Abstract

Evaluation research can assess the value and effectiveness of interventions and innovations involving people. While this has often been on a grand scale, this book focuses on small-scale projects carried out by an individual or small group, typically lasting for weeks or at most a few months, at a local rather than national level. Using limited jargon and featuring integrated, real-world examples, this second edition offers a clear, accessible background to evaluation and prepares you to undertake your own small-scale evaluation research project. Key features include discussion of: . Different approaches to evaluation and how to choose between them . The advantages and disadvantages of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) . Realist evaluation and its increasing importance . The centrality of ethical and political issues . The influence and opportunity of the Internet Tightly focused on the realities of carrying out small-scale evaluation, Small-Scale Evaluation is a highly practical guide covering the needs of both social scientists and others without this background. Colin Robson is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Human & Health Sciences at the University of Huddersfield.

Abstract

In this book a methodology for the evaluation of energy efficiency of mobile working machines by simulation is presented. It allows an efficiency analysis and systematic optimization of a single power train as well as a comparison of different power train concepts. The methodology is applied to a wheeled excavator. To ensure a realistic power demand in the simulation, a rule-based operator model is developed.

Abstract

Être évalué paraît généralement aller de soi, voire être désirable : « On m’évalue, donc je suis. » Or ces évaluations sont tout à fait paradoxales : au nom de la rétribution au mérite, elles dénient le mérite véritable et engendrent un climat délétère de concurrence et de sauve-qui-peut ; au nom de « plus d’efficacité », elles créent une forme inédite d’inefficacité ; au nom de l’objectivité, elles écrasent les différences, standardisent, normalisent. De cette omniprésence de l’évaluation et de ses méfaits, ce livre propose une analyse originale, qui, au-delà de la critique, réfléchit aussi à des pistes alternatives en résonance avec une intuition largement répandue : la complexité de la vie sociale n’est pas respectée. Les nouvelles évaluations unidimensionalisent une vie multiple, ignorent les conflits qui font le coeur de l’individu comme de la société et, surtout prétendent être justes et efficaces en dehors de toute situation concrète, réelle : en dehors de toute territorialisation. Une réflexion essentielle pour ne pas se soumettre à cette « évaluation qui tue ».

Abstract

"In Fourth Generation Evaluation, Guba and Lincoln present a strong, unequivocal argument for the epistemological, methodological, and ethical superiority of their refined constructivist inquiry paradigm for the political and practical demands of program evaluation." --Jennifer Greene, Cornell University "I would warmly recommend it as stimulating and challenging reading." --Systems Practice "I consider Fourth Generation Evaluation to be an exceptionally daring and insightful book. It has done more than most books to further loosen the grip of liberal, instrumental ''common sense'' (i.e., ideology) that has constricted the field of evaluation for the past 30 years. The book's idealism is energizing and must only be matched, as the authors certainly know, by yet more hard-headed analysis. Its radical ambitions are inspiring if not always apparently achievable. However, fair is fair: radical ends demand radical means." --Evaluation Practice Fourth Generation Evaluation represents a monumental shift in evaluation practice. Guba and Lincoln point to the inherent problems faced by previous generations of evaluators--politics, ethical dilemmas, imperfections and gaps, inconclusive deductions--and lay the blame for failure and nonutilization at the feet of the unquestioned reliance on the scientific/positivist paradigm of research. Fourth Generation Evaluation, a more informed and sophisticated approach, moves beyond science to include the myriad human, political, social, cultural, and contextual elements that are involved. Based upon relativism, a unity between knower and known, and a subjective epistemology, the authors show how fourth generation evaluation unites the evaluator and the stakeholders in an interaction that creates the product of the evaluation. Differing from previously existing generations, this new approach moves evaluation to a new level, whose key dynamic is negotiation. The constructivist paradigm is espoused by the authors and shown to offer multi
