Multipaper Session 641: When a Triangle Becomes a Three-Sided Square: Measuring Students' Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Interest and Learning through Data Triangulation Although triangulation or the use of multiple methods is widely considered to be good practice in evaluation, there is relatively little guidance in the evaluation literature about how to design a multi-method evaluation to triangulate data appropriately, or how to interpret incongruent findings. Measuring whether and how students' interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) changes in response to program interventions can be particularly challenging, and triangulation is one approach to try improve the confidence and consistency of findings

As well as evaluators nationally that identified a concern with diversity issues in evaluation through membership with American Evaluation Association topical interest groups. We employed a standard concept mapping methodology where participants were asked to generate statements about behaviors and attitudes toward diversity in evaluation and program planning
