Empowerment Evaluation de David M. Fetterman

Empowerment Evaluation

Autor David M. Fetterman, Shakeh J. Kaftarian, Abraham Wandersman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 1995

În literatura academică dedicată metodologiilor de cercetare socială, a existat mult timp o lacună privind implicarea directă a beneficiarilor în procesul de auditare și îmbunătățire a propriilor programe. Empowerment Evaluation, aflat la a doua ediție, vine să completeze acest gol, oferind un cadru formal pentru ceea ce autorii numesc auto-evaluare sistematică și responsabilizare. Considerăm că acest volum este esențial pentru a înțelege tranziția de la evaluarea externă, adesea percepută ca intruzivă, la o abordare participativă în care evaluatorul devine un „prieten critic” al comunității.

Descoperim aici o structură riguroasă, împărțită între fundamentele teoretice și aplicabilitatea lor în contexte diverse. Partea întâi clarifică cele 10 principii ale metodei, în timp ce a doua parte demonstrează versatilitatea acestora prin studii de caz ce variază de la organizații de femei artizan în Peru, până la inițiative tehnologice de amploare finanțate de Hewlett-Packard. Cititorii familiarizați cu Foundations of Empowerment Evaluation vor aprecia modul în care acest nou volum actualizează instrumentele de lucru, integrând lecțiile învățate în cele două decenii de la prima ediție.

Subliniem importanța progresiei narative a textului: de la definirea misiunii și „inventarierea” resurselor, până la trasarea cursului viitor pentru sustenabilitate. Spre deosebire de Empowerment and Participatory Evaluation of Community Interventions, care se concentrează pe intervenția comunitară generală, lucrarea coordonată de David M. Fetterman, Shakeh J. Kaftarian și Abraham Wandersman oferă o metodologie de „capacity building” mult mai specifică, aplicabilă atât în fundații, cât și în mediul guvernamental. Tabelele și figurile alb-negru incluse facilitează înțelegerea fluxurilor de lucru, transformând o teorie complexă într-un ghid de implementare practic.

Descriere scurtă

Empowerment evaluation - a method for using evaluation concepts, techniques and findings to foster improvement and self-determination - is the focus of this book. After an examination of the method as it has been adopted in academic and foundation settings, the book looks at the various contexts in which empowerment evaluation is conducted, ranging from resistant environments to responsive environments. Critical concerns in empowerment evaluation, such as the role of empowerment theory and multiple levels of empowerment from individual to societal, are then discussed. The book also provides tools and technical assistance needed to conduct empowerment evaluation. The concluding section of the book serves to strengthen the links between empowerment evaluation and community-capacity building.

Descriere

This outstanding group of evaluators from academia, government, nonprofits, and foundations explores empowerment evaluation, a method for using evaluation concepts, techniques, and findings to foster improvement and self-determination.

Empowerment Evaluation begins with an in-depth examination of this type of evaluation as it has been adopted in academic and foundation settings. The book then focuses on the various contexts in which empowerment evaluation is conducted, ranging from resistant environments (in which significant effort is required to move from passive-compliance orientations) to responsive environments (that already have a tradition of self-determination and community organizing). Interesting highlights concerning the role empowerment evaluation has played in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' substance abuse prevention programs are detailed throughout the book. The contributors also provide down-to-earth tools and technical assistance needed to conduct empowerment evaluation. This volume concludes with themes that emerge from the chapters and recommendations concerning next steps. This serves to strengthen the links between empowerment evaluation and community capacity building.

Recenzii

“The book provides depth and detail about the nature, variety, rigors, and credibility of self-evaluation, no small contribution…there is much of value here, strong evidence of an approach that, well-facilitated and comprehensively engaged, can make a substantial difference.”
"This text brings empowerment evaluation to life, and in doing so it offers all evaluators a large body of relevant concepts and tools for designing, implementing, and assessing evaluation efforts that engage, democratize, and strengthen stakeholder’s self-determination."

"This twenty year follow-up to the original, provides even better and richer stories about the versatility and utility of empowerment work in most social contexts.  It expands our understanding of how empowerment evaluation is foundational to any effort to improve and measure growth in any community/social environment."

"One of the greatest evaluation innovations of the past two decades has been the development of a professional and systematic approach to self-evaluation called empowerment evaluation.  This book offers you the latest cutting edge understanding of this powerful innovation and evaluation approach.  May you be inspired and empowered as you adventure through the chapters in this outstanding volume!"

"Empowerment evaluation is the name given by David Fetterman in his American Evaluation Association (AEA) 1993 Presidential Address to an evaluation theory and practice intended '... to foster improvement and self-determination'...Empowerment evaluation [is] of the people, for the people, and very much by the people. Our role as evaluators [is] to be a critical friend, a coach, and a source of technical assistance when it [is] requested by the self-evaluating communities and organizations. No wonder that in 1993 'conversations and arguments spilled out into the hallways'...Empowerment evaluation and its leaders have received AEA’s highest accolades, such as the Myrdal Evaluation Practice Award (awarded to Fetterman in 1995 and Kaftarian in 1996), the Outstanding Publication Award (Wandersman in 2008), and the Lazarsfeld Evaluation Theory Award (Fetterman in 2000) as well as other recognition...Each chapter giving a case instance explicitly connects the 10 principles of empowerment evaluation to the processes, decision-making, participation, utilization, and other aspects of the evaluations reported...the results of more than 25 years of dedicated hard work and diligent thought are being shared with us. My recommendation remains, unequivocally and appreciatively: This book belongs on our shelves. Get it, read it, and, as appropriate, use it."
