| CONTENTS |
The course covers current quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods and different project forms. The course mainly focuses on the welfare sector, but is also relevant for evaluation and projects in the industrial life and other organisations. In connection with this, evaluation and work in project form is put in relation to other knowledge production, both practice-oriented and scientific. Development in the public sector is used as a context for an understanding of how different project forms and evaluation instruments have become increasingly important in the organisation of institutions central to society. The difference between managing projects or evaluating change management that is carried out in organisations or as cooperation projects between organisations is addressed.
|
