Methodological Briefs Critères d’évaluation AUTHOR(S) Greet Peersman Published: 2016 Methodological Briefs Les critères d’évaluation précisent les valeurs qui seront utilisées dans une évaluation. La présente note aborde spécifiquement leur utilisation dans les évaluations d’impact (études qui fournissent des informations sur les effets à long terme d’une intervention ; voir la Note n° 1, Présentation de l’évaluation d’impact), bien que ces critères puissent être utilisés dans différents types d’évaluation. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 20 | Thematic area: Knowledge management | Tags: research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Greet Peersman 2016 Critères d’évaluation . , pp. 20.

Methodological Briefs Evaluative Reasoning: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 4 AUTHOR(S) E. Jane Davidson Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs Decision makers frequently need evaluation to help them work out what to do to build on strengths and address weaknesses. To do so, they must know not only what the strengths and weaknesses are, but also which are the most important or serious, and how well or poorly the programme or policy is performing on them. Evaluative reasoning is the process of synthesizing the answers to lower- and mid-level evaluation questions into defensible judgements that directly answer the key evaluation questions. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 18 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: decision making, evaluation, research, research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION E.

Methodological Briefs Participatory Approaches: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 5 AUTHOR(S) Irene Guijt Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs Using participatory approaches in impact evaluation means involving stakeholders, particularly the participants in a programme or those affected by a given policy, in specific aspects of the evaluation process. The term covers a wide range of different types of participation and stakeholders can be involved at any stage of the impact evaluation process, including: its design, data collection, analysis, reporting and managing the study. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 23 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: evaluation, participatory impact assessment, participatory research, research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Irene Guijt 2014 Participatory Approaches: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 5. , pp. 23.
Methodological Briefs Overview: Strategies for Causal Attribution: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 6 AUTHOR(S) Patricia Rogers Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs One of the essential elements of an impact evaluation is that it not only measures or describes changes that have occurred but also seeks to understand the role of particular interventions (i.e., programmes or policies) in producing these changes. This process is known as causal attribution. In impact evaluation, there are three broad strategies for causal attribution: 1) estimating the counterfactual; 2) checking the consistency of evidence for the causal relationships made explicit in the theory of change; and 3) ruling out alternative explanations, through a logical, evidence-based process. The ‘best fit’ strategy for causal attribution depends on the evaluation context as well as what is being evaluated. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 16 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: evaluation techniques, evaluative studies, programme evaluation, research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Patricia Rogers 2014 Overview: Strategies for Causal Attribution: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 6. , pp. 16.
Methodological Briefs Overview: Data Collection and Analysis Methods in Impact Evaluation: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 10 AUTHOR(S) Greet Peersman Published: 2014 Methodological Briefs Impact evaluations need to go beyond assessing the size of the effects (i.e., the average impact) to identify for whom and in what ways a programme or policy has been successful. What constitutes ‘success’ and how the data will be analysed and synthesized to answer the specific key evaluation questions (KEQs) must be considered up front as data collection should be geared towards the mix of evidence needed to make appropriate judgements about the programme or policy. This brief provides an overview of the issues involved in choosing and using data collection and analysis methods for impact evaluations. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 21 | Thematic area: Ethical research, Knowledge management | Tags: data analysis, data collection, evaluation, research methodology × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Greet Peersman 2014 Overview: Data Collection and Analysis Methods in Impact Evaluation: Methodological Briefs - Impact Evaluation No. 10. , pp. 21.
