Discussion Post: Practicum Project Methodology and Evaluation Justification

Once you have a Practicum Project topic and objectives, you need to determine how you will execute the project. Breaking it down further, you should decide the who, what, how, where, and when associated with each of your Practicum Project objectives. For example, who will make what change, by how much, where, and by when? This methodology will guide the implementation of your project at the practicum site.

But how will you know whether you have met your objectives? How will you know the impact of your project? Formative evaluation, while the project is in progress, and summative evaluation, at the conclusion of the project, offer different types of feedback and information at different points. Thus, evaluation can offer helpful insight into objective achievement.

Task

Post a description of your proposed Practicum Project. Identify a project methodology that is appropriate for your project and explain why it will be valuable to use. Then select the model you will use during your project and explain why it is appropriate for your project. Next, summarize two theories that relate to your Practicum Project and evaluate their application to your experience.

Explain how you will evaluate your Practicum Project. Specifically, describe a formative evaluation plan and a summative evaluation plan you will use. Detail what the evaluations will measure and what information you can gain from the evaluations. Then, describe any potential ethical issues that may occur as you complete your Practicum Project. Explain how you will avoid or address these issues.
