Description - Progress and Future Directions in Evaluation: Perspectives on Theory, Practice, and Methods: New Directions for Evaluation, Number 76 by Debra J. Rog

Last year, the American Evaluation Association celebrated its tenth
anniversary. The annual conference, held in November 1996 and
entitled AEA: A Decade of Progress, Looking Back and Looking
Forward, provided an opportunity to review the history and
status of the field of evaluation and chart future directions. For
this volume, we have selected a broad sampling of papers from this
conference to offer the reader an array of perspectives on where
the field has been and where it should be going. The seven authors,
all seasoned evaluators, collectively provide a review of the
development of evaluation and offer perspective on its current
status and its future directions. Among the several themes noted,
one cross-cutting theme emerges as a guiding beacon for the future.
Evaluators, whether conducting a single study or a set of studies,
are contributing to a broader enterprise. In doing so, we must be
more cognizant of our responsibility to design and implement our
studies with this broader contribution in mind. This is the 76th
issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for
Evaluation.
