Abstract
This article provides details of the background for the focus of this special issue-the accounts from groups of students who conducted evaluations of a local agency while enrolled in a Program Evaluation course in a Psy.D program. These projects were a part of the 5th year that students in the course worked explicitly with an agency on a Program Evaluation. Important themes and insights from the experiences of all 5 years are presented. Analysis of course evaluation data indicates these evaluation group projects were associated with a significant increase in the rating students gave the course. Comments from students on the evaluation forms likewise support the value of this experience, as well as pointing out some additional areas for consideration.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
