External evaluation
An external evaluation is a particular form of evaluation . It represents a counterpoint to self-evaluation . The term "foreign" of external evaluation refers to the control of the evaluation process. If, for example , a school undergoes an external evaluation as part of school development , this could be an evaluation initiated and controlled by the responsible school supervisory authority . The process of the external evaluation can be specified in more detail by the characteristics
- Implementation of the evaluation
- Use of the evaluation and
- Goal of the evaluation
Examples
- An example of an externally controlled, formative, external evaluation with the aim of controlling an evaluation object would be: A school supplies data sets for an external evaluation . With this raw data, the school supervisory authority - together with data packages from other schools - carries out a meta-evaluation of school programs (here: PQS model).
- An example of an externally controlled, formative, internal evaluation with the aim of accountability would be: Regular schools are legally obliged to carry out internal evaluation measures and school programs such as the Hamburg model.
- An example of an externally controlled, summative, external evaluation with the aim of checking an evaluation object would be various school rankings as the results of national test procedures (English model).
- An example of an externally controlled, summative, internal evaluation with the aim of accountability would be: a state school supervisory authority conducts school inspections and gives suggestions for development measures at the school concerned (e.g. the Dutch model of regular school inspection).
