Evaluation of NFE

UNIT 4 – EVALUATION
Evaluation of NFE
* Fundamental part of NFE. Every extension activity involves a conscious or unconscious appraisal
of progress and effectiveness. Evaluation of program progress reveals strengths and weaknesses
and helps improve the program.
Some Basic Principles
* 1. Evaluation of NFE work should be well planned and clearly defined in scope as to what phase
of a program is to be evaluated.
* 2. NFE teachers themselves should take part in evaluation. Self- appraisal helps those who carry
out a program. It can be usually combined with appraisal by an outside person.
* 3. Everyday evaluation should be continuous and integrated with the program development
process from its planning stage to the end.
* 4. Reliable and effective devices should be used.
* 5. Careful analysis and interpretation of findings should be considered when an evaluation study
is being planned
* 6. Evaluation should be more concerned with the achievement of behavioral changes than with
the number of participants, meetings, hours, items prepared etc.
Areas in NFE Considered for Evaluation
1. Situation Analysis
- Evaluation starts with an investigation of the situation before a program is initiated. Consider
the persons involved, general situation and related programs
2. Program Planning
Evaluation helps to relate a program to actual conditions, and to adjust it to changing needs
during its progress.
3. Program Action
What is being accomplished during the course of the program, and what adjustments need to be
made?
4. Teaching Methods
Evaluation service as a check on teaching method used. Which method/s is/are more effective in
a certain situation? Are the methods appropriate and suitable?
5. Results
Evaluation determines the extent to which the objectives have been reached. How much of the
planned program has been accomplished and how long has the program accomplished its
objectives? Was the information collected in the beginning sufficient.
