9781032824819: The Politics and Ethics of Evaluation

Synopsis

First published in 1984, The Politics and Ethics of Evaluation considers, from the vantage point of the authors’ considerable experience of a wide range of evaluation, the ways in which they, and others, have coped with ethical and political problems that inherently arise during the evaluation process, particularly that of the responsive or democratic type. It looks at the evaluator’s claim to independence and how this is qualified by his relationship to his subject and to various other audiences.

The ethical and political problems of evaluation are discussed from the different perspectives of moral philosophy, sociology, the politics of organisations, curriculum development, and institutional evaluation. Also included is a chapter detailing English law and legal judgements pertaining to qualified privilege, libel and defamation of character. Guidelines for conducting independent evaluation conclude the volume. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of higher education, curriculum studies and ethics.
