This text focuses on "participatory evaluation," an approach that
involves teachers and educational administrators as partners with
researchers in a broad range of school and school system-based
evaluation tasks with the explicit goal of using such data to
improve practice.; Participatory evaluation is a natural, suitable
and effective approach to school improvement and educational
change, and has been practiced by the editors and several
colleagues for many years. Though participatory applied research
strategies are growing in popularity, there is a paucity of
documented empirical support for the approach. presenting a set of
original empirical studies and a critical analysis of them this
book will add to our knowledge about variations in the approach,
conditions that support it, its viability within the culture of
schools and school systems and its likely impact defined in terms
of the use of research data and organisational learning.; The book
will be useful for educational practitioners interested in
critically evaluating the potential of participatory evaluation as
an integral part of their own approach to educational reform. It
will also clarify an agenda for research to further our
understanding of the organisational benefits of this type of
collaborative systematic enquiry.
