A rationale and illustration of the use of original records or protocol materials in an evaluation research report are described. Records of school observations and audiotape transcripts were selected to represent the concepts or categories which were developed in the process of evaluation. These qualitative data were collected in a project which used a variety of methods, and, in conjunction with quantitative data, formed the basis of an evaluation report somewhat analogous to a case study. This view of evaluative research within the case study tradition should, in the long run, provide a more detailed analysis and understanding of the process and outcomes of education. (Author/BB)
