The next step is to evaluate if the program/class was successful. Prior to evaluation,

evaluators must know what they will be looking for as well as clarify standards and indicators
that will help them measure how well student’s learning meets those standards. However, it is

important to note that it is impossible to observe and measure every aspect of intelligence.
Therefore, evaluators have to choose what is a widely acceptable and suitable representation

of knowledge. Generally, performance on an exam is used, as a Key Performance Indicators

(KPI) to evaluate mastery of a course subject. Nonetheless, selection of methods should also
align with purpose of evaluation. For example, if an evaluator would like to evaluate ability

of students’ collaboration, he/she might not be assigned more or less value to examination as
an indicator and observation of collaborative practices might be a better measure for this

case.

Main questions evaluators should ask themselves when doing a logic model
 Are there any logical connections between different program aspects?
 Does ‘A’ lead to ‘B’?

 If it does, does ‘B’ lead to ‘C’?

Hints: Standards and Indicators
Standards or expectations represent how evaluators identify success or inform them
what to look for. The standards include broad categories of desired knowledge, skills, and
performance.

Indicators or KPI are factors or variables that help to define and measure success.
The indicators describe specific knowledge, skills, and performance that correspond to each
standard.
