Contemporary Trends in Evaluation Research de Chris L S Coryn

Contemporary Trends in Evaluation Research: SAGE Benchmarks in Social Research Methods

Editat de Chris L S Coryn, Carl Westine
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2015
Evaluation is an essential characteristic of the human condition, and perhaps the single most important and sophisticated cognitive process in the repertoire of human reasoning and logic. Evaluation serves society by providing affirmations of worth, value and improvement to name just a few, and is a process which permeates all areas of human activity, scholarship and production.
 
This work is split into four volumes:
 
Volume One: Contains articles featuring contemporary issues and emerging trends in evaluation
Volume Two: Contains articles highlighting recent theoretical, methodological, and empirical developments in quantitative evaluation designs
Volume Three: Contains a summation of articles on recent developments in qualitative and mixed methods evaluation practice
Volume Four: Contains a synthesis of articles on enduring issues of evaluation training and practice
