ED 700.317 - Research Evaluation: From Theory to Application

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Failure to understand, conduct, and apply research weakens organizations and fosters an environment in which progress is stifled. Vendor-driven, consultant-driven, and academic-driven research are weak substitutes for agency-driven research. Students review research in several disciplines and appraise the sources of data and other information for reliability. They apply research methods to gaining new and better understanding of their community, organization, and work unit. They employ specific research methods, such as surveys, focus groups, and quantitative analysis to aid in developing ideas, solving problems, and critically evaluating programs. Notes: This course is only available to students enrolled in Division of Public Safety Leadership programs.
