Experimental Design Evaluation
- Review Chapter 11 from your course text listed in this week’s Learning Resources
- Review at least one of the examples of program evaluation in this week’s Learning Resources.
Post your comprehensive response to each of the following:
- Briefly restate the general nature of your team’s RFP’s program (The ABC University Sexual Harassment).
- How might you use an experimental design to test a question that would be relevant to your program evaluation (e.g., compare an outcome for a group that received the program versus one that did not during the same time period, especially if the participants are randomly assigned to be in the program/no program groups)? What is a specific question you could address for your example?
- Describe the specifics of your design for addressing this question. What is your independent variable? What might be a viable dependent variable to answer the question? What hypothesis would you be testing for the proposed evaluation?
-

Answer
The ABC University Sexual Harassment Program aims to reduce harassment incidents and improve bystander intervention among students. It consists of a two-part, face-to-face training designed to educate students about campus policies, support victims, and encourage proactive peer involvement in preventing sexual harassment.
An experimental design could be used to test the program’s impact by comparing outcomes between students who received the training and those who did not. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) could randomly assign students to a training group or a control group, assessing both before and after participation using survey data from the Campus Climate Survey.
A specific question could be: Does participation in ABC University’s sexual harassment training increase students’ willingness to intervene when witnessing sexual harassment?
The independent variable would be participation in the training (trained vs. untrained), and the dependent variable would be students’ self-reported likelihood of bystander intervention. Experimental Design Evaluation
