Practice Evaluation
Concepts
Levels of measurement
Characteristics of all Measures
Measuring behavior
100
Use of formal and systematic evaluation methods to help the social workers assess, monitor, evaluate cases, and improve results.
What is Evaluation Informed Practice
100
Categories of perception or experiences, or groupings of objects or events
What is concepts
100
The numerical values just "name" the attribute uniquely. No ordering of the case is implied.
What is nominal level of measurement.
100
Errors by chance, cancel each other out, do not influence final score
What is random measurement error
100
when a problem occurs too often needs to be decreased
What is an example of frequency
200
Meeting goals and objective, decision of what to do next, critical function of practice, empirical support, required by NASW.
What is reasons to evaluate practice
200
The process of specifying what we mean by a term. It is the process of finding general behavior patterns among the bits and pieces of specific situations in every day life.
What is Conceptualization
200
Attributes are rank-ordered.
What is ordinal level of measurement
200
The extent to which a measure contains random measurement errors
What is reliability
200
When the problem involves time (too long a period, not long enough)
What is duration
300
Single Subject Design
What is the backbone of practice evaluation
300
Assigns meaning to a variable in terms of the operations necessary to measure it in any concrete situation
What is operational definition
300
Distance between attributes does have meaning.
What is Interval level of measurement
300
The extent to which a measure contains systematic measurement error
What is validity
300
The period of observation is selected and then divided into equal blocks of time.
What is interval count
400
Receiving intervention
What is experimental group
400
In this type of research, conceptualization is an important part of the process used to make sense of related observations.
What is inductive research.
400
There is an absolute zero that is meaningful
What is ration level of measurement
400
This type of characteristic is easy to create, measure, interpret, and administer.
What is utility
400
coding forms, prepared checklists, stop watches, counters
What are examples of instruments used in measurements
500
Receiving placebo
What is control group
500
In this type of research, conceptualization helps to translate portions of an abstract theory into testable hypotheses involving specific variables.
What is deductive research
500
Measurement that is hard to obtain in human behavior
What is objective measurement
500
Is the act of measurement alone likely to change your results is an example of
What is reactivity
500
Client is not aware that he or she is being measured.
What is non-obtrusive measurers
