Ready for Causal Research: A National Evaluability Assessment of Career and Technical Education Programs (Final Report)
Hughes, Katherine L.; Miller, Trey; Reese, Kelly
Grantee Submission
This report from the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Research Network Lead team provides final results from an evaluability assessment of CTE programs that feasibly could be evaluated using a rigorous experimental design. Evaluability assessments (also called feasibility studies) are used in education and other fields, such as international development and health care, and seek to determine whether a program or activity can be reliably evaluated. The report provides an overview of CTE and a brief summary of the existing research literature, a description of the method and criteria used to identify CTE sites for further study as well as the characteristics of each site, and a discussion of the factors that can facilitate or hinder causal research in CTE. Finally, the report describes the four CTE programs that the team identified as most immediately viable for causal research. The Institute of Education Sciences has funded an evaluation of one of these programs. The following are appended: (1) Overview of Evaluability Study Steps and Timeline; (2) Overview of CTE Programs That Participated in the Study; (3) Summary of CTE Programs That Participated in the Step 3 Interviews for This Study.
