What is Evaluation ? • The utilization of scientific research methods and techniques (Suchman 1967: 7) • Assists sensemaking about policies and programs through the conduct of systematic inquiry that describes and explains the policies’ and programs’ operations, effects, justifications, and social implications (Mark et al. 2000: 3) Evaluation Theory & Program Theory
What is Evaluation ? • Program evaluation is the use of social research procedures to systematically investigate the effectiveness of social intervention programs that is (sic) adapted to their political and organizational environments and designed to inform social action in ways to improve social conditions (Rossi et al. 1999: 20) • Evaluation is the systematic assessment of the operation and/or the outcomes of program or policy, compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a means of contributing to the improvement of the program or policy(Weiss 1998: 4) Evaluation Theory & Program Theory
