I don’t understand what you mean by “measure the distribution.” Do you want to measure how diverse/concentrated the answers are? If so, you can calculate the index of qualitative variation, which calculates how close to the maximum level of variation of a distribution is. The formula for the IQV is: 𝐼𝑄𝑉=𝐾𝐾−1∗(1−∑𝑝𝑘2𝑛𝑘−1) Where K is the number of categories, k is the specific categories, and p is the proportion in the category of k.

Hi, everyone. I get a question! Different stakeholders may have different expectations for the program evaluation. May I ask how evaluators could deal with such contradictory expectations?

Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
