  • Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability
    Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability

    Sustainability in the built environment is a major issue facing policy-makers, planners, developers and designers in the UK, Europe and worldwide.The measuring of buildings and cities for sustainability becomes increasingly important as pressure for green, sustainable development translates into policy and legislation.The problems of such measurement and evaluation are presented by the authors in contributions which move from the general to the particular, e.g. from a general framework for an environmentally sustainable form of urban development to a specific input-output model application to environmental problems.The book is divided into three parts: the first covers city models and sustainable systems - research programmes, environmental policies, green corporations and collaborative strategies to make urban development more sustainable; part two discusses the problems of evaluating the built environment in planning and construction, covering economic and environmental methods and construction, development and regeneration processes; part three illustrates a number of applications using different approaches and techniques and referring to a range of environmental aspects of the natural and built environment, from maintaining historic buildings to transport management and air pollution monitoring.

  • What is an objective evaluation and what is a subjective evaluation?

    An objective evaluation is a measurement or assessment that is based on observable, measurable, and verifiable evidence. It is not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or biases. A subjective evaluation, on the other hand, is based on personal opinions, interpretations, and feelings. It is influenced by individual perspectives and can vary from person to person. Objective evaluations are often used in scientific research, performance appraisals, and standardized testing, while subjective evaluations are common in art, literature, and personal experiences.

  • Isn't the evaluation unfair?

    The fairness of an evaluation depends on the criteria and process used to assess the subject. If the evaluation is based on clear, objective criteria and conducted in a transparent and unbiased manner, then it can be considered fair. However, if the evaluation is influenced by personal biases, subjective opinions, or inconsistent standards, then it may be deemed unfair. It is important to ensure that evaluations are conducted with integrity and fairness to accurately assess the subject's performance or qualities.

  • How to create an evaluation?

    To create an evaluation, start by defining the purpose and objectives of the evaluation. Determine the criteria and methods that will be used to assess the subject or program being evaluated. Develop a plan that outlines the timeline, data collection methods, analysis techniques, and reporting format. Finally, implement the evaluation plan, collect data, analyze the results, and present findings with recommendations for improvement.

  • What is understood by evaluation?

    Evaluation is the process of assessing the value, worth, or quality of something based on specific criteria or standards. It involves gathering and analyzing information to make judgments or decisions about the effectiveness, efficiency, or impact of a program, project, product, or service. Evaluation helps to determine whether the intended goals and objectives have been achieved, and provides insights for improvement or decision-making. It is a systematic and objective way of measuring performance and informing future actions.

  • The Evaluation Game : How Publication Metrics Shape Scholarly Communication
    The Evaluation Game : How Publication Metrics Shape Scholarly Communication

    Scientific research is communicated, organized, financed, governed, and evaluated through the process of publication.The result of this process is a highly competitive academic environment that rewards researchers for high volume publication, preferably in high-impact journals, leading to the popularised expression 'publish or perish'.Universities and other scientific institutions are under similar pressure, with their aggregated research output being under constant scrutiny.This innovative text provides a detailed introduction to the origin and development of the scholarly metrics used to measure academic productivity, and the effect they have upon the quality and diversity of scientific research.With its careful attention to both the positive and negative outcomes of research evaluation and their distinct expressions around the globe, The Evaluation Game guides the way to a more grounded understanding of metrics, and the diverse academic cultures they give rise to.

  • Realistic Evaluation
    Realistic Evaluation

    Realistic Evaluation shows how program evaluation needs to be, and can be bettered.It presents a profound yet highly readable critique of current evaluation practice, and goes on to introduce a `manifesto' and `handbook' for a fresh approach. The main body of this book is devoted to the articulation of a new evaluation paradigm, which promises greater validity and utility from the findings of evaluation studies.The authors call this new approach `realistic evaluation'.The name reflects the paradigm's foundation in scientific realist philosophy, its commitment to the idea that programmes deal with real problems rather than mere social constructions, and its primary intention, which is to inform realistic developments in policy making that benefit programme participants and the public.Ray Pawson and Nicholas Tilley argue with passion that scientific evaluation requires a careful blend of theory and method, quality and quantity, ambition and realism. The book offers a complete blueprint for evaluation activities, running from design to data collection and analysis to the cumulation of findings across programmes and onto the realization of research into policy.The argument is developed using practical examples throughout and is grounded in the major fields of programme evaluation. This book will be essential reading for all those involved in the evaluation process especially those researchers, students and practitioners in the core disciplines of sociology, social policy, criminology, health and education. `This book is a must for those engaged in the field, providing a fully illustrated text on evaluation with numerous examples from the criminal justice system.Unusually, it offers something for the academic, practitioner and student alike.I found Pawson and Tilley's latest work on evaluation an enjoyable and informative read.For myself their "realistic evaluation" clarified and formalised a jumbled set of ideas I had already been developing.Although not everyone will agree with the methodology proposed by the authors, this book is a valuable read as it will cause most of us at least to review our methodological stance' - International Journal of Police Science and Management`This is an engaging book with a strong sense of voice and communicative task.The voice is sometimes strident, but always clear. Its communicative qualities are evident equally in its structure: lots of signposting for the reader within and across chapters' - Language Teaching Research`This provocative, elegant and highly insightful book focuses on the effective incorporation of actual practice into the formulation of evaluation methodology.What a pleasure to read sentences like: "The research act involves "learning" a stakeholder's theories, formalizing them, and "teaching" them back to that informant who is then in a position to comment upon, clarify and further refine the key ideas".Pawson and Tilley have given us a wise, witty and persuasive account of how real practitioner experience might be encouraged to intrude on (and modify) researchers' concepts about program processes and outcomes.This holds important promise for achieving something that is devoutly to be wished: closer interaction among at least some researchers and some policy makers' - Eleanor Chelimsky, Past-President of the American Evaluation Association`This is a sustained methodological argument by two wordly-wise social scientists.Unashamedly intellectual, theoretically ambitious yet with a clear but bounded conception of evaluation.It is articulate, occasionally eloquent and always iconoclastic, whilst eschewing "paradigm wars".The Pawson and Tilley "realist" call to arms threatens to take no prisoners among experimentalists, constructivists or pluralists.It is the kind of book that clarifies your thoughts, even when you disagree with everything they say' - Elliot Stern, The Tavistock Institute

  • What is an evaluation concept?

    An evaluation concept is a framework or approach used to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, and impact of a program, project, or intervention. It involves defining the criteria and standards for evaluation, determining the methods and tools to collect and analyze data, and interpreting the findings to make informed decisions. Evaluation concepts help stakeholders understand the strengths and weaknesses of their initiatives and make improvements based on evidence and feedback.

  • What is the teacher's evaluation?

    The teacher's evaluation is a process where a teacher's performance, effectiveness, and impact on students are assessed. This evaluation typically involves feedback from students, colleagues, administrators, and self-assessment by the teacher. The evaluation helps identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, and can be used to inform professional development goals and decisions regarding promotion or tenure. It is an important tool for ensuring that teachers are meeting the needs of their students and continuously improving their practice.

  • What is an unfair evaluation?

    An unfair evaluation is a judgment or assessment of someone's performance, abilities, or characteristics that is biased, unjust, or based on inaccurate information. It can occur when the evaluator allows personal feelings, prejudices, or stereotypes to influence their assessment, rather than objectively considering the individual's actual performance or qualities. Unfair evaluations can have negative consequences for the person being evaluated, such as being passed over for opportunities, receiving lower compensation, or experiencing damage to their reputation. It is important for evaluations to be conducted in a fair and objective manner to ensure that individuals are treated equitably.

  • Is this a correct evaluation?

    Without knowing the specific evaluation in question, it is difficult to determine if it is correct or not. Evaluations are typically based on specific criteria and evidence, so without that information it is impossible to make a judgment. It would be helpful to provide more context or details about the evaluation in order to determine its correctness.
