PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PROFILE

Evaluations maybe conducted at any of several phases of program
development and implementation. Process and outcome evaluations relate to the

phase of the program studied. Process evaluations examine what goes on inside the
program while it is in progress, focusing on such things as activities offered, staff
practices, and client actions. Evaluating program processes may be very helpful in

understanding why program objectives are or are not met. Outcome evaluations put
emphasis on the program objectives or outcomes: what happens to clients as a result

of their participation in the program. The processes and outcome evaluations may
either be formative or summative, depending on the intentions of the evaluator (or
those who hire the evaluator).

Program sponsors and taxpayers typically are interested in program
accountability, which calls for summative evaluation. Summative evaluation helps to

answer the question, “Is the program earning its keep?” and provides information which
can be used to help program sponsors make informed decisions about program
funding. In comparison, a person who implement programs are often more interested

in learning how to improve their programs. Program improvement is the purpose of
formative evaluation. When an organization has an evaluator or evaluation team on
staff to evaluate their own programs, this is considered internal evaluation. External

evaluations are conducted by outside by outside evaluation organizations or
independent evaluators (PREL).
With the use of Logical Framework Approach in the In-House Review, CvSU

Extension Services performs process and outcome evaluations, formative and
summative evaluations (ongoing and completed projects) and considered internal and

external evaluator as stated in the approved proposal.
c) Reports and Other Forms
Extension evaluation takes place in all stages: the planning, implementation

and after implementation phase of a program/project.
❖ Interview schedules and questionnaires – are frequently used on these
activities in the conduct of Benchmark Survey and Training Needs

Assessments (TNA) and in the evaluation of ongoing extension activities.
❖ CEAAIREV Format for Writing Extension Report – for on-going and completed
extension activities.

❖ CEAAIREV Abstract (For Paper and Poster Presentation)
❖ CEAIREV Format for PowerPoint Presentation – for reporting extension

activities.
❖ Poster Presentation – for on-going and completed extension activities.
