Translating Knowledge From an Evaluation Study

Instructors often comment that they learn much more about their subject matter when they begin to teach it. When they try to explain the topic to someone else, they begin to connect concepts in new ways. They anticipate questions that students might ask and consider different viewpoints. Thus, there is not only external value in guiding or instructing others; there is internal value for you as well. This idea of instruction-as-growth can be directly applied to the disseminating of research. The results of an evaluation do not serve a purpose without being shared, either within the organization or more broadly across the social work discipline. Such sharing facilitates critical thinking and potential application to practice.

For this Discussion, you assume the role of a social worker who is instructing their colleagues on the results of a particular evaluation study, and giving their recommendation about whether the organization should consider adopting the program or practice.

Resources

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. 

WEEKLY RESOURCES

To Prepare

· Select an evaluation study from this week’s resources. Consider how you would present the information to a group of colleagues.

· Download the PowerPoint Presentation template from the Learning Resources and use it for this Discussion. Attached separately

Assignment

Post three slides in which you present the results of the evaluation to a group of social work colleagues. Within your slides:

· Summarize the important points of the study, including background information, research methods used to evaluate the program or practice, and the main findings.

· State whether you would support adopting the program or practice in your agency or community setting, based on the evidence. 

Prepare your slides in a way that would hold your colleagues’ interest. Do not include narration.

Slide Title

Go to the “Home” tab at the top and click the “New Slide” or “Layout” button to access different formatting for your slides.

Choose formatting that presents your information in the most logical way.

Use parallel construction for bulleted lists. Review OASIS resources on parallel construction and APA formatting of lists.

Parallel Construction

APA Guidelines for Lists

End bullet points consistently, either with or without a period.

Slide Title

Keep the font of the text consistent.

Be sure headings are consistent in their spacing, placement, size, etc.

Consider using the slide after the title slide to summarize your presentation’s points.

Slide Title

Your slides can also contain entire paragraphs, like this one does. In both paragraphs and bulleted lists in your presentation, citation rules apply just as they do in papers. When using or referencing another author’s ideas, you must cite that source. When incorporating an in-text citation in a slide, do so just as you would in a traditional paper: According to Jones (2020), presentations are not very different from papers.

According to Smith and Cat (2020), you should make your presentation great, not just good.

Use APA style rules to format any tables and figures in your presentation

Always include a reference list at the end of your presentation, just like you would in a paper.

Reference list entries take the same format they would in a paper, including a hanging indent. Visit the Common Reference List Examples page to review APA formatting for different types of sources.
