摘要

在需求评估中经常使用调查来收集关于什么是条件和什么应该是条件方面的差距（需求）的信息。双刻度Likert型仪器通常用于此目的。尽管符合需求的差异定义，但这些措施的质量受到质疑，甚至表明其结果是不可信的。对支持这一主张的八个因素进行了描述，并解释了它们的运作方式。提供了基于文献的例子，以改进双量表的调查，特别是当它们与减弱因素的影响有关时。最后，提供了经验教训，呼吁在评估需求时对这一问题进行更多研究。

What Is and What Should Be Needs Assessment Scales: Factors Affecting the Trustworthiness of Results

Surveys are frequently employed in needs assessment to collect information about gaps (the needs) in what is and what should be conditions. Double-scale Likert-type instruments are routinely used for this purpose. Although in accord with the discrepancy definition of need, the quality of such measures is being questioned to the point of suggesting that the results are not to be trusted. Eight factors supporting that proposition are described with explanations of how they operate. Literature-based examples are provided for improving surveys with double scales especially as they relate to attenuating the effects of the factors. Lastly, lessons learned are offered with a call for more research into this issue in assessing needs.

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Evaluation (AJE) publishes original papers about the methods, theory, practice, and findings of evaluation. The general goal of AJE is to present the best work in and about evaluation, in order to improve the knowledge base and practice of its readers. Because the field of evaluation is diverse, with different intellectual traditions, approaches to practice, and domains of application, the papers published in AJE will reflect this diversity. Nevertheless, preference is given to papers that are likely to be of interest to a wide range of evaluators and that are written to be accessible to most readers.
