Evaluation Review, 1980, vol. 4, issue 4, 419-450

Abstract: Evaluators often utilize ANCOVA-type techniques to assess the effects of innovative programs implemented in naturalistic settings. In this paper, design, analysis, and reporting considerations for the application of ANCOVA-type techniques in educational settings are described. Numerous examples are drawnfrom the national Follow Through evaluation, and suggestions for improving reports using ANCOVA-type techniques are presented. The overall perspective is that evaluation reports must be more precise and must indicate the limitations of the methodology used. In doing so, a more balanced description of a program and its effects is presented to the decision maker and to other stakeholders.
