Generating Evidence About Practice

Abstract

Having developed possible frameworks for evaluation designs, in this chapter we focus upon developing evaluation methods. In particular, we intend to explore ways to undertake evaluations that are critical and informed with understandings of power and powerlessness. We consider ways in which to generate evidence about the practice being evaluated. We then proceed, in the following chapter, to look at ways in which such evidence may be analysed and used to inform the making of judgements about whether the practice is ‘good’, ‘good enough’, ‘poor’ or ‘corrupt’.
