| Abstract
|
:
|
This is a book about change in educational organizations. Participatory evaluation is an approach that involves teachers and educational administrators as partners with researchers in a broad range of school and school-based evaluation tasks with the explicit goal of using such data to improve practice. It is a natural, suitable and effective approach to school improvement and educational change. Although participatory applied research strategies are growing in popularity, there is a paucity of documented empirical support for the approach. By presenting a set of original empirical studies and a critical analysis of them, this book adds to our knowledge about variations in approach, conditions that support it, its viability within the culture of the schools and school systems and its likely impact defined in terms of the use of research data and organizational learning.
