Evaluation for the 21st Century: A HandbookEleanor Chelimsky, William R. Shadish SAGE, 1997 M01 28 - 542 pages What methodological tools have been most useful in doing evaluations? What are some of the new methodologies that are being used and developed? Will the type of things evaluated expand from programmes, personnel and products to foreign aid, medical technology, environmental interventions and World Bank loan programmes? What will evaluation be like in the 21st century? A group of renowned evaluators explores these questions to explain how evaluation has come to be what it is today, and to explore what the likely outcomes are for evaluation in the future. |
