What Does a Transformative Lens Bring to Credible Evidence in Mixed Methods Evaluations?
Mertens, Donna M.
New Directions for Evaluation, n138 p27-35 Sum 2013
Credibility in evaluation is a multifaceted concept that involves consideration of diverse stakeholders' perspectives and purposes. The use of a transformative lens is proposed as a means to bringing issues of social justice and human rights to the foreground in decisions about methodology, credibility of evidence, and use of evaluation findings.
