Participatory Impact Pathways Analysis

reproduced in future initiatives. Although the inquiry- and design-based instruction methodology can be traced back to John Dewey, an American philosopher of education reform, it has never been practiced on a wide scale in an American STEM classroom. The impact of the nCase program poses conditions for inquiry; therefore, the primary question being

One evaluation specialists that had a big impact on Cooperative Extension evaluation advancements was Claude Bennett. The work he did helped Extension workers think simultaneously with various types of program outcomes (Rennekamp and Engle, 2008). This started getting Extension workers to think

if their program is accomplishing its founding purpose. To provide that insight and aid in decisions about a current or proposed course of action, a program evaluation can be a very critical tool to determine how well a program is working and what impact it is having on the problem it is attempting to address. With that said, how are intended users and beneficiaries of an evaluation supposed to know if the evaluation they have been given is a good product, with enough substance to guide them in making

To ensure that my program evaluation is objective, credible and fair I would employ internal and external counselors or advisors as well as align my program evaluation with the standards and practices of the professional body of evaluators. These “advisors “may or may not include the program stakeholders, but would not negate the formal process of collaborating with key stakeholders. Rather, the purpose of my advisor team is to see and hear things I missed. These advisors are to me as the evaluator

You are welcome to use this Word document to align with the questions and format your responses. A. “Fighting Back,” a Real-world Evaluation Case (21 points total) The following questions are based on the “Fighting Back Initiative” case that we discussed in class. a. How did the second evaluation team make the best of a bad situation

Initially we thought we were going to be able to conduct an evaluation, but with lack of time, we realized that was no longer feasible. Instead, we decided to take the idea of focusing on the evaluation tools and develop an evaluation how-to of Rachel’s challenge. Our goal was to have a manual to present to UVMC and allow them to continue the evaluation further with our guided manual. During our evaluation of Rachel’s Challenge, it became a concern to us that this program wasn’t really a bullying

Extensive research will also be conducted regarding the impact Meds-to-Beds Programs have in improving medications compliance, improving health outcomes, and

Restating the topic of Doctoral Study Premise The United States is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world but the health outcomes of racial and ethnic populations are still disproportionately affected, as access to health and healthcare utilization can be a difficult and complex path that cuts across various racial and ethnic populations including African immigrant population (Venters & Gany, 2009). These complexities are due to barriers associated with health disparities, linguistic

and First nations people alike have grown increasingly sceptical of researchers who come to facilitate research within their respective societies. To avoid such negative research impacts, many studies with Native American groups have adopted a community-based participatory research approach. Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has been presented as an effective way to help alleviate the dichotomous divide between researchers and communities (Golberg-Freeman et al 2007, in Thomas et al 2011

cars (including cars, trucks, small delivery vans and microbuses), buses, mini-buses (small buses) and trucks (over 3 tons). Subsequently, we conducted measurements of single noise on the streets of the city (n = 533 vehicles), seeking to exclude the impact of other vehicles and other sources of noise. To this end, we used an integrated Extech type II sound level meter (SLM) to evaluate the instantaneous sound level (Li,1sec) during the approach and passage of each vehicle in front of the SLM on roads
