Choosing Evaluation Models and Approaches in Specific Evaluation Situations
This 6-page postgraduate essay provides an assessment of differing evaluation approaches and models. This essay deliberates these various approaches and models and offer opinions regarding their benefits and drawbacks in relation toa study regarding the benefits of implementing online meeting application into the WebCT environment, ostensibly with the goal of benefiting students. In this context, this essay evaluates approaches as diverse as objectives-oriented approaches, management-oriented approaches, consumer-oriented approaches, expertise-oriented approaches, adversary-oriented approaches, and naturalistic and participant-oriented approaches, briefly outlining the benefits and drawbacks of each in relation to the case study proposed. This essay concludes by finding that a modified judgement model seems most fitting for the study of online meeting applications. The altered judgement model allows evaluators to implement a study which focuses on goals and what is actually done. If the model is modified to include students in the definition of “decision-makers”, and if the approach is modified to assess the goals for the application against what the application actually accomplishes, this approach may allow evaluators to determine whether the implementation of online meeting applications benefits students in any way.
