The first edition of Richard Wolf's volume was written during
the infancy of the field of evaluation. Fifteen years later,
educational evaluation is now an established field which has gone
through considerable changes. Enduring the test of time, the value
of Wolf's ideas remains constant. This third edition is an
extension and refinement of his ideas. He continues to avoid the
entanglement of unwarranted ideological positions. Instead he
identifies basic questions addressed in a study and the classes of
information needed to answer those questions. New material,
including a new chapter, act as additional layers on the same
structure. Throughout, Wolf advocates an eclectic approach--using
both quantitative and qualitative techniques. He has structured
this volume as a text for graduate students and a handbook for
professionals.
Richard Wolf's book presents a comprehensive view of educational
evaluation. It covers the history of evaluation, planning and
conduct of evaluation studies, analysis and interpretation of
results, report preparation, and decision making. A new chapter
surveys the contemporary scene in educational evaluation: the
development of evaluation; the convergence and divergence in views;
qualitative versus quantitative approaches; and the role of
teachers in evaluation. Each chapter concludes with updated,
comprehensive references and additional readings. Wolf's text
"Evaluation in Education" is a classic in the field. The
eclecticism of its approach is its serviceability.
