Evaluation in the Context of Policymaking: Comments on E. Chelimsky's "Politics of Program Evaluation."

Glasman, Naftaly S.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v9 n3 p215-17 Fall 1987

Chelimsky's five-part continuum--a model for the practice of evaluation in a political context--is reviewed. The model's conceptual framework and a question for education are discussed. By focusing on interactions between evaluators and policy actors, this model should prompt debates about unsettled issues in education policy making. (SLD)
