==What is an evaluability assessment (EA)?== An EA is a qualitative investigation employed before a programme is evaluated. Evaluability assessments (EAs) go further than merely providing information of whether a programme can be evaluated or not.〔Rossi, P., Lipsey, M. W., & Freeman, H. E. (2004). Expressing and assessing program theory. In P. Rossi, M. W. Lipsey, & H. E. Freeman, ''Evaluation. A systematic approach'' (pp. 133-168). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.〕 They are used to describe the objectives, logic and activities of the programme with an aim to investigate its credibility, feasibility, sustainability and acceptability.〔Jung, S. M., & Schubert, J. G. (1983). Evaluability assessment: a two-year retrospective. ''Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis'', ''5''(4), 435-444.〕 EAs address the likelihood of the programme achieving its anticipated outcomes, the required changes needed for optimum management, whether an evaluation can improve the programme’s performance and to identify stakeholder interests in the evaluation and how the findings will be used.〔Strosberg, M. A., & Wholey, J. S. (1983). Evaluability assessment: from theory to practice in the department of health and human services. ''Public Administration Review'', ''43''(1), 66-71.〕 According to Jung and Schubert (1983) these specific aspects〔 of a programme need to be address by an EA: *Obtaining perspectives of all involved in the programme e.g. programme staff and stakeholders *Investigating the programmes objectives the methods to measure whether they were achieved *Providing information of the how the programme is actually functioning *Identifying ways to improve the programme *Relaying important information about the programme 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evaluability assessment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
