Beschreibung
Effective evaluation can provide valuable insights into the way a program, a course or an organisation is being run, as well as direction for improvement. This widely-used introduction to evaluation is intended for non-specialists in the human-centred services who need to do evaluation as part of a busy workload.
Everyday Evaluation on the Run offers a practical over view of the main approaches to evaluation, strategies for involving stakeholders, and the evaluation industry's toolbox of models and techniques. The author emphasises the core principles and concepts of evaluation, and the idea of building a culture of evaluation. This fourth edition of Everyday Evaluation on the Run reflects current thinking on values in organisations, relational ethics and the need to use evaluation to guide future practice rather than just as an auditing process.
With extensive examples, it is a handy reference for professionals and students in health, welfare, adult education and community work, and in government and non-profit agencies.
