{"product_id":"9781412962483","title":"Small-Scale Evaluation","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvaluation research can assess the value and effectiveness of interventions and innovations involving people. While this has often been on a grand scale, this book focuses on small-scale projects carried out by an individual or small group, typically lasting for weeks or at most a few months, at a local rather than national level. Using limited jargon and featuring integrated, real-world examples, this second edition offers a clear, accessible background to evaluation and prepares you to undertake your own small-scale evaluation research project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features include discussion of:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDifferent approaches to evaluation and how to choose between them\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe advantages and disadvantages of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRealist evaluation and its increasing importance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe centrality of ethical and political issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe influence and opportunity of the Internet\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTightly focused on the realities of carrying out small-scale evaluation, Small-Scale Evaluation is a highly practical guide covering the needs of both social scientists and others without this background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Robson is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Human \u0026amp; Health Sciences at the University of Huddersfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051788550384,"sku":"9781412962483","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412962483_p0.jpg?v=1763724958","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412962483","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
