PART ONE; RESEARCH, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION
The question of WHY is what separates the wise from
the foolish, and this is why it is necessary to carry out research, to answer a
particular question, and to understand observations. Research should be;
- Objective
-
Methodical and
-
Systematic.
Research can be of three types; quantitative in which one measures the what, qualitative in which one tries to find out why, or mixed methods in which the researchers want to know both the what and the why. It is only when you ask yourself the question WHY that you can start on the research journey. The research done must be scientific and fact-filled to avoid misleading information.
When the research process is over, it is important to
share the information to give back through knowledge sharing. In this,
monitoring and evaluation are crucial as the researcher needs to find out the
impact and obtain feedback about the research. This helps both the audience and
the researcher to know what went well and whether the research was beneficial
or not. Evaluation is also important to know how the treatment is proceeding
and if the research was a success.
Peer educators can educate their peers through research,
monitoring, and evaluation.
