Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Scientific evaluation is concerned with the application of empirical research methods to assess interventions in terms of their concept, implementation and impact. Cooperation with stakeholders from society, politics and practice is essential in all phases of an evaluation project. Accordingly, scientific evaluators are characterized by high methodological, analytical and communicative skills, which they apply flexibly and according to the scientific state of the art to practical situations.
For graduates of the Master's degree program in Psychology, scientific evaluation is a relevant field of practice. The application seminar “Evaluation of educational psychological interventions in practice” aims to give students an insight into this professional field and to provide them with the basics for practical work as an evaluator. The focus of the course is on evaluations in the field of education.
The course is divided into three blocks:

- Evidence-based practice: design, implementation and evaluation of interventions
- Evaluation in practice: Development of practical evaluation designs and their implementation
- Planning and designing professional communication processes with stakeholders

In addition to content-related input provided by the lecturer, the teaching methods of the course include reflection and application of the content to practical cases in various didactic formats (e.g. pitches, group discussions, role plays).

Assessment and permitted materials

A portfolio is used to assess individual written performance. The portfolio involves written reflection and elaboration of the course material as well as work on case studies. Moreover, students' participation in class will be included in grading. This refers to constructive participation and engagement in discussion and exercise phases.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

• Attendance is compulsory; if an entire course block is missed, an oral exam must be completed
• Timely submission of the portfolio - To ensure good scientific practice, the course instructor may invite students to a grade-relevant discussion after submission of the portfolio, which must be completed positively.
Points are awarded for the performance components.
• Portfolio: 80 points (given/agreed submission deadline must be adhered to)
• Contribution, engagement in the discussion and exercise phases (constructive, correct contributions and involvement): 20 points
60 points are required for a positive grade in the course.

2 (“Gut”) 89-81 points
3 (“Befriedigend”) 80-71 points
