Major topics and issues found in the evaluation literature include quantitative versus qualitative approaches, identification and involvement of stakeholders, formulation of research questions, collection of data, analysis and interpretation of data, reporting of results, evaluation utilization, and ethical issues in program evaluation. There appears to be a trend toward the synthesis of program evaluation models. This focus incorporates concern for rigorous design, a combining of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, respect for the perspectives of all participants, pragmatism, active stakeholder involvement, and social value. The features of this focus proceed through the following steps: (1) study of program content; (2) establishment of stakeholder commitment and involvement; (3) focusing of the evaluation; (4) formulation of an evaluative design; (5) data collection; (6) holistic and statistical analyses; (7) interpretation of results; and (8) program modification. The process is circular and continuous. (TJH)
