IntroductionIn the era of educational accountability, evaluation reporting has become an absolute necessity. The phenomenon of weak program follow-up often stems from unsystematic reports. The assumption is that a logical and complete report will support the right decision. The problem is that there are still many evaluation reports that are not in accordance with scientific principles and formats. This paper aims to outline the basic concept, content of the report, format, and structure of the preparation of an evaluation report as an effective and accountable reporting guideline.
First: Basic Concept of Report Writing
Evaluation reports are a form of formal communication of activity results, arranged logically and chronologically. The purpose is to present information for improvement or assessment of the program. Effective reports must be accurate, objective, and timely. Principles such as systematic, complete, and concise guarantee that reports become valid communication tools. By understanding these basic concepts, report compilers can produce evaluative documents that are not only informative, but also useful in educational decision-making.
Second: Principles of Report Writing
The writing of the evaluation report consists of four main parts: problems, methodology, results, and conclusions. The problem describes the reason, purpose, and background of the evaluation. The methodology describes the approach and techniques of data collection. Meanwhile, the results and conclusions provide an overview of conditions and recommendations based on validated data. The complete report component ensures that the evaluation is not opinion-based, but based on scientifically accountable evidence.
