THE CONCEPT OF PROGRAM EVALUATION AND ITS DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES TO CURRENT CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS OF EVALUATION.
Abstract
THIS ARTICLE DISCUSSES HOW PROGRAM EVALUATION IS DIFFERENT FROM PROJECT EVALUATION, DIFFERENT FROM PROGRAM RESEARCH, A PROCESS RATHER THAN A PROCEDURE, MORE THAN EXAMINING THE ATTAINMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND EVALUATING PROGRAM RESULTS. THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT PROVIDE PROCEDURES FOR PROGRAM EVALUATION BUT ATTEMPTS TO GIVE THE READER A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT OF PROGRAM EVALUATION. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
