Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Develop evaluation objectives in negotiation with a sponsoring organisation, and in light of relevant policy and literature.
Develop a suitable evaluation design and refine discipline-related skills for data collection.
Produce satisfactory ethics applications based on current legislation and professional practice.
Organize and collect data relevant to negotiated objectives and with due consideration for the sponsoring organization'r physical and social environment.
Analyse, interpret, and present data that allow evaluation of objectives and are coherent with the sponsoring organization'r values and culture.

Brief description
In addition to funding research that is typically conducted in academic settings and focused on developing knowledge, advancing theory, and providing evidence for intervention efficacy, public and private organizations (e.g., Countryside Council for Wales, Ramblers Cymru) also fund evaluation projects designed to assess the effectiveness of existing applied programmes and interventions with a health and well-being agenda. Key outcomes of these applied programme evaluations include informing policy, contributing to sustainment plans, and programme improvement. Values inherent in such applied programme evaluations may be encapsulated in the American Evaluation Association'r professed values promoting high quality, ethically defensible, and culturally responsive practices that contribute to effective and humane organizations, sound professional decision making, intervention and policy improvement, and the enhancement of public well being. The purpose of the current module is to provide students with experience in conducting a high quality, ethical, and culturally responsive evaluation of a programme with an applied health and well being agenda.
