Match List I with List II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:LIST I (Type of Evaluation) LIST II (Main Issue for Evaluation) A. Program/Intervention planning Evaluation I. Effectiveness of a program / Intervention B. Process/ monitoring Evaluation II. Need for a program/ Intervention C. Impact/Outcome Evaluation III. Efficiency of the service delivery D. Cost-effective Evaluation IV. Cost of delivering the service
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
This question requires matching four types of evaluation with the main issue each one addresses:
| Type of evaluation | Main issue addressed |
|---|---|
| Program/Intervention planning evaluation | Need for a program/intervention |
| Process/monitoring evaluation | Efficiency of the service delivery |
| Impact/Outcome evaluation | Effectiveness of a program/intervention |
| Cost-effectiveness evaluation | Cost of delivering the service |
Program/Intervention planning evaluation is carried out before a program is designed, to assess whether there is genuine need for the intervention.
Process/monitoring evaluation examines how a program is being implemented while it is running, focusing on the efficiency of service delivery.
Impact/Outcome evaluation assesses whether the program actually achieves its intended results, that is, its effectiveness.
Cost-effectiveness evaluation examines the cost involved in delivering the service relative to the benefits gained.
This gives the pairing: planning evaluation with need for the program, process evaluation with efficiency of delivery, impact evaluation with effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness evaluation with cost of delivery.
Quasi-experiments are usually conducted in
When results obtained in a research study can be extended to a group larger than the sample (outside the context of the study) it is called

Match the type of validity with its major source of problem:
| LIST 1 (Validity Type) | LIST 2 (Description/Threat) |
| (a) Construct validity | (i) Faulty or poor measure, resulting in mislabeling/ misinterpreting behaviour |
| (b) External Validity | (iii) Sample of participants was not representative |
| (c) Internal Validity | (ii) Treatment and no-treatment groups were unequal before the study began |
One way to measure the extent to which a measure is free of random error is to compute its:
