- critically appraise selected features of program design and implementation;
- distinguish among, and provide a rationale, for adopting a variety of program planning approaches and program evaluation methods;
- locate program design within its broader organisation and management context;
- determine the most appropriate evaluation method for a given evaluation purpose and begin to translate evaluation ‘theory’ into evaluation ‘practice’; and
- demonstrate base skills in developing a program design plan and/or a program evaluation plan.
