| Sumario: | Evaluation Research introduces the reader to the fundamental principles of evaluation by demonstrating how a wide variety of social research methods can be applied in different evaluation contexts in imaginative and creative ways. Using examples from diverse evaluation settings, the strengths and weaknesses of the methods are also explained. Key themes discussed are: · What distinguishes evaluation research from other types of social research activity? · The contribution both quantitative and qualitative methods can make to evaluation. · Methods of data collection. · An introduction to evaluation research that stresses the important part played by theory in the evaluation process. · An introduction for the would-be evaluator to some of the conceptual, methodological and practical problems encountered when undertaking this type of applied research. Evaluation Research is designed to enable social science students and professional researchers to undertake thoughtful and effective evaluation studies, especially in the fields of criminology, health and education. It will provide an ideal introduction for both undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in social research methods and applied social science |
