Features: In developed countries, "evaluation" has become a specialized discipline and has rapidly developed into a prominent interdisciplinary field. This book, co-authored by evaluation expert Dr. Daniel L. Stufflebeam and 25 other authors, presents major models for program evaluation applicable in the 21st century. The book first introduces the history of program or project evaluation in developed countries, then systematically and comprehensively explains 22 different types of evaluation models, including problem/method-oriented, improvement/accountability-oriented, and social issue-oriented approaches. Finally, the authors recommend several evaluation models most suitable for the 21st century, including currently the most popular accountability-oriented evaluation models and practical-oriented evaluation models. This book is not only suitable for students and teachers in public administration, business management, education, psychology, and sociology, but also for practitioners in market research and the evaluation field.
