After identifying and expressing the need for the program and the professional literature related to the program, students will prepare a logic model. Students will differentiate between process and outcome evaluation, while exploring ethics and knowledge surrounding research methodology such as choosing a measurement tool, and research and sampling design. Finally, students will conduct data analysis using Microsoft Excel and increase their skills in data visualization and reporting. The skill of writing useful recommendations in the context of the organizational structure is vitally important." SOWK 8940.001 Traditional |
