Abstract
This unit argues that evaluations should foster improvement, provide accountability records, and promote increased understanding of the phenomena under review; it argues further that the first of these is paramount. The module explicates the CIPP model for evaluation by describing its develop ment, contrasting it to other approaches, depicting its role in improving programs, explicating its main concepts, and outlining the requirements of a sound evaluation design. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of subjecting one’s evaluation work to evaluation through metaevaluation.
