Early Childhood Evaluation: What? Who? Why?

Sponseller, Doris Bergen; Fink, Joel

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v8 n3 p209-14 1982

Three basic questions about early childhood evaluation are raised: (1) what is to be evaluated, including a discussion of product versus process evaluations; (2) who is to do the evaluating, including comments on external versus staff evaluations; and (3) for what purpose is the evaluation to be conducted, including a discussion of summative versus formative evaluations.
