Mark, Melvin M. (Author). Henry, Gary T. (Added Author). Julnes, George, 1954- (Added Author).

Summary:

Presents a theory of evaluation as assisted sense-making, with social betterment as its ultimate objective. Mark (psychology, Pennsylvania State U.) and two co-authors analyze four purposes of evaluation: to review the merit of programs and their value to society, to improve the organization and its services, to ensure program compliance with mandates, and to build knowledge and expertise for future programs. One chapter is devoted to each of four key modes of inquiry: description, classification, causal analysis, and values inquiry. Note: the publisher has changed the subtitle; some copies show the old subtitle: Improving public and nonprofit policies and programs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
