Unit 1 Discussion
Throughout this course,
many opportunities are available to post an initial response to a Discussion
topic as well as to respond to your classmate’s responses.
After you have completed
the reading, and without reviewing your classmate's responses, post your
initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 300
words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your
course materials and/or other appropriate resources.
After you have submitted your initial post,
review some of your classmate’s posts and respond to at least 2 of your
classmates. Refer to your Discussion Board Rubric in Course Resources for a specific grading explanation.
This week’s Discussion will
focus on program evaluation.
Maritza is a human service
professional who works in a program that provides parenting education and
support to women who have been incarcerated. Maritza works with these paroled
women in a weekly group meeting. She provides women with information about child
development and positive parenting techniques. She also leaves time for the
women to discuss, within the group, any specific issues that are troubling them
with parenting.
Many of the women have not
had regular contact with their children for a long time. Maritza knows that her
program is helpful to these women as they often comment to her informally on
how much they have learned. Yet, Maritza must provide “data” to her
supervisors that show that the program is working.
After completing the reading
for this week, address the following questions:
1.
What
information or “data” from her parenting group might be useful to Maritza?
Explain your answer.
2.
Contrast
at least two main differences between an objective perspective and a subjective
perspective.
3.
What
is the importance of research in human services delivery and how will it be
useful to you?
4.
Is
the use of an objective or subjective perspective better when evaluating a
human service program? Explain your answer.
