Renato Britto Ferreira – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Modern-day educators often share a sense they lack voice and agency with school administration.

What happens if this identical situation occurs at the program…

Skolits, Gary J.; Morrow, Jennifer Ann; Burr, Erin Mehalic – American Journal of Evaluation, 2009
The current evaluation literature tends to conceptualize evaluator roles as a single, overarching orientation toward an evaluation, an orientation largely driven by evaluation methods, models, or stakeholder orientations. Roles identified range from a social transformer or a neutral social scientist to that of an educator or even a power merchant.…

King, Jean A. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2010
The author is increasingly sensitive to the Venn diagram of overlapping expertise in which program evaluation intersects a content area such as public health, urban education, or--in the case of Katherine Hay--international development. Many evaluators practice in these areas of overlap, experts in the evaluation of a specific domain. Given her…

Background: Since the late 1970s participatory approaches have been widely promoted to evaluate international development programs.

Owen, John M. – Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation, 2010
This article describes an evaluation that was judged to be unsuccessful from the point of view of key program stakeholders. This was due to the fact that the evaluation did not support program advocates who had much to gain from positive evaluation findings. We argue that, although the knowledge needs of stakeholders must be taken into account,…

The use of theory-driven evaluation is an emerging practice in the military--an aspect generally unknown in the civilian evaluation community.
