Abstract

This chapter contains a short review on evaluation models and an introduction into structure oriented evaluation.

The chapter starts with the basic definitions and gives an overview on recent evaluation models in chronological order. The following models are considered: the object-/goal-oriented model, Kirkpatrick’s four-level model, the consumer-oriented model, the CIPP model, Taba’s model, the discrepancy model, the CIRO model, the goal-free model, the transactional model, Eisner’s connoisseurship model, the logic model, the five level ROI model, the decision-making model, Kaufman’s five level model, the P3 model, the unfolding model, the PDPP model, the expertise-oriented model, the participant-oriented model, and the theory-driven model.

The second part of this chapter introduces into structure oriented evaluation model. Thereby the main concept is presented of structure oriented evaluation and the single steps of this model are explained based on an abstract example.
