“…The Kids Together logic model delivered a visual representation of the underlying rationale or logic of the program. It provided the basis for a shared understanding about how Kids Together worked, and informed the design of an evaluation framework, systematic data collection, data analysis and reporting (Helitzer, Hollis et al 2010, Newton, Poon et al 2013). The process of developing the logic model provided a structured way to explore the complexity of what the Kids Together program offered with those involved and enabled the research team to work collaboratively with key stakeholders to document a growing understanding of how the model was being implemented (Baxter, Killoran et al 2010, Yeatman, Quinsey et al 2013.…”

“…The logic model offered the program developers the opportunity to reflect deeply on the Kids Together approach and discuss why implementation of the planned activities would lead to the stated outcomes (Helitzer, Hollis et al 2010, Ziviani, Darlington et al 2011, Newton, Poon et al 2013. Once finalised the logic model was used to frame the analysis of data and determine which outcomes were achieved during the first year of implementation.…”

Kids Together was shown to be a highly effective and innovative model for supporting the inclusion of children with disabilities/additional needs in a range of environments central for early childhood learning and development. The use of a logic model provided a visual representation of the Kids Together model and its component parts and enabled a theory of change to be inferred, showing how a coordinated and collaborative approached can work across multiple environments.

“…Desde la perspectiva de la evaluación, un modelo lógico a ende al desarrollo de los componentes de la evaluación y a la forma en que se armonizan con los obje vos generales del programa y sus teorías subyacentes, ayudando a priorizar y enfocar las cuestiones de interés, asegurando la recogida adecuada de los datos de la evaluación, para, tras su análisis, hacer recomendaciones informadas sobre las mejoras que necesita incorporar el programa (NEWTON et al, 2013;FREEDMAN et al, 2014, p. 81). El modelo lógico es la base para elaborar una secuencia convincente del rendimiento esperado de un programa, diseñado para atender unas necesidades, siendo sus elementos los recursos, las ac vidades, los resultados inmediatos en los benefi ciarios a los que a ende, junto con los resultados en el corto plazo y su impacto, considerando las infl uencias externas relevantes (MCLAUGHLIN;JORDAN, 1999;KAPLAN;GARRET, 2005;FIELDEN et al, 2007).…”

ResumenEl propósito de este ar culo es mostrar el proceso del modelo lógico para guiar el diseño y la evaluación de programas, ayudando a los gestores, diseñadores y evaluadores de programas a diseñar los programas y sus metas, planifi car sus procesos, concretar las estrategias para la realización de las ac vidades dirigidas al logro de los resultados pretendidos y a evaluar, de un modo comprensivo, el programa, sus procesos y sus resultados y a par r de su comprensión, realizar propuestas de mejora. Se analizan las caracterís cas de los modelos lógicos, los elementos que subyacen a la evaluación de programas, el concepto de programa y los criterios de su calidad. Asimismo se analizan las metodologías de inves gación a u lizar en la evaluación, las caracterís cas de los informes y su orientación para favorecer el uso de los resultados de la evaluación, junto con los estándares que deben guiar la evaluación y la meta-evaluación. Palabras clave Evaluación; modelos lógicos; inves gación evalua va. AbstractThe purpose of this ar cle is to show the logic models' process to guide the design and evalua on of programs, helping managers, designers and program evaluators to design programs and their goals, planning processes, iden fying the strategies for the ac vi es aimed at achieving the intended results and assess, in a comprehensive way, the program, processes and results, and from a comprehensive point of view, make sugges ons for improvement. The characteris cs of logic models are analyzed, joined to the elements underlying the program evalua on, the program concept and the quality criteria. Research methodologies used in evalua on, the characteris cs of the reports and their orienta on to promote the use of evalua on results, also are analyzed, together the standards that should guide the evalua on and meta-evalua on.

“…RUFDATA originated from research on developing an approach for initiating novice evaluators into the evaluation planning process (Saunders, 2000). The logic model concept is derived from evaluation practices that seek to identify the interactions of multiple variables among program activities and outcomes (Newton, Poon, Nunes, & Stone, 2013).…”

Using RUFDATA to guide a logic model for a quality assurance process in an undergraduate university program

This article presents a framework to identify key mechanisms for developing a logic model blueprint that can be used for an impending comprehensive evaluation of an undergraduate degree program in a Canadian university. The evaluation is a requirement of a comprehensive quality assurance process mandated by the university. A modified RUFDATA (Saunders, 2000) evaluation model is applied as an initiating framework to assist in decision making to provide a guide for conceptualizing a logic model for the quality assurance process. This article will show how an educational evaluation is strengthened by employing a RUFDATA reflective process in exploring key elements of the evaluation process, and then translating this information into a logic model format that could serve to offer a more focussed pathway for the quality assurance activities. Using preliminary program evaluation data from two key stakeholders of the undergraduate program as well as an audit of the curriculum's course syllabi, a case is made for, (1) the importance of inclusivity of key stakeholders participation in the design of the evaluation process to enrich the authenticity and accuracy of program participants' feedback, and (2) the diversification of data collection methods to ensure that stakeholders' narrative feedback is given ample exposure. It is suggested that the modified RUFDATA/logic model framework be applied to all academic programs at the university undergoing the quality assurance process at the same time so that economies of scale may be realized.
