Logic Modeling

Abstract

Continuing the discussion of logic models in social work education, this article describes logic modeling as a tool for teaching evaluation skills in practice, research, and policy courses. Because logic models break down an intervention or program into parts, they inform evaluators about the kind of results and evaluation data available. This allows for an evaluation plan that deals effectively with a multisystemic project and works efficiently when time and money are limited. Three different evaluation approaches are considered-resource, process, and outcome-and the two case examples from the previous article are carried over in the discussion.
