To evaluate a program designed to improve math scores for elementary school girls, girls were divided into treatment and control groups. Girls in the treatment group were required to attend an after-school program, while girls in the control group went home on time. Math exam scores were then compared between the two groups of girls. This type of program design is associated with:
A) Needs assessment
B) Evaluability assessment
C) Process evaluation
D) Impact analysis
E) Efficiency analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The program design is comparing the impact of the after-school program on math scores between the treatment and control groups, indicating an impact analysis. Needs assessment would involve identifying the specific needs of the girls before designing the program, evaluability assessment would involve assessing the feasibility of evaluating the program, process evaluation would involve evaluating the implementation of the program, and efficiency analysis would involve assessing the cost efficiency of the program. None of these accurately describe the program design described in the scenario.
