Evaluation and Social Policy: Some Reflections on Ideas and Institutions.

Klein, Rudolf

Evaluation and Program Planning: An International Journal, v5 n2 p133-40 1982

Evaluation as a meta-activity is a process which assumes that the definition of problems is itself problematic. In evaluation as a technical activity, agreed criteria are applied to agreed policy problems. This distinction has important implications for the role of universities and research funding.
