Teasdale, Rebecca M.; McNeilly, Jennifer R.; Garzón, Maria Isabel Ramírez; Novak, Judit; Greene, Jennifer C. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2023
This study challenges persistent misrepresentations of evaluation as a value-neutral inquiry process by presenting an empirical study that deepens understanding of evaluators' values and how they "show up" in evaluation practice. Through semistructured interviews and inductive analysis, we examined the values advanced by a sample of…

Stonewall, Jacklin H. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The use of teams and team-centric pedagogies such as Team Based Learning (TBL) in classrooms has been shown to increase engagement and lead to better overall learning outcomes. Because of these positive outcomes, the use of teams is recommended in many educational fields, including engineering. For many instructors, especially those using teams,…

Bloch, Roland; Hartl, Jakob; O'Connell, Catherine; O'Siochru, Cathal – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2022
Many contemporary analyses criticise metrics-based evaluation in the higher education context as a neoliberal technology, notwithstanding the different national contexts and organisational topographies in which metrics are used. This Anglo-German study offers a comparative exploration of the role of metrics in two contrasting cases: highly…

Archer, Nathan – Global Studies of Childhood, 2017
In 2015, the British government implemented a national Baseline Assessment policy for children at the start of their Reception Year (aged 4-5 years) in England.

Pratt, Nick; Alderton, Julie – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2019
This article considers a recent policy initiative in assessment in English primary schools (ages 5-11 years) in which curriculum 'levels' used by teachers to judge pupils' attainment were suddenly removed. Previous work has largely focused on assessment of pupils, but we examine assessment as an activity through which teachers reproduce their…

Deciding whether and how to use assessments to evaluate students' social and emotional (SE) knowledge, attitudes, and skills requires the development and critical appraisal of an assessment plan. At the state, district, and school levels, education leaders and staff can benefit from reviewing best practices and using a structured format to arrive…

American Institutes for Research, 2015
Education in the 21st century is awakening to a call for students who are not only proficient with academic content but who also have developed the social and emotional (SE) knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are necessary for success in college and careers. This brief refers to that combination of knowledge, attitudes, and skills as SE…

American Institutes for Research, 2015
Assessing individuals' social and emotional (SE) knowledge, attitudes, and skills is a complex task. It requires careful consideration of the assessment purpose, rigor, practicality, burden, and ethics. Once you have considered these factors and have determined that you are, in fact, "Ready to Assess," you are ready to act and choose an…

Beets, Peter A. D. – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2012
While assessment is regarded as integral to enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, it is also a practice fraught with moral and ethical issues. An analysis is made of current assessment practices of teachers in South Africa which seem to straddle the domains of accountability and professional codes of conduct. In the process the position…

Bakker, Steven – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2012
A particular trait of the educational system under socialist reign was accountability at the input side--appropriate facilities, centrally decided curriculum, approved text-books, and uniformly trained teachers--but no control on the output. It was simply assumed that it met the agreed standards, which was, in turn, proven by the statistics…

Cooksy, Leslie J. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2006
This issue's scenario, To Participate or Not to Participate, describes an evaluator's shift in method from nonparticipant to participant observation. Although evaluation theorists differ on the extent to which methods decisions are ethical decisions (Morris, 1998), neither of the two commentators considers the methodological decision problematic;…

Sieber, Joan E.; Sanders, Nancy – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1978
The evaluator must begin with a clear understanding of roles, issues, and risks in order to minimize the pressures and occurrence of ethical conflicts in program evaluation. A list of such issues is included in this review of TM 503 780. (CTM)

Gorcyca, Diane Atkinson – 1994
Noting that "one-third of all graduates of university public relations programs go to work for non-profit organizations" (Kelly, 1993), this paper focuses on the issues of accountability and assessment faced by nonprofit organizations with corresponding methods of evaluation. First, the paper demonstrates the extent of nonprofit…
