Assignment
Interpreting data is done differently depending on the design that you select as a researcher. The approach you take involves following certain steps and processes, such as data triangulation or field testing, to ensure the validity, credibility, and transferability of your study or project.
Overview
For this assessment, you will complete the Program Evaluation Plan Template by providing data types (program description, meeting minutes, interviews, and so on) and sources of data to answer the evaluation questions you developed for Part 3 of the template. Consider archived data that may be available as well. Once again, as you study the contents of the exercise, you may find you need to revise your logic model and/or your evaluation questions.
Instructions
Using the Program Evaluation Plan Template you began for Assessment and continued using for Assessment, complete Data Collection Plan.
In the Program Evaluation Plan Template, complete the Indicators Development Template. Refer to Exercise 5, starting on page 45 of the Kellogg Foundation's Logic Model Development Guide [PDF] as you complete the table. Also, review the Exercise 5 Checklist on page 47, and ensure that you can check "yes" for each item before finalizing your table.
Below the Indicators Development Template table in the Program Evaluation Plan Template, include several paragraphs that describe and explain the elements in your table. Get the instant assignment help.
Once you have determined the data necessary to conduct a program evaluation, consider whether there are ethical issues or risks to people from whom data will be collected (or the program's participants). The Ethics and Risks section of the Program Evaluation Plan Template follows the Data Collection Plan. Use this section to analyze legal and ethical issues that impact how data is collected and analyzed if the data collection were implemented as planned. Refer to your Assessing Impact text and other resources for information about the use of data and information sources in evaluation.
