quantitative evaluation

an evaluation method that yields numerical indices gathered primarily from formal (objective) methods of data collection, systematic and controlled observation, and a prescribed research design. As a final or convergent phase of program evaluation, it seeks to provide precise answers to already defined evaluation objectives. This approach is usually associated with a goal-based evaluation rather than a goal-free evaluation. Compare qualitative evaluation.
