Data Analysis

 

Due Date: May 01, 2017 6pm   Max Points: 190

 

Details:

After the data are collected and before program evaluators meet with management, the data must be analyzed to ensure that it will provide the right type of information for the evaluation. Of vital importance is ensuring that the data fit the indicators identified for analysis. Then, it must be decided how the data and results will be presented. It is important to present the information in ways that make it easy to understand, demonstrate relationships to other data, and allow the information to be used to support decision-making processes. In this assignment, you will write about the methods of analyzing and reporting the study data.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Locate the data collection procedures you developed in Module 5 to use as reference material for this assignment. (see attached Program Evaluation Plan document)
• Locate the mission statement and program description from the existing organization that you referenced in Module 2 to use as examples for this assignment. (see attached The Art of Evaluating A Social Service Program document)
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments.
• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included. (please review the attached papers and the references provided)

Directions:

Based on the data-collection procedures chosen in the Module 5 assignment, write a paper of 1,000-1,250 words explaining how you would analyze and report the data collected. Use language that can be understood by someone without training in statistics and research methods. The adequacy of your response depends on its technical correctness and its appropriateness to the intended audience. Do the following in your paper:

1. Specify and describe the statistical analysis techniques that will be used to compile and summarize the data gathered to determine how the program is operating and whether the program is fulfilling its goals and objectives.
2. Explain how the qualitative data would be analyzed in order to identify trends and patterns in the qualitative responses collected.
3. Explain the benefits of the analysis type selected for the evaluation.
