Chapter 3: Methodology
Program
Include an in-depth discussion of the program to be evaluated. This includes an organizational history and description of services.
Participants. This section should include the following elements: (a) the target population or sample (to which it is hoped the findings will be applicable) should be

defined, consistent with the Statement of the Problem and the Research Questions sections; (b) the population from which the sample will actually be drawn should be

specified (this should also include demographic information such as age, gender, and ethnicity); and (c) procedures for selecting the sample should be outlined,

including justification for the sampling method (i.e., sampling procedure).
Evaluation Model
Characterize the evaluation model to be used (noted in the literature review under Evaluation Framework) and how it specifically will be applied to the current study.

This should include an in-depth discussion of the framework, the application specifically related to the program to be evaluated, and any modifications required to fit

the current evaluation.
Instruments
This section will detail each data-collection instrument. The relevant information pertaining to each instrument should include (a) the source or developers of the

instrument, (b) validity and reliability information, and (c) other salient information (e.g., number of items in each scale, subscales).
Procedures [Relevant subheadings pertaining to the evaluation model should be included in this section.]
Design. The appropriate design should be embedded within the evaluation model and is the actual structure or framework that provides the “when,” or time in which data

will be collected (e.g., correlational approach with a predictive design). Include the relevant design or designs and data-collecting procedures for the primary and

secondary phases of the evaluation. Specifically, the type of design should be written in the first sentences of this section, then followed up by the details of how

the data will be collected (i.e., the methodological steps). Write this section in future tense. Convert to past tense where appropriate once data have been collected.

The Procedures section is based directly on the research questions and the design of choice (i.e., this is the “how to” section of the examination) and should be

written step by step in a linear fashion with a timeline.
Data collection procedures. This section should include a discussion about the participants and the program, including the setting, the events (when the data will be

collected), the process, and the type or types of data to be collected through each phase of the evaluation (e.g., surveys, observations, interviews, documents, audio

and visual material). Subheadings may be included to detail each subcomponent of the evaluation.
Data analysis. Indicate the appropriate data analyses that will be used in the investigation. These data analyses should be based on the research questions and the

research design selected for the study. Specify the procedures for reducing and coding the data. For quantitative studies, subsequent data analyses should include

summary descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests (e.g., independent or dependent t test, ANOVA, and chi-square). For qualitative studies, the

procedures to be followed for the analyses must also be addressed.
Limitations
Include any limitations, restrictions, or constraints that may affect the validity of the dissertation’s outcome.
