摘要
Program evaluation is systematically answering empirical questions concerning the functioning of a program. For a long time, the central issue in program evaluation was assessment of the value of a program, using experimental methods (the classical view). In the more modern view, program evaluation entails the collection of multiple data on a program, using any appropriate research method. The information that is collected can be used for a variety of purposes. We will first describe some limitations of the classical view of program evaluation, and then the more modern view. We will discuss various types of evaluation, including five types of process evaluation, four types of product evaluation and three mixed types of evaluation. © 1997 Human Sciences Press, Inc.
