| Abstract | A view of needs assessment consistent with ecological frameworks is presented in this paper. Discussion focuses on intensive and extensive data types, horizontal approaches, and basic assumptions and requirements of convergent analysis. Also discussed are four linking mechanisms used to connect information among data levels used in convergent analysis: conceptual, statistical methodology, common subjects, and location. Limitations of a concurrent strategy and benefits of longitudinal research designs are also covered. The concluding discussion defines and illustrates three ways of operationally defining "need" in needs assessment studies. It is argued that discrepancy, demand, and dialogue models encompass nearly all theoretical categories of need occurring in the literature. Together these models provide a useful taxonomy for comparing models of assessment. Positive attributes and problems associated with each of the three models are pointed out. It is concluded that it would be a mistake to view the elements of needs assessment as mutually exclusive. Rather, the task of needs assessment design is to find the most useful balance among the elements that conform to the constraints and objectives of a given study. (RH) |
