Evaluation
Evaluation methodologies are tailored to each project but will usually include a range of quantitative and qualitative data - known as ‘mixed method’ ethnographic methodology.
Quantitative Data
Quantitative data includes measures from online questionnaires completed after each session. These questions are responses to the sessions held and include observations such as “Today’s session improved my confidence” and “I learned new skills”.
Qualitative Data
Qualitative data is gathered through weekly check-ins and 1:1 interviews with participants at the end of the project. Feedback, comments and views expressed at the performance / showcase events by friends, family, professionals or members of the public are also captured.
All data is analysed to explore specific themes and report on the overall effectiveness and impact of the project.
