This three-day course will be held March 23–25, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST each day.

Successful evaluation depends on our ability to generate evidence attesting to the feasibility, relevance/effectiveness of the interventions, services, or products we study. While theory guides our designs and how we organize our work, it is measurement that provides the evidence we use in making judgments about the quality of what we evaluate. The quality of inferences made in evaluation is directly related to the quality of the measurement influencing our judgments.

This course will cover:

• Assessing measurement precision: Examining the precision of measures in relationship to the degree of accuracy that is needed for what is being evaluated.
• Quantification: Do response options/coding categories segment the respondent sample in meaningful and useful ways?
• Issues and considerations for using existing measures versus developing your own measures
• Criteria for choosing measures
• Balancing measurement precision and error
