Research and Evaluation
Researchers and evaluators will consider the purposes and functions of evaluation in DR K-12 research and development projects, and test different approaches in a working session.
The session will focus on: 1) considerations about the relationship of evaluation and research in terms of purposes/functions of evaluation for a DR K-12 development and/or research project; and 2) balancing internal/external/advisory board roles within those purposes/functions of evaluation. Panelists will comment on how projects they are involved in—as investigators or evaluators—have negotiated these considerations.
