A simple tool to increase confjdence in results

SALLY DUCKWORTH

Research Evaluation & Design Specialist

slide-2
SLIDE 2

Data quality is a concept that academics, scientists and IT specialists have been taking seriously for years.

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Data quality is the fjtness of data for an intended purpose.

Accurate Coherent Precise Complete Culturally responsive Ethical Valid Reliable Intuitive Depth

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Having quality data leads to confjdence in results.

slide-5
SLIDE 5

DATA

FINDINGS

CONCLUSION

RECOMMENDATIONS

And poor quality data is a house of cards

An expression dating back to 1645 meaning a structure or argument built on a shaky foundation that would collapse if a necessary but overlooked element is removed.

slide-6
SLIDE 6

The main way

  • f making data

quality explicit in formal evaluation products is by stating limitations.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Limitations are

  • ccurrences that

the evaluator did not or could not control.

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Acknowledging limitations should not be seen as a weakness of the evaluator, but rather a signifjer of credibility. They are also an opportunity for refmective learning.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Best practice for acknowledging limitations points to 3 things:

  • 1. Identifying limitations and their importance
  • 2. Discussing constraints
  • 3. Recommending further research and data collection
slide-10
SLIDE 10

We did a stocktake of evaluation reports and found that 28% did not refer to limitations

25

18 17 7 7

Evaluation reports published by 6 state service organisations in 2015 72% discussed data limitations 68% talked about how limitations constrain fjndings 28% recommended further research 28% did not make comments

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Then we asked senior evaluators* 3 questions:

  • 1. How important is the quality of data used in

evaluations?

  • 2. How does your organisation determine the quality
  • f data used in evaluations?
  • 3. Does your organisation have standards for

reporting the quality of data in evaluation products?

*6 in 4 state sector organisations

slide-12
SLIDE 12

We heard that data quality is important when conducting evaluation. And people have different expectations

  • f data quality

depending on the scope, size, duration and location of an evaluation.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

We also heard that data quality is determined by having trust and confjdence that evaluators are following ‘good professional practice.’

Sense checking Peer review Triangulation Response rates Co-interviewing Co-coding Highly qualifjed people Teamwork Completeness

slide-14
SLIDE 14

We learnt that organisations do not have standards for stating data quality but are more explicit (risk averse) when publishing externally.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

We found that limitations slide off accessible and real time products such as A3’s, correspondence and progress reports.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Decision makers and other stakeholders are wanting things instantly and digestible. We can provide a one or two page thing, but you lose the nuances and limitations.

‘ ’

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Finally we learnt that limitations are seen as weakness of the evaluator or evaluation, rather than enhancing credibility or confjdence. We need to fmip this around and start talking about and celebrating good data quality to enhance the confjdence
