Educational evaluation is
concerned with the determination of the effectiveness and
the value of a defined product, educational method, or
educational program. OED faculty provide individual
consultation and small group instruction to UAMS faculty
on various methods of educational evaluation. OED faculty
work collaboratively with other UAMS faculty in defining
desired outcomes, critical examination of program goals
and objectives, review of curricular materials, and the
determination of adequate methods for evaluation. In
addition, OED faculty provide technical support with the
preparation of evaluation plans for grant proposals and
the provision of evaluation services for funded grant
programs. Technical support is also provided for the
development of tools for data collection, such as surveys,
questionnaires, interviews, and tests. Both quantitative
