The program evaluation is defined as a systematic research process, which provides reliable scientific information to make decisions on the interventions that take place in a specific social context. The seminar on program and project evaluation offered by the Psychology Department has been designed in order for graduate students to: a) recognize program evaluation as one of the application fields in psychosocial research, b) learn the main conceptual and methodological elements on program evaluation, c) develop skills to execute processes for planning and evaluation of social programs in a rigorous and systematic manner.
