Goals of Evaluation
To determine the worth of its materials, programs and
activities.
Education and/or guidance program evaluation is concerned
with a phenomenon which has limited generalizability
across time and place

particular type of practical problem.

Programme Evaluation
• According to Siddiqui (2009) when we conduct
evaluation of the program two questions arise:
1. Is there a written guidance program in the
school?
2. Is the written guidance program the actual
implemented program in the school?
❑ If there is any discrepancy between the written
program and the implemented program, it will be
known while program evaluation is being done.
