Evaluation Theory, Models, and Applications (2nd edition) is designed for evaluators and students who need to develop a commanding knowledge of the evaluation field: its history, theory and standards, models and approaches, procedures, and inclusion of personnel as well as program evaluation. Like its predecessor, this important book shows how to choose from a growing array of program evaluation approaches. This book will be divided into five sections: (I) Fundamentals of Evaluation, (II) An Evaluation of Evaluation Approaches and Models, (III) Explication and Application of Selected Evaluation Approaches, (IV) Evaluation Tasks, Procedures, and Tools, and (V) The Metaevaluation Imperative and Mainstreaming Evaluation. The complete set of references will be included at the end of the book; only key recommended readings will be listed at the end of each chapter. Up-to-date references will be added throughout the book.
