Description

In week four of SOWK 460, we will start to explore program evaluation methodologies and the practicality of your program evaluation. Most program evaluations use a variant of mixed methods. The chapter readings from Royse (2022) focus on qualitative and mixed methods evaluations and needs assessments. This week, students will submit their group work plans and review how to complete the form.

The agenda will be as follows:

Basics of program design methodologies
Examples of qualitative research
Planning the design of and the tasks completion of your evaluation
