Strategies for Dealing with the Issue of Subjectivity in Evaluation.

Goodrich, Thelma Jean

Evaluation Quarterly, v2 n4 p631-45 Nov 1978

The article discusses three strategies, dealing with: philosophical foundations, the subjectivity of the "objects" of the studies, and the subjectivity of the observer. (Author/GDC)
