Now in its second edition, Evaluation Theory, Models, and
Applications is the vital text on evaluation models, perfect
for classroom use as a textbook, and as a professional evaluation
reference. The book begins with an overview of the evaluation field
and program evaluation standards, and proceeds to cover the most
widely used evaluation approaches. With new evaluation designs and
the inclusion of the latest literature from the field, this
Second Edition is an essential update for professionals and
students who want to stay current. Understanding and choosing
evaluation approaches is critical to many professions, and
Evaluation Theory, Models, and Applications, Second Edition
is the benchmark evaluation guide.
Authors Daniel L. Stufflebeam and Chris L. S. Coryn, widely
considered experts in the evaluation field, introduce and describe
23 program evaluation approaches, including, new to this edition,
transformative evaluation, participatory evaluation, consumer
feedback, and meta-analysis. Evaluation Theory, Models, and
Applications, Second Edition facilitates the process of
planning, conducting, and assessing program evaluations. The
highlighted evaluation approaches include:
Experimental and quasi-experimental design evaluations
