To prepare:
- Review Chapter 10 from your course text listed in this week’s Learning Resources.
- Review U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (2016) from this week’s Learning Resources.
- Consider how you might develop a program evaluation based on quasi-experimental design.
- Consider the variables and hypotheses you might want to test as part of your program evaluation. Also, what are potential threats to internal validity that might be associated with this kind of program evaluation design?
Post your comprehensive response to each of the following:
- Briefly restate the general nature of your team’s RFP’s program (e.g., school anti-bullying program).
- How might you use a quasi-experimental design to test a question that would be relevant to your program evaluation (e.g., comparing age or gender groups or two preexisting programs)? 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?
