The use of evaluation results is at the core of evaluation theory and practice. Major debates in the field have emphasized the importance of both the evaluator's role and the evaluation process itself in fostering evaluation use. A recent systematic review of interventions aimed at influencing policy-making or organizational behavior through knowledge exchange offers a new perspective on evaluation use. We propose here a framework for better understanding the embedded relations between evaluation context, choice of an evaluation model and use of results. The article argues that the evaluation context presents conditions that affect both the appropriateness of the evaluation model implemented and the use of results.
评估结果的使用是评估理论与实践的核心。该领域的主要争论强调了评估者的角色和评估过程本身在促进评估结果使用方面的重要性。最近一项针对旨在通过知识交流影响政策制定或组织行为的干预措施的系统综述，为评估结果的使用提供了新视角。我们在此提出一个框架，以更好地理解评估背景、评估模型的选择与结果使用之间的内在关系。本文认为，评估背景呈现出影响所实施评估模型的适宜性以及结果使用的条件。
