Through lecture and homework, the course will introduce you to different evaluation perspectives and how they can influence how we evaluate. We'll use the Evaluation Theory Tree categorization system to gain a fuller understanding of one's own framework preferences, then compare, contrast, and explore theories from different branches to identify their application at each step in designing and conducting an evaluation.
This eStudy will occur in two 90-minute sessions and will include preparation materials sent before, between, and after the sessions.
Day 1 - This session will discuss a system for categorizing and comparing evaluation frameworks and the key tenants of prevalent evaluation frameworks for practice included in the categorization schema.
Day 2 - This session will cover the ways in which evaluation frameworks can inform, guide, and be used in practice.
