Program Evaluation

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This excellent book on program evaluation is masterfully tailored for students studying social work and social workers themselves. It is comprehensive, clear, and unique to this field. It should be essential reading by members of our profession.' Haluk Soydan, retired Professor of Social Work, University of Southern California, and co-founder of the International Campbell Collaboration 'I expect this text will become a gold standard resource for program evaluation in the field. Allen Rubin strikes the right balance between rigorous methods and feasible approaches. Drawing on years of experience, he demystifies program evaluation with practical examples and user-friendly language.' Jennifer L. Bellamy, Professor of Social Work and Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development, University of Denver 'Allen Rubin has done it again! His past works have been seminal for over 40 years. Now, he consolidates his experience into this marvellous, practical volume. As the title states, this book is truly pragmatic.' Kevin Corcoran, Professor of Social Work, University of Alabama 'Bravo! Allen Rubin explains complicated concepts in ways that make them appear simpler and even enjoyable. This book, long needed for social work education, simplifies the process of practice evaluation from conceptualization of desired outcomes through dissemination of findings, without skimping on explanations of this critical content.' Joanne Yaffe, Professor of Social Work and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, University of Utah 'Finally, a thorough program evaluation text that covers everything! This book focuses on the practical application of program evaluation in real settings. It is well-organized and chock-full of valuable examples and tips that will help evaluators and human services professionals increase the feasibility and utility of program evaluation.' Danielle E. Parrish, Associate Professor of Social Work, Baylor University 'Program evaluation provides a foundation for evidence-informed policy and practice in the social services. Human service professionals are key to developing that evidence. This book provides students and practitioners with the knowledge, values, and skills needed for such evaluations.' Edward J Mullen, Willma and Albert Musher Professor Emeritus, Columbia University
