With this series of papers, evaluators are being called to substantiate the rationale and warrant for their own evaluative actions in ways parallel to how evaluators question the logic of program interventions, both as designed and as implemented. This endeavor is timely, appropriate, and important. In these comments, I raise modest questions about the logical constitution of an evaluation theory and about what is missing from a textual reading alone of such theory.
在这一系列论文中,评估者被要求以类似于评估者质疑项目干预逻辑(包括设计和实施方面)的方式,来证实其自身评估行动的基本原理和依据。这项工作是及时、恰当且重要的。在这些评论中,我对评估理论的逻辑构成以及仅从文本角度阅读此类理论所缺失的内容提出一些适度的问题。
