Eliciting stories of gender-transformative change: Investigating the effectiveness of question prompt formulations in qualitative gender assessments
Evaluations of gender equality initiatives in development programmes traditionally assess cognitive dimensions such as knowledge, attitudes, and awareness; and often rely solely on women’s perspectives. Leveraging story-based evaluation methods, this article explores the assessment of complex gender-transformations and focuses on effective question prompts to elicit significant and meaningful narratives of change from both women and men. In collaboration with a development programme in Cambodia, a staff assessment process led to a set of criteria for considering the quality of respondent stories and testing the efficacy of four different question prompts (n = 176): verb-, value-, sphere-, and theme-based. Highlighting aspects of embodiment, the study suggests that verb-based prompts were the most effective at eliciting stories that reflect diverse experiences of both women and men in processes of gender-transformation. Findings from our analysis can support evaluators in balancing simplicity and specificity of questions in assessing the unique experiences of individuals undergoing complex change.
期刊介绍:
Performance Evaluation functions as a leading journal in the area of modeling, measurement, and evaluation of performance aspects of computing and communication systems. As such, it aims to present a balanced and complete view of the entire Performance Evaluation profession. Hence, the journal is interested in papers that focus on one or more of the following dimensions:
-Define new performance evaluation tools, including measurement and monitoring tools as well as modeling and analytic techniques
-Provide new insights into the performance of computing and communication systems
-Introduce new application areas where performance evaluation tools can play an important role and creative new uses for performance evaluation tools.
More specifically, common application areas of interest include the performance of:
-Resource allocation and control methods and algorithms (e.g. routing and flow control in networks, bandwidth allocation, processor scheduling, memory management)
-System architecture, design and implementation
-Cognitive radio
-VANETs
-Social networks and media
-Energy efficient ICT
-Energy harvesting
-Data centers
-Data centric networks
-System reliability
-System tuning and capacity planning
-Wireless and sensor networks
-Autonomic and self-organizing systems
-Embedded systems
-Network science
