Gentle Introduction to Quantitative Evaluation
SocietyM London Bankside, 20 Lavington Street, SE1 0NZ - London UK
THE WORKSHOP
Are you feeling uncertain about how to set up a quantitative evaluation, or looking to explore your options? This workshop presents the state of the art in collecting quantitative evaluation data, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different options. This small-scale event (less than 30 delegates) in central London will include presentations on how to design good questionnaires and observation-based evaluations. We provide practical perspectives from both a practitioner perspective within an informal learning organisation and the perspective of an external evaluator and expert in survey methodology.
This practical workshop offers the following:
1. An introduction to questionnaire design. This includes how to evaluate existing survey questions and develop new ones for quantitative evaluations.
2. An introduction to different question types you can use, along with their strengths and weaknesses.
3. How to collect and quantify open-ended evaluation data such as annotated drawings.
4. An introduction to visitor tracking, timing and other types of observation-based evaluation and how to set up the tracking and timing evaluation that connects with questionnaire feedback.
THE SPEAKERS
World-leading experts in evaluation of informal learning and public engagement experiences will be presenting at and facilitating the event: Andrew Moss (Chester Zoo), Dr Eric Jensen (University of Warwick) and David Francis (British Museum)
