Course Outlines
This course prepares co-learners to engage in community-based research and evaluation (R&E) projects, by introducing them to prevalent research and evaluation methodologies, and engaging co-learners in exploring the practical, political, cultural, ethical, and interpersonal dimensions of doing research and evaluation within diverse urban communities. Based in best practices research, and rooted in real-life examples within a Hamilton context, the course provides practical tools for leading effective research and evaluation projects, and for engaging in persuasive community-driven dissemination of project results and findings. Co-learners will have an opportunity to consider their roles and impact as outsiders in facilitating authentic, community-driven R and E projects. Using a blended approach to learning, the course provides co-learners the opportunity to learn about methodologies and dissemination methods at their own pace through online technologies while face to face (F2F) time is used to engage deeply with the challenges of doing R and E in communities, and to collaborate in applying these approaches to real-life situations and settings in their professional lives.
