formative evaluation

Formative evaluation is applied in the implementation phase of a program or project and is especially or project and is especially advisable when it has clearly defined stages, with intermediate and long term goals, or in projects that clearly defined stages, with intermediate and long-term goals, or in projects that admit, by way of feedback, a feedback, a modification along the way (continuous improvement).continuous improvement).

Summative evaluation

Called cumulative, terminal, terminal, point, result, final product or ex-post, is characterized because it is carried out at the end of the program and, therefore, only reports on the final results. It is probably the type of evaluation most commonly applied by institutions in charge of providing social services, "it is even assimilated to what in modern administration is called social report or balance sheet" (Puerta, 1996:57).

Summative evaluation should assess:

• The outputs, that is, the goods and services produced and delivered by the program or project.
• The outcomes, i.e., the results of the use of the outputs. -
• The impact, i.e., the changes that remain after the program or project has ended. or project.

External evaluation

It is the evaluation carried out by agents external to the institution or program. Generally, they are professionals with recognized prestige in the field of evaluation, or officials of specialized entities such as universities, consulting centers and special audits.

internal evaluation

Is the evaluation conducted by the institution's or program's staff, usually interdisciplinary groups in which all program constituencies and audiences are represented. Those in charge of internal evaluation are responsible for analyzing problems and offering recommendations, but also for correcting It is also a way to correct problems and offer recommendations, but also to correct difficulties and implement solutions. and implementing solutions; thus, internal evaluation is, first and foremost, an administrative activity (Love, 1991:24).

Mixed evaluation

Is the evaluation conducted by a group made up of external evaluators and program staff (internal evaluators). external evaluators and program staff (internal evaluators). It is an alternative This is an alternative that minimizes the disadvantages or exclusionary factors of internal and external and external evaluations, in order to, instead, enhance the advantages of both.

Intermediate evaluation-terminal evaluation

The terminal evaluation terminal evaluation, also called ex-post evaluation, is the study that is carried out after the program has been after the program has ended, in order to establish whether the expected results were obtained and the factors that expected results were obtained and the factors that acted in one direction or the other. direction.

Process evaluation-impact evaluation

The same author defines process evaluation as that which focuses on the functioning and other dynamic aspects of the and other dynamic aspects of the program, while impact evaluation refers to the evaluation refers to the determination of the achievement of a program's objectives or the evaluation of external effects.

Institutional evaluation-program evaluation

Institutional evaluation refers to the evaluation of an institution at its organizational level, so that one of its main focuses is the functions it must fulfill. Such functions may include defining objectives or goals.

Program evaluation refers to the evaluation of more or less coordinated activities around objectives of varying duration. coordinated around objectives of varying duration. The latter are desirable states or situations that are desirable and can be achieved through the strategy used by the and in relation to which the results achieved or not are evaluated (Briones, 1991)

Evaluation of internal objectives-evaluation of external objectives

The evaluation of internal objectives refers to the process aimed at verifying the achievement of the objectives to be reached in the population in which the program acts directly (internal objectives).

The evaluation of external objectives refers to the evaluation of situations or desirable states to be achieved outside the scope of the program after it is completed.

Descriptive evaluation

This evaluation describes different situations of the program (characteristics, intervening factors and relationships of association between them). It relies on both quantitative and qualitative descriptive information analysis techniques.

Explanatory evaluation

Suchman (1967:84) points out that in this second type it is necessary to examine its rational foundation, which essentially consists in conceiving a causal sequence in which "our program becomes only one of many possible actions or events that can produce the desired effect. Moreover, our program will not only influence the desired effect to occur, but will also have other effects. have other effects".

Cost-benefit evaluation

This type of evaluation can be applied before the program is initiated or after its completion. In social projects, benefit measurement is expressed through the use of one or more impact indicators on the target population. In contrast, in financial evaluation and economic evaluation, benefits are expressed in economic units.

Cost-effectiveness evaluation

This evaluation contrasts the results or non-monetary benefits with the monetary costs (Abello, 1987). It determines the economic efficiency of a project by relating its costs and outputs to the effects achieved.

Cost-performance evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to find and determine the difference between the present value of the public costs and the present value of the yields or profits of a project, taking into consideration also those costs and yields that affect parties other than those directly affected by the project.

The calculation of the yields of what is considered the impact of the program; which are not the results of the program, but the indirect effects in terms of the beneficiary population.

Social cost-utility evaluation

Social costs are made up of the opportunity costs of the resources used in the activity, together with the value of any welfare losses or increased costs that the activity causes for any individual or social group.

EX-ANTE EVALUATION

It is the evaluation applied to project formulation (social and economic evaluation of the project). It is oriented to the analysis of project feasibility, internal coherence and project engineering and project efficiency.

IMPACT evaluation

This evaluation refers to the "aggregate effect of the program on the community as a whole" (Quintero, 1995:6). In other words, it is that evaluation carried out to determine either the residual effects of the project as a whole or the effects of only one of the activities associated with the project.

META-EVALUATION

This evaluation refers to the evaluation of evaluation. The term is introduced by Scriven in 1968 when he writes an article on the evaluation of evaluation instruments. He posits that evaluators have a professional obligation to ensure that proposed or completed evaluations are subject to competent evaluation.

The results of the meta-evaluation should be used formatively, but can also be incorporated into the report or conveyed to the client and other appropriate audiences.

Conclusion

• It is clear that evaluation is very important because it helps to continuously improve programs and projects, measure how well they are working and make data-based decisions. It provides accountability to funders and supporters, justifies the money invested, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the organization. In addition, impact evaluation shows the lasting effects of the program, ensuring that benefits are sustained and resources are used effectively.
• The text used as the basis of the presentation presents a detailed classification of the types of evaluation used in different contexts, highlighting the characteristics and purposes of each, and showing the use and benefits of each under a specific context.
