To prepare:
- Review Chapter 11 from your course text listed in this week’s Learning Resources
- Review at least one of the examples of program evaluation in this week’s Learning Resources.
Post your comprehensive response to each of the following:
- Briefly restate the general nature of your team’s RFP’s program (The ABC University Sexual Harassment).
- How might you use an experimental design to test a question that would be relevant to your program evaluation (e.g., compare an outcome for a group that received the program versus one that did not during the same time period, especially if the participants are randomly assigned to be in the program/no program groups)? What is a specific question you could address for your example?
- Describe the specifics of your design for addressing this question. What is your independent variable? What might be a viable dependent variable to answer the question? What hypothesis would you be testing for the proposed evaluation?
- What would be one method you might use to reduce threats to internal validity with this design?
