(B) Guiding Questions for Evaluation
5
1) Who values the evaluation of this KT plan?
What are they saying they need from this
evaluation? (link this to partners, KUs)
2) How have similar KT activities been
evaluated in the past? (link this to partners,
KUs)
3) Why are you evaluating? e.g., for program
growth or improvement; accountability;
sustainability; knowledge generation; research
scholarship/publication, and/or to know if the
KT strategy(ies) met the objectives
4) How does the KT and evaluation literature
inform how you will evaluate your plan?
5) Will you focus on process or outcome
information?
6) Will methods be quantitative, qualitative or
mixed? Do tools exist or will you need to create
your own? (link to KT methods)
7) What perspective or skill set do you need to
help you reach your evaluation objectives? (link
to partners, KUs)
8) How will you share evaluation findings with
your stakeholders and knowledge users?
