Random errors Inconsistent values Cause by unknown and unpredictable changes in the ****Examples of causes of random errors are: • electronic noise in the circuit of an electrical instrument, • irregular changes in the heat loss rate from a solar collector due to changes in the wind.
errors in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measures of a constant attribute or quantity are taken. Systematic errors are errors that are not determined by chance but are introduced by an inaccuracy (as of observation or measurement) inherent in the system. Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment. These changes may occur in the measuring instruments or in the environmental conditions.

Background of deinstitutionalization and creation of Nani
During the 1970's and before, serious mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, was viewed with considerable ignorance, shame and guilt by the public and even those who suffered quietly from its effects. Parents and family were often viewed as the cause of their child's illness rather than its solution. Professional psychiatrists and psychologists had primary responsibility for diagnosis and treatment. Parents and families had little say in the care and treatment of their family member. Individuals with serious mental illness were generally locked away in dilapidated and deteriorating institutions for months and years on end. The advent of new drugs in the 1950's and 1960's made it possible for the first time in history for seriously mentally ill individuals to function on their own in the society. These new medications provided an essential ingredient for a new approach to serious mental illness in California that would emphasize community based care." http://www.namica.org/

Individuals who are emotionally fragile or unable to tolerate aggressive or hostile comments from other members are at risk of dropping out, as are those who have trouble communicating in a group setting. If the therapist does not support them and help reduce their sense of isolation and aloneness, they may drop out and feel like failures. The group can be injured by the premature departure of any of its members, and it is up to the therapist to minimize the likelihood of this occurrence by careful selection and management of the group process.

Privately administered and philanthropically funded organizations that were the essential forerunners of modern social services agencies. The first COS was established in London in 1869. The first American COS was in Buffalo, New York, in 1877 and was duplicated in larger eastern cities soon thereafter. COSs were staffed by volunteer workers who provided direct services to clients and coordinated community efforts to deal with social problems. As more COS workers, sometimes known as friendly visitors, gradually became professionalized, they were called social workers. By the 1930s, as government assumed more responsibility for people's economic and social security, the original COS goal was reached; thus, most of the organizations suspended their operations or merged with other social agencies.

PIAGET'S COGNITIVE THEORY
Sensorimotor Stage: (birth to about age 2) ●During this stage, the child learns about her/himself and her environment through motor and reflex actions. Thought derives from sensation and movement. ●Children learn that they can get pleasurable results by performing certain actions ●Child's preoccupation begins to shift from self to the outside world ●Major accomplishment is object permanence: The child learns that she is separate from her environment and that aspects of her environment -- her parents or favorite toys -- continue to exist even though they may be outside the reach of his senses. ●By the end of this stage, a child can retain images of objects and or words for objects in their minds ●Preoperational: 2 years -7 years (begins about the time the child starts to talk) ●Applying his new knowledge of language, the child begins to use symbols to represent objects. Early in this stage he also personifies objects. He is now better able to think about things and events that aren't immediately present. ●Oriented to the present, the child has difficulty conceptualizing time. ●His thinking is influenced by fantasy -- the way he'd like things to be -- and he assumes that others see situations from his viewpoint. Concrete Operations 7 to 11 years (about first grade to early adolescence) ●The child develops an ability to think abstractly and to make rational judgments about concrete or observable phenomena, which in the past he needed to manipulate physically to understand. ●Children become more adept at understanding events/phenomena from the perspective of others ●Children learn to effectively use symbols to represent objects & events in the real world which facilitates their ability to do math & use language Formal Operations Ages 11 to 16 years (adolescence) ●This stage brings cognition to its final form. This person no longer requires concrete objects to make rational judgments. ●Engage in abstract thinking ●Consider multiple aspects of an object or an event at one time ●At this point, he is capable of hypothetical and deductive reasoning.

Subjective evaluation
Some jobs cannot be easily measured. Data analysts, attorneys and dolphin trainers each perform a job that is difficult to distill into a few discrete metrics. Therefore, employers will determine categories of measurement--for example, customer service or teamwork or professionalism. Supervisors typically offer a numeric score that represents the employee's perceived performance in that category, but the question of whether a specific rating is "correct" is primarily a matter of interpretation. Strengths and weakness Subjective measures are very good at allowing a supervisor to exercise judgment about an employee's performance in complicated systems. However, if the employer/employee relationship is sour, employees may see a negative rating as either punitive or unfair.

The major purpose of settlement houses was to help to assimilate and ease the transition of immigrants into the labor force by teaching them middle-class American values. In Chicago, for instance, Hull-House helped to educate immigrants by providing classes in history, art, and literature. Hull-House also provided social services to reduce the effects of poverty, including a daycare center, homeless shelter, public kitchen, and public baths. Settlement houses like Hull-House were a nexus for political activism, with reformers like Jane Addams becoming involved in advocating social legislation to combat poverty in local, state, and national politics.

Crude birth rate Take total number of deaths then divide it by a number Does nit account age in sex differences
are determined by taking the total number of births or deaths in a population and dividing both values by a number to obtain the rate per 10000. The Crude Birth Rate is called "crude" because it does not take into account age or sex differences among the population. In our hypothetical country, the rate is 15 births for every 1000 people but the likelihood is that around 500 of those 1000 people are men and of the 500 who are women, only a certain percentage are capable of giving birth in a given year.
Formative evaluations
are employed to adjust and enhance interventions. They are not used to prove whether a program is worth the funding it receives but serves more to guide and direct programs—particularly new programs.

Systematic errors ** consistent errors Flaw in equipment Easier to Correct Occurs when measuring instrument has a zero Examples • Offset or zero setting error in which the instrument does not read zero when the quantity to be measured is zero. • Multiplier or scale factor error in which the instrument consistently reads changes in the quantity to be measured greater or less than the actual changes. Reads greater or less than actual changes
are errors associated with a flaw in the equipment or in the design of the experiment. Systematic ... systematic errors are easier to correct. There are many types of systematic errors and a researcher needs to be aware of these in order to offset their influence. Systematic error in physical sciences commonly occurs with the measuring instrument having a zero error. A zero error is when the initial value shown by the measuring instrument is a non-zero value when it should be zero.

In modern Western societies, stratification is often broadly divided into three main divisions of social class: upper class, middle class, and lower class
Continuous variable Any value is possible Example • Suppose the fire department mandates that all fire fighters must weigh between 150 and 250 pounds. The weight of a fire fighter would be an example of a continuous variable; since a fire fighter's weight could take on any value between 150 and 250 pounds.
is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible. For example, the variable "Time to solve an anagram problem" is continuous since it could take 2 minutes, 2.13 minutes etc. to finish a problem. The variable "Number of correct answers on a 100 point multiple-choice test" is not a continuous variable since it is not possible to get 54.12 problems correct. A variable that is not continuous is called "discrete".
Convince sample
is one of the main types of non-probability sampling methods. A convenience sample is made up of people who are easy to reach. Consider the following example. A pollster interviews shoppers at a local mall. If the mall was chosen because it was a convenient site from which to solicit survey participants and/or because it was close to the pollster's home or business, this would be a convenience sample.
Discrete variable Limits of the variables Examples • Race • Sex • Number of days absent from work • Number of people in household • Number of times incarcerated • Suppose we flip a coin and count the number of heads. The number of heads could be any integer value between 0 and plus infinity. However, it could not be any number between 0 and plus infinity. We could not, for example, get 2.5 heads. Therefore, the number of heads must be a discrete variable.
is one that cannot take on all values within the limits of the variable. For example, responses to a five-point rating scale can only take on the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The variable cannot have the value 1.7.

Objective evaluation
typically defies interpretation: Either an employee was late five times or she wasn't, or he met his widgets-per-hour target or he didn't. For that reason, some employers use purely objective measures for employees who have repetitive or entry-level jobs--performance is a function of doing (or not doing) some specific action, or in meeting per-product or per-service productivity totals. ( strengths and weakness Objective measures work best in situations where each employee can be assessed directly and each employee's performance can be meaningfully compared to another employee. For example, it is inappropriate to give part-time and full-time employees the same total-parts-per-month score. However, objective measures fail when supervisors distill complex processes into a single score that may not have much meaning in the real world. For example, attorneys should not be measured on the quantity of legal briefs they file each month.
Nominal scales No quantitative value Labels
used for labeling variables, without any quantitative value. "Nominal" scales could simply be called "labels." Here are some examples, below. Notice that all of these scales are mutually exclusive (no overlap) and none of them have any numerical significance. A good way to remember all of this is that "nominal" sounds a lot like "name" and nominal scales are kind of like "names" or labels.

Process evaluation Sponsors want to know what was learned Information could be valuable to other communities Determine if failure was due to poor program intervention or because problematic
●Process evaluations are typically required for research and demonstration projects because sponsors want to know what was learned during the implementation of the project. ●Such information could be valuable to other communities considering whether to start such a program. ●In addition, process evaluation can help determine whether the "failure" of a program was due to a poor program or poor intervention, or if it was because implementation of the program was problematic
Program monitoring (continue )
●Program monitoring is a basic form of program evaluation ●Often program monitoring starts with examining a program's specific goals and objectives and comparing these with the kind of data that most human service agencies routinely collect. ●These data are "monitored" to ensure that the program is serving those for whom it was designed.

Being a program moniter Deciding what's important to count ( events , products , activities ) -should be though as routine activity Routine monitoring stops major problems before they come a problem
●The first step in program monitoring consists of deciding what program products, events, or activities are important enough to count. Not every activity associated with a program is important enough to monitor. ●It may not be important to count the number of times that calls are placed.
