Which data could be used to evaluate the impact of a DECA workshop on members' skills?

• A. Weather conditions.
• B. Number of social media posts.
• C. Attendance data.
• D. Pre/post surveys, attendance data, skill assessments, and feedback scores.

Answer: (D)

To evaluate how a DECA workshop affected members’ skills, you want data that directly reflects skill development and participant experience. A comprehensive set—pre/post surveys, attendance data, skill assessments, and feedback scores—provides that. Pre/post surveys show changes in self-perceived or demonstrated skills; attendance confirms who actually participated; skill assessments give objective evidence of ability before and after; feedback scores capture participants’ perceptions of learning and usefulness. Taken together, they reveal not only if skills improved, but who improved and what aspects drove the impact. Weather conditions and social media posts don’t measure skill gains, and attendance alone doesn’t indicate improvement.
