Types of Evaluation

 Here’s a table summarizing the “Types of Evaluation” based on key characteristics, purposes, and typical applications:

Type of Evaluation	Purpose	When to Use	Key Characteristics	Examples of Use
Formative Evaluation	To improve project design and implementation.	During project development or early stages.	Provides feedback for refining project activities. Engages stakeholders in the planning process.	Used in education or program development to refine teaching strategies or intervention plans before full implementation.
Summative Evaluation	To assess the overall effectiveness and outcomes of a project.	At the end of a project or program.	Measures success in achieving the intended objectives. Provides accountability and insights for future projects.	Used by donors or stakeholders to determine whether to continue, scale, or replicate a project.
Process Evaluation	To assess whether project activities are implemented as planned.	During the implementation phase of a project.	Focuses on the operational aspects of the project. Identifies any challenges or deviations from the plan.	Used in healthcare programs to ensure that services are delivered efficiently and consistently.
Impact Evaluation	To assess the long-term effects and changes brought about by the project.	After a project has been completed (may take years).	Examines causal relationships and the lasting impacts of the project on participants or the environment.	Used in development programs to measure changes in poverty levels or health outcomes.
Outcome Evaluation	To measure the immediate results and effects of the project.	Toward the end or just after project completion.	Focuses on short-term changes, such as behavior or knowledge improvements.	Used in social programs to assess improvements in education, health, or income following a specific intervention.
Cost-effectiveness Evaluation	To determine if the outcomes justify the costs of the project.	During or after project completion.	Compares the costs involved with the benefits achieved.	Used by donors or governments to decide whether to scale up interventions based on their efficiency and impact.

The importance of Evaluation in the Learning Process. 

     Education is a fairly long process, where evaluation is used as a systematic, permanent and objective need, which helps guide the student based on the examination of the results with respect to the stated objectives. Where through assessment, the teacher can give the reality of his students.

     Evaluation is a systematic activity or process of identifying, collecting or processing data on educational elements or facts, with the objective of first evaluating them and, based on said evaluation, making decisions (García Ramos, 1989).

     That is why the evaluation is characterized by being a process, where information is collected, then interpreted and we consider the results obtained, which can be given as a numerical qualification, but requires an evaluative judgment that allows the teacher make pertinent decisions according to each case or need to guide his actions directly to the requirements of the students.

     With all of the above, it can be stated that evaluation has a great and broad role within everything that corresponds to the entire scope of the educational system and that thanks to this, it can be verified whether the participants of a course achieved the goals and objectives that were set from the beginning, being a strategy that provides greater support to students, and that thanks to the methodologies they are strengthened in the teaching-learning process, effectively.
