Curriculum Evaluation or Descriptive Inquiry?

Sawin, Enoch I.

Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2, 1, 41-51, Spr 76

Problems associated with current expertise in evaluation are discussed. Since evaluators are not always able to reliably achieve all levels of an evaluation project, these tasks are categorized into five levels of complexity. The author suggests a more accurate label for evaluators, "descriptive inquiry specialists," and includes guidelines for descriptive inquiry. (GDC)
