  • Program Evaluation

    Program Evaluation

    You have learned throughout your coursework that social work practice is based on evidence. This evidence comes from research. One research area in particular is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of social work services and programs. For example, suppose that your field agency runs a program to help teenagers minimize their risk of substance use. To evaluate the program, the agency may distribute surveys at the start of the program and again at the end, or they may use another research method to get the necessary information about goal achievement.

    For this Discussion, you explore how your agency evaluates a given program.

    To prepare:

    • Review the Learning Resources on evaluation and ethics.
    • Consider a program that is offered by your agency. Then, discuss with your field instructor how the agency evaluates the effectiveness of the program.

    Main Assignment: Post

    • Describe the program that is offered by your agency.
    • Explain how the agency evaluates the effectiveness of the program.
      • Be specific about the evaluation process used, the lack of evaluation processes, any plans for evaluating the program, etc.
    • Explain which research approach would be best to evaluate the program.

    Reflect to at least two colleagues:

    • Utilizing the NASW Code of Ethics, provide feedback on your colleagues research approach to program evaluation.
    • Explain how the codes necessary components of research and evaluation apply to your colleagues approaches.
