Evaluation
136
Group work on factors
An in-depth evaluation can also be done for long training sessions if
time will allow. Participants prepare, in visualized charts, each heading
to be judged. During the plenary, tasks are carefully explained according
to the main elements of the event identified by the participants:
objectives, methods, contents, programme, accommodation, etc. Each
person is assigned to a small group which works separately for at least
one hour and then comes together to finalize the evaluation. It takes
about half a day to go through this type of evaluation but it has the
advantage that it is fully participatory and accomplishes the objective
of learning to facilitate participatory evaluation processes.
Remarks: No matter what comes up in the evaluation, the facilitator should
never react as if the critique is directed to her personally. Her role is always to
ask the opinion of the participants and permit a variety of ideas to be stated.
However, participants should also be reminded to be constructive in their criticism.
If the process is to be empowering, feedback should contribute to this.
