Based on Leviton and Hughes' Conceptualization ofvariable Clusters that affect evaluation utilization, a procedure formeasuring utilizatiop potential was deve14ed. Five clusters ofvariablesoate consistently related to utilizatiOn: relevance,credibility, communication, information processing, and userinvolvement and advocacy. The communication and informationprocessing factors were combined for this study. To relate the fourremaining factors to decision-making within the context of.Title Iprograms, Title I decision areas were identified. They include fundallocation, program adoptien or change, Staffing, student selection,and test selectioh. The generation of items for the pilot instrumbntwas a multistage process involving Title I Technical AssistanceCenters across the country-. From the several hundred items generated,a 65-iteT pilot instrument was developed and, pilot tested. Maximumlikelihood factor.analysis using a subset of items revealed a set ofcorrelated factors related to Levitçn and Hughes' conceptualization.The exploratory factor analysis resu ts were not confirmed on asecond sample, but this may have bee due to small sample sizes. Thisresearch indicates that the possibility of developing a scale toassess utilization potential is very real. (Author/BW)

Introductionc
During the 1970s there was ebnsiderable focus on evaluation utili-
zation and many articles began to appear on this topic. More.recently,
several analytic reviews have appeared (e.g., Haenn, 1980; Hansen, Martin
and Oxford, 1979; Leviton and Hughes, 1981). The reviews all attempted
to identify clusters or "utilization factors" and involved at least two
and usually three or more levels of factors with each major,factor
divided,into subfactors.
The three reviews mentioned here had a fair amount of overlap in
terms of references, but approached the task through somewhat different
perspectives. The review by Haenn was considered in the context of
school district utilization; the Hansen et. al. review was considered in
the context of Title I evaluation. The Leviton and Hughes review con-
sidered utilization in a much broader context, not restricted to school
related environments. Additionally, the Leviton and Hughes paper devoted
considerable attention to the definitional and methodological ptoblems
inherent in research on evaluation utilization.
Much of the research on utilization has, of necessity, relied on the
use of interviews (e.g., Caplan, 1977; David, 1978) and intensive case
studies (e.g., Alkin, et. al:, 1979; Patton, 1978) and questionnaires.
Leviton and Hughes cite four major problems these techniques have with
respect to utilization research: 1) "...it is difficult to document that
utilization occurs, because evaluations are frequently used informally...,"
2) "demonstrating that change, at any level, was caused at least in part
by evaluationi...," 3)"...the question of base rates .for compariion.
Until. recently, we believed the base rate for utilization wils very low.
We are learning that fhe fault may lie with our measures...," and 4)

...the unit of analysis: What is an instance of utilization? It is
necessary to quantify utilization if ve are to show that it can be
enhancgd." (Leviton and Hughes, p. 533). Although not a methodological
problem per se, one might also add cost considerations as a problem with
interview and case study approaches to research on utilization.
Given the methodological problems inherent in much of the Utiliza
tion research, One might ask the question: Is there Any way of develop
ing a scale that would measure utilization directly? The answer is
probably in the negative, but it might be possible to develop a scale
that would measure "potential" for utilization where the higher the
potential the more likely it is that utilization occurs. Working within
the utilization conceptual framewotk developed by Leviton and Hres,
this paper reports preliminary results of a pilot study designed to
develop such an instrument. Briefly described in the next section are
the five clusters (hypothetical factors) conceptualized h(dLeviton and
Hughes.
Hypothetical Factors
ton and Hughes identified five clusters of variables that seemed
consistentl ted to utilization. The five clusters are: 1) Relevance,
2) Credibility, Communication, 4) Information Processing and 5) User
dvocacy. - Each of these is briefly discussed below.Involvement
)4Relevance. The primary concern of this category is whetherthe eva .
/uatiori meets ehe user's needs. This ia viewed as essential to utilization.
Relevance assumes that the evaluation.answers the necessary questions or
measures goals that are viewed as important by users. One variable within
this cluster is timeliness: the need to have evaluation results in time

for oonsideratiOn before key decisions are made.
Credibility. Credibility of the information and the information
1 producer also affects utilization. CredibilitY*of evaluation as it is
compared to alternative available sources of itjemation, preconceptions
or biases of users toward research, trust in the research, and perceived1
quality of the informatioft are some aspects of credibility that affect
utilization.
Communication. Another category of variablei is broadly referred
4
to as communication. The pertinent variables included are associated
with communication as it occurs within the bureaucratic hierarchies where
the evaluation is focused. Important to utilization is the frequency of
contact between the producers of the evaluation apd the potential users.
Also important is the existence of networks in the bureaucratic hierarchy
which assure that, during dissemination, valuable information is not left
out or dilstorted.
Information Processing. Information processing refers to the impor-
tance of-translating evaluation findings into specific implications. Eval-
uations must be structured to answer specific questions and they should
tt
be clear in terms of their goals and objectives. The information process-
ing style of the administratot (user), generally different from the
evaluator's style, has implications for utilization. Evaluations should
be presented in a style familiar to the user..
' User Involvement and AdvOcacy. User involvement and advocacy are
Variables of a political nature. Utilization is affected by be level.

of interest and commitment of decision makers to ihe process of evalua-
tion as well as.to the program being evaluated. .The direction of the
evaluation results, i.e., w#ether or not they support theiadvocate'S
position, will impinge upon utilization:
Four Factors. For our purposes, it was felt that the "Information
Processing" cluster or factor had considerable overlap with the "Communi-
cation" factor and we elected to combine the two factors. Our interest
was in the development of a scale that would assess utilization potential
within the context of Title I decision-making. Using the conceptual
.framework developed by Levitom and Hughes, re.Oed to four factors: 1)
Rtlevance, 2) Credibility, 3) Communication, and 0 User Involvement and
Advocacy we believed such a scale, could be developed. To relate the in-
strument to decidion-making, Title I decision areas were identified as
discussed in the next section.
IDecis ion Areas r
Within Title I, at least five areas were identified where school
district personnel made decisions. These areas were: 1) fund allocation,
2) program adoption or change, 3) staffing, 4) student selection, and 5)
test selection. Evaluation has the potential for informing administrators
making decisions in each of these areas as described below.
Fund Allocation. School administrators are always making decisions
concerned with funding. In a Title I context, such decisions 'Might be
concerned with how funds should be allocated to different projects,(e.t.,
reading and math projects).
Program Adoptton or Change. Decision-making in tilts area is concerned
'with selection of.a program best meeting the needs of students served or

with how an operating program might be imprred. Which program will
best serve the needs of students? Would increasing time( pent in drill

required in the area of program adoption or change.
that ,imply decisions
Staffing. Staffing decisions might include deciding what staffing'
pattern is required, deciding which staff shoufd participate pr what
staff training is necessary to successfully implement or operate a\., .
program.
Student Selection. Deciding which students should participate in a
program is an obvious decision that must be made. Peihafs-more cruc-ial
in this area is deciding what selection process should be implemented.
Test Selection. Deciding on a testing program that serves multiple
purposes can involve many decisions. For example, "Does a test acculrately-
reflect program goals?" or "Should outof,level eesting be-used?" Are
questioni which need to be considered when test stteGtion decisions are
being made.
.Summary of Decision-Areas. The,decision areas briefly discussed in
this section are only a few of the areas where school district administra
tors make decisions. The five Areas--fund allocation, program adoption
or change, staffing, studene selection, and test selection were discussed .
in this section because these areas are general across school districts
and Title I.

Methodp"
Development of the Instrument
The generation of items for the pilot instrument was a multistige
process involving Title I Technical Assistance Centers (TACs) across the
country. Each TAC receiv concept paper describing the "factors" and
our approach to developing item, a brief description of the "factors"
and a matrix showing the five decision areas wiihin which Title-I decision-
making was likely tdoccur ief description and matrix are in Appen-
dix A). Each TAd was asked to develop items for each decision area
within two "factors."
From the several hundred items generated, after categorizing and
_ editing, a sixty-five item pilot instrument was developed. This instru-.
'ment was reviewed by state and local school district staff and by TAC
staff. Based on reviewer comments, additional editing was done before a
final pi ot instrument was distributed.
instrument requested respondeints to rate each of the sixty-
,five items o dimensions--the degree to which the described condition
Akisted in the district and the importance of the condition. Both ratings
were done on five point acales with a "1" indicating little existence (or
importance) and a "5" indicating considerable existence (or importance).
Although the instrument was very lengthy, all items were retained for
piliot testing With the tntent of reducing the instrument to about thirty
items in its final form.

sample was then randomly split into two samples (I and II) of size 50:
Sample I instruments requested respondent identification (name business

* respondent identification. Both inst ruments had,a page requesting back-
ground information (posiiion, number of years in Tiqe I, highest degree

which it had been developed--Relevance (R), Credibility (Cr), Communica-

each hypothetical factor separately for the existence (ES) and Importance

_Odreskog and Slirbom, 1978). Both LISREL analyses resulted in significant
rs indicating that the four fact% model, as specified, was ndi con-
firmed. These results wet-6 somewhat puzzlifig, VSS analyses indicated one
large general factor dominated by User Involvement items, .but also
including Rtlevance and Communication,items. It seemed quite possible
that the,LISREL models were misspecified.
Since the concept of a scale to measure evalu\a.tion utilization poten-
tial is relatively new, we felt additional, more exploratory, analyses
should be conducted. These analyses are described in the next section
on Phase II analyses.
Phase II analyses
The main concern of the Phase II analyses was to conduct exploratory
factor analyses that would lead to a set of factors that could be con-
firmed in subsequent analyses. To accomplish this, we decided to randomly
split the samples into two subsamples (Sample A and Sample B). SaMple A
would be used for exploratory analyses and Sample B would be uied for
confirmatory analyses. This decision created another problem, subsample
n's would most likely be muchltoo small to factor analyze the full
65-item set. It was decided to work with a 30-item subset.
Item,SelectiOn. To Select the 30-Aem subset, We first had the 65-
items independently classified into the four hypothetical factor cate--,
gories.(R) Cr, Co and UI) by three raters. A total of 60 items were
assigned to the kame hypothetical factor category by at least ewo of 'the
raters while 27 of the items were assigned to the same category by all
three iaters. Twenty-seven items, of the 30-icem subset were those items
assigned to 1 categOry by all three raters. Since'Only four User Involve-

(Dziuban and Shirkey, 1974). Bartletts's test of sphericity was rejecied
(411239.05, p<.001) indicating the Stibsample A correlation matrix was
suitable for aceoring. Inspection of the off-diagonal elements of the
anti-image matrix showed 13.33 percent of the elemepts were greater than
zero (>.09),-small enough to indic'ete the matrix suitable for factoring.
Finally, Kaiser's measure of sampling adequacy of .78 (almost the "merito-
rious" range in the .80s) indicating the matrix was suitable for factoring.
(Dziuban and Shirkey provide a brief discussion of each test.)
,Nine factors'were extracted from the Suhsample A correlation matrix
before a nonsignificant Chi Square value was reached. ( significant Chi
Square value indicates that a significant amount of Air ance remains in
the residual correlation matrix.) The pattern matrix was rotated oidiquely
uiing the Kaiser.Normalization procedure. Application of the Scree test
(Gorsuch, pp. 152-156) and visual inspection of the rotated structure
matrix indicated that at, least five of the factors were interpretable.
As a check'that the .rotated pattern matrix attained simple structure,
the five criteria by Thurstone (Gorsuch, pp. 164-165) were applied. The
.results of the tests for simide structure.are given,in Table 4.

The items in each of the four pre-determined categories (R, Cr, Co and
UI) tended to correlate highly with one, and in some cases two, of the
factors resulting from the analysis. Six of the seven User Involvement
items correlated highly with the sixth factor of the nine factor configu-
ration.
The Credibility items correlated highlY for the most part with fac-
tors 1 and 3, having somewhat higher correlations on'the average with
factor 3.
The ten Communication' items correlated most highly with factor 4,
with a substantial number also Forrelating (though not as laghly) with
factor 6.
The fourth category of items, Relevance, seemed to be the most defin-
itive in term; of tile factor structurf. These itemi clearly and nearly
exclusively correlated on factor 5.
Hence, the oblique rotational procedures resulted' in items within
the categories correlating primarily,with a total of five factors, with
the remaining four factors being of rlat.ively small significance.. ,
The next step in the analysis, and often the most difficult one in
factor analysis, was an attempt to draw an .interpretation of the major
resulting five factors in light of the four-item categories. In an
effort to further interpretation of the factiors, the content of each
item was examined in relation to factors with which the item was highly
correlated.
'The first area for investigation of item content was for those items

which correlated significantly ;rith more than one factor. For rample,

cantly with both factors 4 and 6 were examined on item content. Four of
thest five items hail correlated highly.with factor 4 which, upon closer
investigation of 'item content, could be interpreted as a "Cammunication"
factor. Of the ten total Communication items, five items correlated
significantly with factor 6, which appeared to be a "User Involvement"
factor. 'The wording of the five items which overlapped factors 4 And 6
(Communication and User Involvement) was examined,. In four of the;i five
pre-categorized Communication items the words "ulied" or "useful" terms
were found, indicating reason why same sampled respondents.might lave
interpreted such items in a "user invalvement" 'sense as well as in a
ft communication" sense.
The other item category which contained a number of items which cor-
related on more than one factor were the Credibility items--four of six
correlating highly with both factors 1 and 3. An examination of the
terminology for these four items which had cOrrelated with factoi 1
showed the use of "decison-making" terms within ffie content of each item.

Since factor 3 had been temporarily termed the "Credibility" factor, it
seemed worthy to examine the content of items which correlated only with
factor 1 and no other factors, and those Credibility items which did notir
correlate with 'factor 1. Othtr items which correlated with factor 1, and
--;
not with other factors, had similar "decision-making" terminology within_
them. Factor A, therefore, seemed to- be interpretable as A .Decision-
Making factor, different from the four *A-detprmined categories. Those
Credibility items which did not correlaIwith.tfie Decision-Making factor
I did not contain terminology Mentioning "decisions," but rather could
be termed ttpurett Credibility items.,

In summary, ,the exploratory analysis on*.Subsample A produced a nine--
factor structure. Four of these factors were relatively minor in terms
of the number of items within any of the four pre-determined categories
which correlated highly on any one of the factors, i.e. item correlations
with these four factors were generally smaller and dispersed across all
four pre-determined categories of items (R, Cr, Co and UI). Theinterpre-
tation of the exploratory factor analysis is that the four pre-determined
categories of items correlated differentially primarily on five factors,
which upon examination of the iteds with respect to the, factors resulted
in the factors being interpreted as Relevance, Credibility,iCammunication,.
User Involvement and Decision-Making.
Subsample B confirmatory analyses. The program LISREL (J6reskog and
Sbrbom, 1978) was used for cotifirmatory analyses. Basically, by using
the Subsample A pattern matrix and factor correlation matrix (see Appendix
C) with the Subsample B correlation matrix a maximum likelihood test on
the-residual matrix is available. The relationship between the matrices
is shown below.

When Only estimates for .11ywere fixed, the test, if nonsignificant, would

Discussion, Summary and Implications
Based op the Leviton and Hughes' conceptualization of variable clus-
ters that affect utili4tion, a procedure for Measuring utilization
11
potential was described. 'Preliminary results of the pilot effort, within
the context of Title / ev luation utilization, were presented,
Maximum likelihood factor analyses using a subset of items with ai
random half of the data base Alearly indicated that a set of correlated
factors related to the Leviton and Hughes' factor conceptualization were
I
found. Additionally, a,decision-making factor also appeared that may
have been due to the wording of same items. ---
The exploratory factor analysis results were not confiTmed on a second
sample. However, this should not be taken as an indication that either
the Leviton and Hughes conceptualization was not confirmed or that an
instrument for measuring utilization potential is not possible. By split-
ting the sample, our effective n's became quite small for the application
of factor analytic techniques. When sample size is considered, we feel
the results are highly suggestive. The possibility of developing a scale

tilization Factors
'Leviton and Hughes (1980) have proposed a five factor structure for the construct
of utilization.Although it is possible to question any or all of the proposed,
factors, ve helieve that out goal of measuring utilization will be more readily
ichieved.by hsing a relatively concise conceptualization of the construct thtaby attempting to employ one of the more ekaborate models described the,litera-
ture.
As described by Leviton and Hughes, eadh of the five factors 1ssociated with
.eviluation utilization is comprised of a Cluster of discrete variables. We have
chosen to paraphrase, and call these variables "facilitating conditions";

b. Evaluations provide timely infoimation,i.e. data are available when needed fordecision making.
a. There is formal and informal interactionbetween evaluator and users ofevaluation information (teachers, programpeople, administrators).
b. As information filters through the bureau=-cratic hierarchy, no information is distort
or omitted.
The evaluation information communicated to
each user is specific to his/her needs.
d. The information cammunicated to each user
is in a form he/she can readily'assimilate.
a. Information from evaluation is seen asan important part of the total knowledge
base on which decisions are based.
b. Information users have confidence in the
evaluation findings.
a. Key personnel have a sense of ownershipof the evaluation results, and believethat results will validly inform decision?'making.
b. Information users are willing to seriouslY'sconsider evaluation results in'the context
of their decision-making.

A fifth factor, "Information Processing", is described to include such conditionsas clarity of reports, and unique characteristics'of information required by dif-ferent decision..makers. We feel there is much overlap with "Communication" in thisfactor, and so have elected to omit Information Processing from our schema ofUtilization structure.
,
Th f r factor structure we have chosen to repredent the notion of evaluation
ut ation can be used, therefore, to develop a measurable definition of utilize-. We propose the following definitioh:
Evaluati6 utilization occurs when decisions are made in the context of:
1. Belief in the relevance of evaluation information2. Awareness of the importahce,of communicating evaluation results
to all potential users3. Faith in the credibility of the data, and4. User involvement and advocacy of evaluation as decision-making tool.

Instructions for Developing Item Concepts
-
The Region V TAC used a modified Nominal Group Technique (NGT) as described byDelbecq et al (1975) to generate items for the four columns and five rows of thematrix. Based upon our experience with this method of item concept generation,we offer the following suggestions for a procedure to be used by all TACs.
1. Appoint one person to assume responsibility for coordinating the item concept writing effort. This person,should carefully read the position paper,identify persons to participate in item concept writing, distribute copiesof paper to identified writers, chair two meetings of writers, and send inthe iesulting item concepts to Region V.
We suggest that each TAC focus on writing item concepts for two columns (tobe decided at this TAC Directors' Meeting) of the matrix. Each individualitem writer.should write items for only one column.
2. The item writing coordinator should 'onvene a meeting to explain the modeland the nature of the proposed instrument. This will involve:
a. describing the four factor model derived from the Leviton and Hughespaper;
b. describing the five Title I decision areas;c. displaying the matrix, and sample item cOncepts for one column (provided);d. describing the two scales on which LEA respondents will be asked to rate
each item. Namely, an LEA Tit e I Evaluator and/or Title I ProgramAdministrator will be asked to rate the extent to which,the conditiondescribed in the item exists n his/her district, and also to.rate theextent to which Technidal Ass stance would be welcomed to facilitatethe described condition;'
e.. assigning one column to each individual item writer.
3. Item concept writing may be done in the meeting, or individually. Ourexperience suggests that individual item concept writing might be mostefficient, once all participants fully understand the task.
4.. All items should be returned to the CoOrdinator who will have them typedand copies made for each item concept writer;
5. At a second meeting, items are discussed and ranked, by matrix cell. Duplicate items and/or rela concepts may be eliminated or combined and thelist refined prior to ranking.
6. All item concepts, ranked in the second meeting, should be returned to. Laura Crane, Region V, by November 3, 1980.
