This text uses a practical, reader-friendly approach to de-mystify evaluation research. It clarifies evaluation's relationship to social work practice and provides the knowledge necessary to conduct it. It assumes that students have studied traditional research methods and basic statistics or are currently studying them. It contains all necessary definitions and brief explanations of essential research terminology and concepts. However, it relates them directly to their usage in evaluation research, which is often quite diffent from the way they are used in traditional research.
