This presentation was delivered on February 22, 2012 as part of the EGSS ScholarShare series.
This presentation introduces the discipline of program evaluation and offers a glimpse to how developmental evaluation responds to the call of providing an evaluation approach to working in complex contexts, such as social innovation. I conclude by introducing the notion of design and design thinking as a way of approaching problems we face in today’s complex world.
I discuss, briefly, some of the strategies I employed to manage my own thesis research as a graduate student researcher in education.
