The Future Perfect of Evaluation.
House, Ernest R.
Evaluation Practice, v15 n3 p239-47 Oct 1994
An optimistic view of the potential of evaluation to be a force for social improvement is presented. The most important unfinished task for evaluation may be to expand the logic of value judgments. In addition, the social usefulness of evaluation will depend on its credibility and the professionalism of evaluators. (SLD)
