Roots: Back to Our First Generations.
Sechrest, Lee
Evaluation Practice, v13 n1 p1-7 Feb 1992
The future of program evaluation is bright if evaluators do not ignore their roots in quantitative research. The current interest in qualitative approaches and the call for a "fourth generation" in evaluation should not override training in quantitative research. Qualitative research should complement, rather than replace, traditional methods. (SLD)
