Abstract The Delphi-method is a structured expert questioning, which goal it is to find solutions for complex problems with the help of all the contributions of all persons involved. For this purpose experts of a certain field are asked to take part in a first questioning about a special problem. All the statements are evaluated by the researcher and all the results (as group-opinions) are reported to the experts. Under the influence of the group judgement the experts are requested to take part in a second questioning, then they get another feedback about the results etc. This happens until a consent concerning the problem definition is reached and/or until the opinions do not change any more. The experts remain anonymous among themselves and often towards the researcher. In more recent time the internet is discovered as a tool for the Delphi method, since one promises oneself among other things an easier access to an expert sample. This talk reports about the experiences and the log file analyses of an on-line Delphi called "How do we succeed within evaluation studies?" and discusses among other things the following problems: · How easy is it to find experts within the internet? · How can one affect the response rates? · Is the possibility to interrupt and continue the survey later on used by the experts? · How is the connection between expert status and stopping the participation within a questioning? · How is the connection between expert status and stopping the participation over the different questionings? · What can we learn for future on-line Delphi studies in detail and for on-line surveys in general?
Abstract - optional Bei der Delphi-Methode handelt es sich um eine strukturierte Expertenbefragung, deren Ziel es ist, aus jedem einzelnen Beitrag aller beteiligten Personen Lösungen für komplexe Probleme zu erarbeiten. Zu diesem Zweck werden dabei Experten eines bestimmten Inhaltsbereiches gebeten, in einer ersten Befragungsrunde zu einem bestimmten Problem Stellung zu nehmen. Diese Stellungnahmen werden vom Untersuchungsleiter ausgewertet und deren Ergebnisse werden den Experten als Gruppenurteile zurückgemeldet. Unter dem Einfluss der zurückgemeldeten Gruppenurteile werden die Experten erneut zur Stellungnahme aufgefordert, eine erneute Ergebnisrückmeldung erfolgt usw. Dies geschieht solange, bis ein Konsens bezüglich der Problemstellung erreicht ist bzw. bis sich das Urteil der Experten nicht mehr ändert. Die Experten bleiben dabei untereinander und oft auch dem Untersuchungsleiter gegenüber anonym. In neuerer Zeit wird für die Delphi-Methode auch das Internet als Instrument entdeckt, da man sich hiermit u.a. einen leichteren Zugang zu einer Expertenstichprobe verspricht. Dieser Beitrag berichtet von den Erfahrungen und Logfile-Analysen eines online-Delphis mit dem Titel "Wie werden Evaluationsstudien erfolgreich?" und behandelt u.a. folgende Problemstellungen: · Wie ist eine Expertengruppe über das Internet zugänglich? · Wie kann man die response-Raten beeinflussen? · Wird die Möglichkeit, eine Befragung unterbrechen und später wieder aufnehmen zu können, genutzt? · Wie ist der Zusammenhang zwischen Expertenstatus und Abbruch-Quoten innerhalb einer Befragungsrunde? · Wie ist der Zusammenhang zwischen Expertenstatus und Abbruch-Quoten über die verschiedenen Befragungsrunden hinweg? · Was kann man für zukünftige online-Delphis im Besonderen und online-Befragungen im Allgemeinen lernen?
