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 \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\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eTightly focused on the realities of carrying out small-scale evaluation, \u003cstrong\u003eSmall-Scale Evaluation\u003c\/strong\u003e is a highly practical guide covering the needs of both social scientists and others without this background.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColin Robson\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Human \u0026amp; Health Sciences at the University of Huddersfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Robson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 141296248X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412962483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Colin Robson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925530280191,"sku":"9781412962483","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_36abc7f7-795c-4b18-9d4a-f5e2baea8e6e.jpg?v=1681077818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/small-scale-evaluation-colin-robson-9781412962483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
