1198 Words5 Pages

Felipe (2012) sought to emphasize the roles played by the stakeholders in the government’s counterinsurgency effort in relation to IPSP. Accordingly, common to different government agencies is the task of, ‘to lead’ or ‘to take the lead role’; while, the NGOs/CSOs/POs serve as ‘fillers’ to the gaps in the dispensation of tasks and functions of government agencies. (Felipe:2012) One of the main gaps that the study revealed was the absence of a clear mandate or policy that would inform the concerned government agencies to take the lead and collaborate with the AFP on matters of internal peace and security. (Felipe:2012) On the other hand, while there are many agencies and stakeholders receptive to the AFP’s objective of winning the peace, the …show more content…

The second characteristic of program evaluation according to authors is its orientation towards measuring program effectiveness. As social programs are meant to benefit a population, evaluations must be able to focus on the appropriate aspects. Rossi et al. (2004) enumerated such aspects as the following: (1) the need for the program, (2) the program's design, (3) its implementation and service delivery, (4) its impacts, or outcome, and (5) its efficiency. Third, program evaluation must be able to consider political and environmental context. It is in this particular characteristic that the authors aver the importance of stakeholders: the evaluator, the one to commission the evaluation; and other organizations or individuals that have significant stakes in the program. On the other hand, the results that evaluations aim for should be timely and meaningful especially to decision makers as this will determine the fate of the program. (Rossi et al.,:2004) Finally, program evaluation seeks to improve social conditions by informing social action. Findings from assessments should always serve as a basis for decisions for actions or non-actions towards the program. This may cause program maintenance, improvement, alteration, or termination – either of this should ultimately render some positive benefits such as improve social conditions. (Rossi et al.,

External evaluators are hired from an organization that is separate from the evaluated organization. While external evaluators can be seen as detached, I believe an external evaluator can provide an objective view of the program that otherwise would not be possible. The evaluator can find issues in the program that those internally may not be able to see or even refuse to acknowledge a problem.

  • Standardized Testing Dbq

    There are also much better ways to test a student’s capability to learn; a 2006 Center on Education Policy conducted a study and found that a curriculum that follows state standards and uses the test data as feedback led to higher scores than those that prioritized test-taking skills. When teachers are more focused on teaching material rather than test strategies, their students benefit from it (“Do Standardized Tests Show an Accurate View of Students’ Abilities?”). Several alternative methods to state assessments for measuring a student’s academic success include comparing high school graduation rates and the number of dropouts, offering advanced placement courses, and looking at the percentage of the former students that are admitted to colleges. State assessments are more harmful than helpful to students; they are a large cause of test anxiety and a majority of teachers can never fully prepare their students. Although state assessments are an easy way to be able to see the growth of students, that does not mean that they are the best

    He contends that when an individual or group is denied its major requirement for identity, security, acknowledgment or equivalent investment inside of the general public, extended conflict is inescapable. To determine such conflict, it is essential that needs that are debilitated be distinguished and along these lines rebuilding of connections or the social framework happen in a way that needs of all people and groups are suited (Burton John, 1991,p82). For instance, this model can be helpful in the cases of African conflicts, for example, that of Darfur, Burundi, Dr Congo and Rwanda conflicts, where there are limitations on opportunity and support of its nationals in political and monetary
