A Discourse Perspective on Evaluation
Journal Title: KultŁ«ra ir visuomenė. SocialiniŁ³ tyrimŁ³ Ł¾urnalas - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper explores issues and implications of evaluation considered from a discourse perspective. Five topics are discussed: questions, description, authority, criteria, and positioning. In each case, issues are identified that tend to be overlooked, ignored, or not visible from an evaluationas-methods perspective. The paper concludes with an appeal for increased openness and diversity in our understandings and practices of evaluation.
