Good morning, I wanted to see if someone could help me with the following questions because I am not too sure.

Examining groups of people is considered an option in program evaluation.
True
False

I selected false because there are different type of program evaluations and some may involve identifying the positive outcome of the program and to do one must assessment improve of certain groups who utilized a program.

Program Evaluation is not a sound method of conducting research.
True
False

I selected true as my answer but considering that program evaluation requires some research it may be false because it can an effective method for research.

What kinds of "program evaluations" are you dealing with? Educational programs as they are put into place in schools? Or what?

These questions are terribly broad, and thus don't make sense to too many people.

I'd put false for both of them, simply because of the terribly non-specific language in the questions!

I agree these questions are too broad and that is why I am having trouble deciding which approach to take. Thank you.

Good morning! Let's go through your questions one by one.

1. Examining groups of people is considered an option in program evaluation. True or False?

You answered False. In program evaluation, examining groups of people is indeed considered an option. Program evaluation typically involves collecting data from individuals or groups who have been impacted by a specific program or intervention. This data helps assess the effectiveness and outcomes of the program. So, the correct answer is True.

2. Program Evaluation is not a sound method of conducting research. True or False?

You answered True. However, your reasoning suggests that it may actually be False. Program evaluation is a valid and important method of conducting research. It involves systematically assessing the implementation, efficiency, and effectiveness of a program or intervention. It uses a variety of research methods, such as surveys, interviews, observations, and data analysis, to gather evidence and draw conclusions. So, the correct answer is False.

I hope this clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any further questions.
