Fourth generation evaluation

Guba, E.G., & Lincoln, Y.S. (1989). Fourth generation evaluation. Newbury Park: SAGE Publications, Inc.

'Fourth Generation Evaluation' represents a monumental shift in evaluation practice. The authors point to the inherent problems faced by previous generations of evaluators - politics, ethical dilemmas, imperfections and gaps, inconclusive deductions - and lay the blame for failure and nonutilization at the feet of the unquestioned reliance on the scientific/positivist paradigm of research. 'Fourth Generation Evaluation', a more informed and sophisticated approach, moves beyond science to include the myriad human, political, social, cultural, and contextual elements that are involved.
