Outcome-Based
Evaluation
A Working Model for
Arts Projects
Section 3: Evaluating the Project (cont): Elements Six-Nine
Using an Example |
| |
| The following
illustrates logic model elements six through nine for the "Theaters
in
Schools" example: |
 |
|
 |
Outcome #1: Students demonstrate
knowledge of acting
Indicator a): The number
and percent of students who perform at least two acts of a play, and
Data Source: Teacher reports
Applied to: All students completing the
acting class
Data Interval: At the end of each school
term
Target: 90%
Indicator b): The number
and percent of students who can identify four dramatic elements of a play
Data Source: "Structures of a Play" quiz
Applied to: All students enrolled in
the acting class
Data Interval: Following "Structures
of a Play" quiz
Target: 80% |
| |
|
 |
Outcome #2: Students demonstrate
knowledge of theater direction
Indicator a): The number
and percent of students who can direct two scenes of a play
Data Source: Teacher reports
Applied to: All students completing the
directing class
Data Interval: At the end of each school
term
Target: 90%
Indicator b): The number
and percent of students who can identify four dramatic elements of a play
Data Source: "Structures of a Play" quiz
Applied to: All students enrolled in
the directing class
Data Interval: Following "Structures
of a Play" quiz
Target: 80% |
| |
|

Outcome #3: Students demonstrate
knowledge of theater production
Indicator a): The number
and percent of students who can demonstrate specified technical aspects
of one theater production
Data Source: Teacher reports
Applied to: All students completing the
production class
Data Interval: At the end of each school
term
Target: 70%
Indicator b): The
number and percent of students who can identify four relationships among
the dramatic and technical elements of a play
Data Source: "Structures of a Play" quiz
Applied to: All students enrolled in
the production class
Data Interval: Following "Structures
of a Play" quiz
Target: 80% |
| |

Outcome #4: Students demonstrate
interest in theater
Indicator a): The number
and percent of students who complete 80% of theater class assignments
Data Source: Teacher reports
Applied to: All students
Data Interval: At the end of each school
term
Target: 50%
Indicator b): The number
and percent of students who attend at least two live theater performances
in twelve months

Applied to: All students
Data Interval: Twelve months following
end of school year
Target: 50% |

| PUTTING
IT ALL TOGETHER
Once the logic model for the project has been constructed and all decisions
have been made about the feasibility and practicality of each outcome,
their indicators and the data collection process, it is suggested that
you review the evaluation logic model with project partners and staff.
This review will provide an opportunity to identify overlooked or inappropriate
outcomes, inadequately defined indicators, cumbersome procedures, or burdensome
data collection methods. It is also very important before implementing
the process to ensure that the organization is ready to undertake the
approach. |
