Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis involves assessing the effectiveness of educational programs and policies. This process includes collecting data, analyzing outcomes, and determining how well educational initiatives meet their goals. It helps educators and policymakers understand what works and what doesn’t in the education system. The findings from these evaluations inform decisions about resource allocation, curriculum development, and teaching strategies. By examining factors such as student performance and engagement, stakeholders can make evidence-based improvements. This field often intersects with areas like educational psychology, sociology of education, and public policy.
