LOGIC MODEL ASSIGNMENT (150 POINTS)

Students: Please access and carefully review the “Kellogg Logic Model Guide” via the articles tab in the course menu. CAREFULLY READ the Table of Contents, Introduction, all prefaced material, and all of chapter 1. Select one of the three Logic Models mentioned in Chapter 1 and create an illustrated model (a figure) for an HRD-focused program worthy of evaluation. You may use the contents of a program you have attended if you wish. Or, you may create your own program and illustrate it with a model (a figure). For example, a training program for orientation, coaching, mentoring, leadership, sexual harassment, diversity, safety or any other program that you believe adds value to human resource development in a workplace environment, not an educational setting such as a primary, elementary, or post-secondary institution (college). NOTE: Students must fully understand the definition of evaluation and what evaluation is and is not. I encourage you to review chapter one of Russ-Eft and Preskill (2009) to refresh your memory.

In addition to the above-mentioned, fully address the following assignment criteria:

1. Illustrate your model and position it with an appropriate title and table on page two of your paper.

2. Populate the elements with appropriate items (see page 3 of the Kellogg’s Logic Model guide).

3. On page three, add text material explaining the major elements (i.e., inputs/resources, activities, outputs, outcomes, & impact) you selected for your model and offer some rationale as to why the elements (or constructs) and items within the major elements are important to the model. Refer to each element of the model as you offer explanations and rationale.

This is not a 30-minute assignment. Expect to spend 2-3 hours on this 150-point assignment valued at 15% of your semester grade. The overarching goal of this assignment is to broaden your perspective on what variables should be identified and considered when evaluating an HRD-focused program. Numerous variables influence a program’s outcome.

NOTE: Previous students’ papers for this assignment have ranged from 4-6 pages (single-spaced) with a cover page and References page. In fact, for this assignment I prefer that you use single space.

Finally, PROOF your paper to ensure that you have followed all instructions AND addressed the above-mentioned criteria as would be expected in the workplace assignment and that your sentences are cohesive (connected to your topic) and fully demonstrate the application of textbook material in your evaluation model
