CHECKLIST FOR EVALUATING A DEMONSTRATION 3 2 1 Good Fair Poor PARTICIPATION 1. Did I successfully encourage group participation? 2. Did the farmers feel free to ask questions and enter into discussions? 3. Were the farmers given enough opportunity to practise the skills that were being demonstrated? 4. Did I effectively supervise the practice sessions? 5. What evidence was there to indicate that the farmers would apply the knowledge or the skills they had gained-on their own farms? SCORING For each question indicate your rating. If you think your perform- ance was "Good", enter 3; if "Fair", 2; and if "Poor", enter 1. When you have finished this self-evaluation, add up your scores. Your overall rating will be as follows: 80 or above is a very good score 50-80 is fair Below 50 is poor-a strong case for further training! NB. As for other "evaluation checklists" in this manual, it can be used in two ways: for self-evaluation, when preparing for a demonstration or reflecting on one you have just completed; for observing the approach of a colleague: a good deal can be learnt from "peer-group" evaluation of this kind. Again, you might find it extremely helpful to ask a colleague to use the checklist in observing your own performance and then feeding back his comments to you.
