This report is a summary of an internship I performed with the Ohio Evaluation & Assessment Center from March 2005 through July 2005. The Center is a semi-independent organization based at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and conducts evaluations of education research studies. I begin this report by discussinng the Center's purpose and organizational structure, as well as my internship role. I also describe the major projects on which I worked and outline the tasks that each project required. In general, such tasks included writing, editing, and formatting evaluation reports; data analysis; and information design. To give readers an in-depth understanding of my work and the types of evaluation reports produced by the Center, I describe in detail one of these projects: the Ohio State University Teacher Quality study. Finally, I discuss my internship experience from the perspective of a telecommuter and outline several aspects of working within a research-oriented organization. |
