CLD4-5: Developing Effective Program Evaluation Surveys
Omolola Adedokun, Jacqueline Corum | September 26, 2025 (New)
A program evaluation survey is a set of questions for gathering data to help determine if (or the extent to which) a program achieved its outcomes. Surveys are inexpensive and offer program evaluators the opportunity to gather anonymized data from program participants, thereby promoting honesty in responses. However, surveys are not without limitations. They are subject to recall bias and limited by self-reporting and potential misunderstanding or misinterpretation of questions or response options.1 Despite these drawbacks, surveys are the most common tool for collecting data about the outcomes and impact of Extension programs.
