Assignment
Develop a similar table using the research articles on NEP/SEP provided for the program evaluation assignments (there are 7). Find and add at least one additional NEP/SEP research article to the research articles covered to this point in the course (should be a minimum of 8 research articles entries).
Guidance for Creating the Table:
Column I: name of the author[s].
Cloumn II: Title of the article (include the citation here but without the authors' names).
Column III: Research Question: Provide the research question for each article.
Column IV: Most important finding. Be clear and concise with the findings
Submit by the Program Evaluation Assignment one page (single spaced) memo addressed to the instructor of this course. The purpose of the memo is to explain the current state of research on NEP/SEP programs and recommend a future direction. The memo will include these sections:
1. Executive Summary: In three concise sentences, identify the problem/topic/issue to be reviewed, why it is a problem/topic/issue based on previous research, and the next step or the action you want the reader to take. Identify a specific problem/topic/issue that was not directly addressed by the reviewed research.
2. Problem Statement: What is the most important part of the NEP/SEP program that needs further evaluation? Explain. Use the reviewed research to summarize what we know, what we do not know, and the specific problem/topic/issue to be addressed.
3. Background: Referencing only the research questions from the table in the appendix, describe the focus of the current research on NEP/SEP programs. Use the Background section to introduce the problem/topic/issue to be addressed.
4. Findings: Referencing only the findings from the table in the appendix, describe what has been learned about NEP/SEP program effectiveness. How do the findings inform the problem/topic/issue you are addressing?
5. Recommendation: What evaluation strategy would you recommend following to address the identified problem/topic/issue? Explain.
