Unit5. Documentation Monitoring Evaluation of NSTP Community Based Projects
Documentation – is a clear-cut proof that projects are conducted with the notes and observations
being recorded as guidelines for future programs like the NSTP. It is a reservoir of information that
can improve the project.
Result Monitoring – is a systematic and continuous procedure in checking programs and projects
done during the NSTP community immersion. Monitoring of projects is done consistently and by
certain measures. It is an observation of several changes that occur over time.
The products of monitoring are summarized progress reports that are capable of triggering
timely management interventions. It serves as a means of keeping track of the status of the
projects.

• Trainees
• Trainors
• Barangay officials concerned
• Partner agencies involved in the projects
• Others who are not involved but are concerned with the project
To ensure success of the NSTP projects, monitoring plan is necessary as a means of getting
data for information and input for decision making:
3. Summary checklist. From the start, the implementors of the project write the indicators that
need to be present to check whether there is progress. Usually, the objectives of the project,
tasks, materials and persons involved are written on a checklist. Across these items are
columns to be checked whether they have been complied or not.
Evaluation – is a systematic assessment of the value or worth of something. This something could
be the NSTP projects or other programs, a technique used in the fieldwork or a situation prevalent in
a particular community.
➢ To NSTP trainees and trainors, evaluation means the value or meat of his teaching-learning
activities.

Importance of Evaluation
1. It provides trainors/trainees and other people an idea of the activities’ progress and
accomplishments and how they fare well in the achievement of goals.
4. It provides opportunity for the trainees to experience and develop skills in conducting
evaluation.
What to Evaluate?
There are five aspects of evaluating the NSTP Project in order to be successful namely:
1. Effort
In measuring the efforts exerted in the project, the trainees use the input evaluation
type which identifies available resources both in human (personal), material
resources such as money, educational tools, method or techniques, and the activities
undertaken.
2. Effect
In assessing effect, trainees and the like measure the outcomes of the efforts made.
3. Adequacy
In measuring adequacy, trainees need to look into the effectiveness of the project in
terms of the number of clients being served.
4. Efficiency
This is done by determining the cost benefit analysis by the trainors of the trainees,
and identifying the benefits derived from the program.
5. Process
In evaluating the NSTP Project, one should answer the questions on how and why
the project worked or did not work. It also responds to the question on how the
different project inputs can be utilized to arrive at good outcomes.
It must be considered that evaluation of the projects is a continuous process and has
no end unless the project ceases to exist.
➢ Trainees themselves
➢ Trainers/facilitators
➢ NSTP Office personnel
➢ With a given reference, CHED/TED as outside evaluators
➢ Follow-up studies, if there are any

When Do We Evaluate?
Pre-actively evaluation is done before the conduct of the project to provide baseline information on
knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other characteristics of the target clients. It provides data on the
clients’ needs, strength and weaknesses regarding the project.
Evaluation of an ongoing project is necessary to time out how the project is progressing. It
answers questions like:
Post-evaluation of an activity determines whether project objectives have been attained or are the
clients show measurable gain in knowledge, attitude, and skills. It also ascertains the amount of
change that has taken place in the clients.

•Students, based on the needs identified with the community partners, will
propose a project.
