Program evaluation is an important part of any extension program and is often a required component by funding agencies. Given declining resources in land-grant universities, we must be creative in evaluating the learning and adoption of our research-based recommendations. I used a survey tool to give immediate feedback to participants in a wide variety of situations. Results indicate adults were receptive to this evaluation method, and close-ended questions can provide reliable evaluation data in an extension program. People showed improved significant learning with this technique and it is a model for other extension personnel.

使用即时反馈改进扩展中的短期学习

计划评估是任何推广计划的重要组成部分，通常是资助机构的必要组成部分。鉴于赠地大学的资源不断减少，我们必须创造性地评估我们基于研究的建议的学习和采用情况。我使用调查工具在各种情况下向参与者提供即时反馈。结果表明成年人接受这种评估方法，封闭式问题可以在扩展程序中提供可靠的评估数据。人们通过这种技术表现出显着的学习效果，它是其他推广人员的典范。
