Measuring the Impact of Educational Interventions: A Quantitative Approach Jenepher Martin (13075575) Health sciences Health services and systems Social Sciences Science & Technology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Education, Scientific Disciplines Surgery Education & Educational Research QUALITATIVE METHODS TECHNICAL SKILL OPERATING-ROOM SURGEONS 4 Quality Education OverviewThis chapter will discuss impact evaluation, an important method of measuring the effectiveness of an educational intervention. This form of evaluation represents a subset of program evaluation and focuses on outcomes and consequential events related to an educational intervention. In doing so, it incorporates several different quantitative methods and is typically reserved for stable, long-standing educational programs/curricula. Many of these methods are also used as part of program evaluation as a whole and in surgical research. Readers are directed to Chaps. 23 (“Demystifying Program Evaluation for Surgical Education”, Battista et al.) and 30 (“Researching in Surgical Education: An Orientation”, Ajjawi and McIllhenny) for more information on these subjects. In addition to providing a working definition of impact evaluation, this chapter will help define key concepts related to its successful use as well as aid in delineating the most useful quantitative methods to employ.<p></p> 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Text Chapter 10.26187/deakin.34029201 https://figshare.com/articles/chapter/Measuring_the_Impact_of_Educational_Interventions_A_Quantitative_Approach/34029201 All Rights Reserved Restricted Access
