Room for Rigor
The authors examine methodological characteristics of summative evaluations in informal science education (ISE), asking: What are the major types of designs used in summative evaluations, and what kinds of questions can they answer? What are the types of data collection methods and measures used, and how many are self-reports or direct measures? They reviewed all summative reports from the year 2012 on informalscience.org, the online resources po…
A Framework for Summative Evaluation in Informal Science Education
Summative evaluation plays a critical role in documenting the impacts of informal science education (ISE), potentially contributing to the ISE knowledge base and informing ongoing improvements in practice and decision-making. In response to the growing demand for capacity-building in ISE evaluation, this article presents a framework for summative evaluation based on an extensive review of literature and research-based refinements. The framework s…
