This course serves as an introduction to the theory and practice of evaluation of publicly funded programs. Main aim is to develop basic conceptual knowledge about program evaluation with focus on the practical competencies for applying this knowledge. Students will be introduced to the main concepts, evaluation designs (plans) and methods of evaluation research, starting from program theory to evaluating the effectiveness of program effects and presenting evaluation results. The acquired skills can be used in different positions within the public, private or non-profit sector (e.g., project manager, internal or external evaluator, policy analyst). Experienced evaluators from practice are involved in the teaching, and students learn on real evaluation projects. Graduates of the course should be able to: • discuss the different purposes and types of evaluation of public programs; • develop a complete evaluation project design to evaluate the impact of a specific public program; • understand the main methods of effect evaluation and assess the effectiveness of the program; • summarize and interpret the results of the evaluation; • identify the social, political and ethical issues associated with evaluation. |
