Fourth Generation Evaluation

can be applied using different methods, different evaluations, for different purposes, and for different audiences.

Guba and Lincoln, in their 1989 book, Fourth Generation Evaluation, made the argument for more authentic evaluations, which emphasized holistic approaches and examinations of organizational situations, not just programs.

They advocated for a diversity of approaches which unite evaluators with stakeholders to then generate the final evaluation product.

I peaked at Mac's Spotify playlist just before this session, and I could only find disco music.
