HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN EVALUATION QUESTIONS
Think about your theory of change and identify key learning objectives/outcomes for your social justice and tech outcomes
1
Create items that attempt to measure each of the objectives/outcomes you identified. BE SPECIFIC (ex. “I am confident in my ability to use tech to solve my problems” vs “I am confident in my ability to use tech”)
2
Think about your items. Are they worded properly for your audience? Are you capturing ALL aspects of what you’re trying to measure?
