Hello. I have never participated in any evaluation work before. I’ve read some evaluation reports and found them to be like research papers. It is very confusing to me as I failed to identify the difference between program evaluation and basic research. May I ask if they are the same thing?

Hi. Still, I am very curious I know if if internal evaluators and external evaluators can work together in one program evaluation? As the internal evaluators may be less objective while the external evaluators may be less trusted.

Another question… Regarding our previous discussion, I wonder if I could say that external and internal evaluators are more appropriate for different forms of evaluations? For example, it may be easier for internal evaluators to perform a formative evaluation.

The topic of comparing external and internal evaluators is so interesting! May I ask which quality is more important to an evaluator? Being objective or being trusted? Based on the previous discussion, it sounds like those external evaluators are more likely to be objective while less likely to be trusted.

Following my previous post, could you further comprehensively explain the advantages of external evaluators? Since more evaluations are conducted by evaluators outside the organizations.

It’s said that the evaluators can be clarified into internal and external evaluators according to their relations with the organizations asking for evaluation services. It seems that external evaluators often are professionals from university or academic institutions. Could anyone kindly give me a clue about the advantages of internal evaluators for the evaluation?

I understand that program evaluation can provide feedback for sponsors to decide whether the program should be started, continued, or chosen from two or more alternatives. I wonder if the project will be terminated when the evaluation results are not good

Hello, friend! May I ask if there’s a sequential order of the evaluation elements, including needs assessment, process examination, and the measurement of outcome, impact, and cost? And is it recommended for an evaluator to follow this order?

Hello. I found that it’s often for the government to support several similar programs, that is, providing very similar services to the same target group, such as the services for the victims of domestic violence. May I ask, in such context, should evaluators compare the effectiveness of different similar programs for a better understanding?

Could anyone kindly let me know the differences or similarities between “outcomes” and “impacts” in program evaluation? In my understanding, the impacts are classifiable as outcomes as well, is that right?
