Anyone for a Horse Race?

Anyone in the mood for a horse race?  Today we tackle the issue of different and competing evaluation approaches, models, types, whatever you want to call them, plus the challenges of inconsistent terminology in our field. 

Here are the two articles we mention by Paul Duignan:

• Terminology in evaluation: Approaches, types (purposes), methods, analysis techniques and designs
• Untangling Evaluation Terms – Discussing Evaluation 'Types' With Clients Often More Useful Than Evaluation 'Approaches'

Here's the Evaluation Typology map that Kylie mentioned.

If you're interested in the free Evaluation Glossary Mobile App you can download it here. 

As usual, we'd love to hear your comments below. 

Until next time, 

James and Kylie
