PROGRAMME PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION 2(1+1)

Lesson 22 : Importance of Monitoring and Evaluation

Assumptions of Evaluation

1. The method used in programmes to bring about changes is educational, not compulsive.
2. Learning in the programme is expressed in changes of behaviour, skill, knowledge and attitudes.
3. Success of the programme must be measured by the extent to which educational changes are attained.
4. Evaluation is not the main purpose of a programme, hence the programme should not be burdened and diverted from its main task by excessive record keeping.
