect data from a group of people about the current situation, their experiences using a service, or their perspectives on the outcomes from a project.方法Projective techniques
Projective techniques, originally developed for use in psychology, can be used in an evaluation to provide a prompt for interviews.方法Advisory group
An advisory group can be established to provide advice on an individual evaluation, a series of evaluations, or the evaluation function within an organization.方法Matched Comparisons
When using Matched Comparisons, participants (individuals, organizations or communities) are each matched with a non-participant on variables that are thought to be relevant which can be difficult to adequately match on all relevant criteri方法Rich pictures
A rich picture is a way to explore, acknowledge and define a situation and express it through diagrams to create a preliminary mental model and can help to open discussion and come to a broad, shared understanding of a situation.方法Dotmocracy
Dotmocracy is an established facilitation method for collecting and recognizing levels of agreement on written statements among a large number of people.方法Instrumental variables
This method is used to estimate the causal effect of variables on an intervention.方法Institutional review board
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are committees that are set up by organizations to review the technical and ethical dimensions of a research or evaluation project.方法Images
Written reports and presentations should always include images. Beyond just charts and graphs, photographs or drawings increase the relevancy of the material to the audience and make the report more engaging.方法Colour
Blocks of background colour can help group similar items or separate reporting elements like sidebars. Text intended for narrative reading should be set in black or dark grey on a white or very light background.方法Arrangement
Arranging text and graphics on a page or slide can be a challenge for those not familiar with graphic design. Some basic principles can be easily implemented and boost readability and engagement.方法Icon array
An icon array is a display in which one shape is repeated a specific number of times (usually 10, 100 or 1,000) and then some of the shapes are altered in some way (usually by colour) to represent a proportion.方法Slopegraph
A slopegraph is a lot like a line graph, in that it plots change between points however, a slopegraph plots the change between only two points, without any kind of regard for the points in between.方法Split axis bar graph
While many graph types geared toward comparisons ask the viewer to subtract the difference between the heights of two bars or the space between two points on a line, a deviation bar graph simply graphs the difference.方法Bullet graph
Bullet graphs encode a single variable as a bar.方法Dot plot
Dot plots encode single data points with circles, often on a line.方法Deviation bar graph
Deviation bar graphs are simply two bar charts aligned, where one of the charts runs right to left rather than left to right.方法Small multiples
Small multiples are an array of graphs on the same scale that are grouped together in a row or grid and are often used to simplify a data display.方法
