Evaluation Method
An Evaluation Method is a method that specifies evaluation processes to perform evaluation tasks.
- AKA: Assessment Method, Evaluation Approach, Evaluation Technique.
- Context:
- Input: Evaluation Criteria
- Output: Evaluation Result
- ...
- It can (typically) follow Evaluation Protocols
- It can (typically) use Evaluation Metrics
- It can (typically) generate Evaluation Scores
- It can (often) require Evaluation Tools
- It can (often) include Evaluation Guidelines
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Evaluation Method to being a Complex Evaluation Method, depending on its evaluation complexity level
- It can range from being a Quantitative Evaluation Method to being a Qualitative Evaluation Method, depending on its evaluation approach type
- It can range from being a Manual Evaluation Method to being an Automated Evaluation Method, depending on its evaluation automation level
- It can range from being a Domain-Specific Evaluation Method to being a General-Purpose Evaluation Method, depending on its evaluation domain scope
- It can range from being a Single-Metric Method to being a Multi-Metric Method, depending on its evaluation metric scope
- ...
- It can be implemented by an Evaluation System.
- It can have Evaluation Steps (for process control)
- It can be used by an Evaluator (for assessment)
- It can follow Evaluation Standards (for consistency)
- It can produce Evaluation Documentation (for reference)
- It can support Quality Control (through systematic assessment)
- ...
- Example(s):
- Research Evaluation Methods, such as:
- Educational Evaluation Methods, such as:
- Quality Management Methods, such as:
- Economic Evaluation Methods, such as:
- Medical Evaluation Methods, such as:
- Research Methods, such as:
- Technical Evaluation Methods, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- Data Collection Methods, which gather but don't evaluate data
- Analysis Methods, which examine but don't assess results
- Implementation Methods, which execute but don't evaluate processes
