Stakeholder values regarding a programme’s worth and their own principles or standards can aid or impede an evaluation. The evaluator’s challenge and responsibility is to successfully engage multiple stakeholder value orientations in the evaluation process. Stakeholder engagement is essential within evaluations of programmes aimed at broadening participation of underrepresented individuals and institutions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This article describes an educative approach to engage stakeholder values within evaluations of STEM research and education programmes funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Reflections and implications for evaluation theory and practice applicable to any STEM evaluation context, and more broadly to the field of evaluation, are discussed.
利益相关者关于项目价值的价值观和他们自己的原则或标准可以帮助或阻碍评估。评估者的挑战和责任是在评估过程中成功地参与多个利益相关者的价值取向。在评估旨在扩大代表性不足的个人和机构参与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的方案时,利益攸关方的参与至关重要。本文描述了一种在美国国家科学基金会(NSF)资助的STEM研究和教育项目评估中纳入利益相关者价值观的教育方法。讨论了适用于任何STEM评估背景的评估理论和实践的反思和影响,并更广泛地讨论了评估领域。

Monitoring and Evaluation discourse in Africa has evolved to focus on building systems at a national level. While this systemic approach has many advantages, its implementation often runs up against the uncomfortable reality that governments have complex incentives to use evidence, and this evidence can equally contribute to decision making that is neither development-focused nor democratic if values are not part of the conversation. Much of the literature on public-sector reform focuses on evidence-based policy making. While relevant, it does not reflect on values, and this article will argue that acknowledging the central role values play in interpreting evidence is critical to effective national evaluation system building. To make this argument, this article will present and discuss vignettes from the parliaments of Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe that illustrate the pivotal role values have played in interpreting and acting on evidence in a parliamentary context. Finally, it makes a case for the discourse about evidence-based policy making to consider values-based policy making as an appropriate lens for parliaments to acknowledge and engage with the complex landscape of the politics of evidence.
非洲的监测和评价讨论已演变为侧重于建立国家一级的系统。虽然这种系统性方法有很多优点,但它的实施往往会遇到一个令人不安的现实,即政府有复杂的动机来使用证据,如果价值观不在对话中,这些证据同样有助于做出既不注重发展也不民主的决策。许多关于公共部门改革的文献都侧重于循证政策制定。虽然相关,但它并没有反映价值观,本文将认为,承认价值观在解释证据方面发挥的核心作用对于有效的国家评估体系建设至关重要。为了提出这一论点,本文将介绍和讨论马拉维、坦桑尼亚、乌干达、赞比亚和津巴布韦议会的小插曲,这些小插曲说明了价值观在议会背景下解释和处理证据方面发挥的关键作用。最后,它为关于循证政策制定的讨论提供了一个理由,即将基于价值观的政策制定视为议会承认和参与证据政治的复杂景观的适当视角。

Exploring values in evaluation: A guide to reading 探索评估中的价值观:阅读指南
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-05-04 DOI: 10.1177/1035719X20915805

In this reading guide, I suggest a range of books for evaluators seeking to learn about values and incorporate values in evaluation. Some are practical, others are philosophical and theoretical, and some blend theory and practice. Learning about values in evaluation is not like learning a new technique or method. It requires an understanding of what values are, how they are enacted in society, and how to think critically about values at all points through an evaluation. Values, and their proper role in social science, have been debated for more than a century. Although many evaluators may reject the idea of value-free social science, ambivalence about values is embedded in social science practice. Learning about values, and working with values in evaluation, may first require unlearning older ideas about values and rethinking evaluation theories and practices informed by a contemporary understanding of values and their role in evaluative judgement. First in the list are books that explain the history of values in social science and provide new ways of thinking about values. Within the evaluation literature, there are books rethinking the role of values in evaluation, evaluation approaches guided by values, and practical guides to evaluation that include explicit discussion of values. Outside the evaluation field, there is practical and theoretical literature relevant to our challenges in evaluation. Evaluators can learn about methods for discussing and negotiating values from the literature on deliberative practice. The values-based practice movement in health and social care has resources that are relevant to evaluators, not just in health care contexts. In public administration and public policy, there is a growing literature on public values, seeking to understand the values that represent the broad public welfare in a democracy.
在这篇阅读指南中,我推荐了一系列书籍,供评估者学习价值并将价值纳入评估。有些是实践性的,有些是哲学和理论性的,还有一些是理论和实践的结合。学习评估中的价值并不像学习一种新的技术或方法。它需要理解价值观是什么,它们是如何在社会中实施的,以及如何通过评估在各个方面批判性地思考价值观。价值观及其在社会科学中的正确作用,已经争论了一个多世纪。虽然许多评估者可能会拒绝价值自由的社会科学的想法,但关于价值的矛盾心理是嵌入在社会科学实践中的。学习价值观,并在评估中使用价值观,可能首先需要摒弃关于价值观的旧观念,重新思考评估理论和实践,这些理论和实践是由当代对价值观的理解及其在评估判断中的作用所决定的。首先是解释社会科学中价值观的历史,并提供思考价值观的新方法的书籍。在评估文献中,有一些书重新思考价值观在评估中的作用,由价值观指导的评估方法,以及包括明确讨论价值观的评估实用指南。在评估领域之外,有与我们在评估中面临的挑战相关的实践和理论文献。评价者可以从审议实践的文献中学习讨论和协商价值的方法。卫生和社会保健方面基于价值的实践运动拥有与评估人员相关的资源,而不仅仅是在卫生保健方面。在公共行政和公共政策方面,有越来越多的关于公共价值观的文献,试图理解在民主国家中代表广泛公共福利的价值观。

Many recent policy documents have outlined the challenges of delivering high-quality education in remote First Nations communities and proposed that boarding schools are one important solution. These documents have influenced the increasing uptake of boarding options and there has been considerable public investment in scholarships, residential facilities and transition support. Yet the outcomes of this investment and policy effort are not well understood. The authors of this article came together as a collaboration of researchers who have published about boarding school education for First Nations students to examine the evidence and develop a theory-driven understanding of how policies drive systems to produce both desirable and undesirable outcomes for First Nations boarding school students. We applied complexity theory and post-structural policy analysis techniques and produced a useful tool for the evaluation of boarding policy and its implementation.
最近的许多政策文件概述了在偏远的原住民社区提供高质量教育的挑战,并提出寄宿学校是一个重要的解决方案。这些文件影响了越来越多的寄宿选择,并在奖学金、住宿设施和过渡支持方面进行了大量公共投资。然而,这种投资和政策努力的结果还没有得到很好的理解。这篇文章的作者是由发表了关于原住民寄宿学校教育的研究人员合作撰写的,他们研究了证据,并对政策如何推动系统为原住民寄宿学校学生产生理想和不理想的结果形成了理论驱动的理解。我们应用了复杂性理论和后结构政策分析技术,为评估寄宿政策及其实施提供了一个有用的工具。

The Aboriginal Family Planning Circle (AFPC) programme is an Aboriginal-led community programme, which works with Aboriginal families in Western Sydney to address their complex needs and reduce the risk of having their children put into out-of-home care (OOHC). This article explores two external evaluations undertaken by WESTIR Limited (WESTIR), a non-Aboriginal research service, on the AFPC programme. The purpose of the first evaluation was to provide an assessment of how effective the AFPC programme had been for participants and identify programme aspects that could be improved or developed. The second evaluation was undertaken to examine whether the AFPC programme had continued to meet its objectives and address some knowledge gaps, particularly the estimated savings and return on investment that the programme created for the OOHC system in New South Wales (NSW). The evaluations used qualitative and quantitative techniques, including interviews, focus groups and a return on investment analysis. This article outlines methods, results and recommendations from both evaluations, along with lessons learned to better inform evaluation practice. This case study shows that culturally responsive evaluations can provide an avenue for Aboriginal communities to advocate for the continued funding of their programmes. It also emphasises the need to adequately resource Aboriginal programme evaluations in the community services sector now and in the future.
土著家庭计划圈(AFPC)项目是一个由土著居民主导的社区项目,它与西悉尼的土著家庭合作,解决他们的复杂需求,降低他们的孩子被送到家庭外护理(OOHC)的风险。本文探讨了由非土著研究机构WESTIR有限公司(WESTIR)对AFPC计划进行的两项外部评估。第一次评价的目的是评估非洲方案方案对参与者的有效性,并确定可以改进或发展的方案方面。第二次评估是为了检查AFPC方案是否继续实现其目标并解决一些知识差距,特别是该方案为新南威尔士州OOHC系统创造的估计节省和投资回报。评价使用了定性和定量技术,包括面谈、焦点小组和投资回报分析。本文概述了两种评估的方法、结果和建议,以及为更好地告知评估实践而吸取的经验教训。这一个案研究表明,对文化作出反应的评价可以为土著社区提供一个途径,以倡导继续为其方案提供资金。它还强调必须在现在和将来为社区服务部门的土著方案评价提供充分的资源。

This article shares lessons learned while evaluating the implementation of a Clinical and Translational Research Centre (CTR). To meet its overarching goals, the CTR consists of numerous research support units (e.g., biostatistics, community engagement, professional development) that are intended to work together collaboratively. It is then argued that an evaluation approach grounded in system thinking was the best fit to evaluate this key CTR design feature. The rationale for selecting systems evaluation theory (SET) as the evaluation framework best suited to evaluate the CTR infrastructure is then presented. The application of SET and the lessons learned are then shared. This article concludes that there are many similarly structured programmes worldwide to which the lessons learned can be applied and upfront investments in using a system approach are rewarded by providing meaningful and useful evaluation recommendations for system change.
本文在评价临床与转化研究中心(CTR)的实施过程中分享了经验教训。为了实现其总体目标,CTR由众多研究支持单位(例如,生物统计,社区参与,专业发展等)组成,旨在协同工作。然后认为,基于系统思维的评估方法最适合评估这一关键的CTR设计特征。然后提出了选择系统评估理论(SET)作为最适合评估CTR基础设施的评估框架的基本原理。然后分享SET的应用和吸取的经验教训。这篇论文的结论是,世界上有许多类似的结构化项目,可以将吸取的经验教训应用到这些项目中,并且使用系统方法的前期投资通过为系统变更提供有意义和有用的评估建议而得到回报。

Writing in 2001 in the American Journal of Evaluation, Ernest House suggested a key piece of ‘unfinished business’ in evaluation should be reconfigured – the fact/value dichotomy (House, 2001). This special issue of the Evaluation Journal of Australasia revisits aspects of this ‘unfinished business’, centring on this and other matters of ‘values’ further investigated by various theorists (Gates, 2018; Hall et al., 2012; Henry, 2002; House & Howe, 1999; Renger & Bourdeau, 2004). Authors in this special issue tackle difficult and intricate philosophical challenges relating to ‘valuing’ and ‘values’ in evaluation, as well as implications for practising evaluators. This issue does not lay out a singular definition of ‘values’ in evaluation. As others have noted, the concept of values has been explored in various disciplines – economics, philosophy, psychology, sociology and biology – ranging from concepts of ‘value’ as a product that is exchanged (e.g., for money); as functional or having utility; as culturally defined; deriving from scarcity or competition; an aesthetic which is relative or subjective; deriving from ethical choices; and so on. Indeed, there may be some utility in aspects of these approaches for evaluators, as posited by authors in this issue. So why does reflecting on ‘values’ matter for evaluators? How might we understand ‘values’ in appraising aspects of health, education or other social programmes, for example? And how might we understand ‘values’ in subjective concepts such as ‘wellbeing’? The significance of values to practitioners is a key area of investigation in this special issue. Authors were invited to present differing applications of ‘values’ in their own evaluative thinking and practice. Readers and evaluators are similarly encouraged to reflect on how values shape your thinking about evaluation and what values shape your evaluative practice. Judgements about value may assign ‘importance’: in what we focus on or exclude, through selection decisions (or biases), prioritisation of issues, privileging of some perspectives over others, and measurement choices. Values influence practice – from the evaluative questions we ask, the theories of change we consider, the objectives we aim for, the programme logics we develop, the methods we choose, the practices we employ, the stakeholders we identify, the views we gather, the findings we deem credible or significant and so on. The inspiration for this special issue came out of the Australian Evaluation Society’s 2018 conference and ensuing discussions, where the issue guest editors – Keryn, Mathea, Kelly and Amy – presented on topics relating to ‘values’.

2001年,欧内斯特·豪斯在《美国评估杂志》上撰文,建议重新配置评估中“未完成的任务”的一个关键部分——事实/价值二分法(House,2001)。《澳大拉西亚评估杂志》的这期特刊重新审视了这一“未完成的事业”的各个方面,重点是这一问题和其他由各种理论家进一步调查的“价值观”问题(Gates,2018;Hall等人,2012年;亨利,2002年;豪斯和豪,1999年;伦格和布尔多,2004年)。本期特刊的作者解决了与评估中的“价值”和“价值观”相关的困难和复杂的哲学挑战,以及对实践评估者的启示。这个问题并没有对评估中的“价值观”做出单一的定义。正如其他人所指出的,价值观的概念已经在经济学、哲学、心理学、社会学和生物学等多个学科中得到了探索,从“价值”作为一种交换产品(如货币)的概念;作为功能性的或具有实用性的;按照文化定义;源自稀缺或竞争;一种相对的或主观的美学;源自道德选择;事实上,正如作者在本期文章中所提出的那样,这些方法在某些方面可能对评估者有用。那么,为什么反思“价值观”对评估者来说很重要呢?例如,我们如何理解评估健康、教育或其他社会计划方面的“价值观”?我们如何理解“幸福”等主观概念中的“价值观”?价值观对从业者的意义是本期特刊的一个关键研究领域。作者被邀请在他们自己的评价思维和实践中展示“价值观”的不同应用。同样鼓励读者和评估者反思价值观如何塑造你的评估思维,以及什么价值观塑造你的评价实践。对价值的判断可能会赋予“重要性”:通过选择决策(或偏见)、问题的优先顺序、某些观点对其他观点的优先权以及衡量选择,我们关注或排除的内容。价值观影响实践——从我们提出的评估问题、我们考虑的变革理论、我们的目标、我们制定的计划逻辑、我们选择的方法、我们采用的实践、我们确定的利益相关者、我们收集的观点、我们认为可信或重要的发现等等。本期特刊的灵感来自澳大利亚评估协会2018年的会议和随后的讨论,本期客座编辑Keryn、Mathea、Kelly和Amy就“价值观”相关主题进行了介绍。895150 EVJ0010.1177/1035719X19895150澳大利亚评估杂志X(X)Gould编辑2019特刊
