Niemiec, Richard P., Ed.; Walberg, Herbert J., Ed. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1992
The five articles of this special section show that evaluations of corporate education range from state of the art to poorly conceived evaluation research. Several of the efforts reported here incorporate efficient and exemplary use of modern evaluation concepts and techniques and can serve as examples for future evaluations. (SLD)

Kamis-Gould, Edna; And Others – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1991
Three studies are presented, which illustrate situations in which researchers and funders agreed on the primacy of either the experimental or pragmatic paradigms but acknowledged a role for the other. The studies involved evaluations of mental health care, information systems, and a curriculum for behavioral and academic dysfunction. (SLD)
