Program Evaluation Forms and Approaches

This is the highly regarded Third Edition of John Owen's "Program Evaluation Forms and Approaches," published in 2006 by Allen & Unwin. Praised by experts such as Professor Murray Saunders for its "thoroughness, insight and fluency" and Professor Marvin Alkin for its practical utility, this book remains a vital resource for practitioners and students alike. Owen's work helps clarify the distinctions between various aspects of evaluation, the motivations behind conducting evaluations, and the appropriate approaches for each. It is liberally sprinkled with timely evaluation examples, making it exceptionally useful for those involved in policy and program development and delivery who are increasingly asked to plan, reflect, and justify their decisions. This Third Edition has been thoroughly revised to incorporate recent research and new examples of good practice. Key additions include sections on the management of evaluation, negotiating evaluation plans, program logic and ex ante evaluation, evidence-based practice, performance management, and accountability. Featuring international examples across health, education, welfare, community, and other settings, "Program Evaluation" offers a conceptual yet straightforward and practical overview of the evaluation process for both beginners and experienced practitioners. It provides an original framework for identifying appropriate forms, approaches, and methods, examines the contributions of evaluation to program provision, and offers proven techniques for involving stakeholders and disseminating findings. This copy is a Paperback in Good condition. It presents an essential reference for anyone involved in evaluation in both the public and private sectors.
