This volume -- the revised edition of How to Measure Program Implementation -- covers the assessment of how a program design works in practice. It reflects the recent emphasis on qualitative methods, and discusses when qualitative or quantitative methods are more appropriate. The book illustrates that the evaluator's task is not to judge the adequacy of program implementation, but rather to document, describe, observe, or assess by some other means how a program is implemented. The text has been organized to reflect a natural and logical ordering of the steps of planning, data collection, and analysis. References have been updated and examples included from education, business, social services, and other non-profit settings.

This edition of How to Measure Attitudes draws on examples from a broader range of disciplines and professions than the first edition. It helps novice evaluators with the difficult task of assessing whether the affective and attitude objectives of a programme have been met. The most commonly used attitude measures are described and sources of existing measurement instruments are listed. If no existing instrument is appropriate, step-by-step instructions are given enabling readers to construct their own. Methods for analysing and reporting attitude data are also included.
