Evaluation of a proposed minimum path impotence in NS2
Evaluation of a proposed minimum path impotence in NS2
Abstract:
In entering a new millennium, it is a good time for evaluators to critically appraise their program evaluation approaches and decide which ones are most worthy of continued application and further development. It is equally important to decide which approaches are best abandoned. In this spirit, this monograph identifies and
assesses twenty-two approaches often employed to evaluate programs. These approaches, in varying degrees, are unique and cover most program evaluation efforts. Two of the approaches, reflecting the political realities of evaluation, are often used illegitimately to falsely characterize a program’s value and are labeled pseudoevaluations. The remaining twenty approaches are typically used legitimately to judge programs and are
divided into questions/methods-oriented approaches, improvement/accountability approaches, and social
agenda/advocacy approaches.
