The Participation of Cultural Informants on Bilingual and Cross-Cultural Evaluation Teams.

Slaughter, Helen B.

Evaluation Practice, v12 n2 p149-57 Jun 1991

Difficulties faced in evaluations that include data in a language not native to the evaluators or that lie outside the evaluators' cultural experience are discussed. Improvements to credibility and fairness from using a cross-cultural, bilingual evaluation are described and illustrated through evaluation of a language immersion program in Hawaii. (SLD)
