Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to offer both theoretical and practical support to evaluation professionals preparing to facilitate the utilization phase of evaluation with a program or organization team. The Systems Evaluation Protocol for Participatory Data Use (SEPPDU) presented here is rooted in a partnership approach to evaluation and is therefore designed as a way to structure conversations and facilitate thinking around data interpretation and decision making. The SEPPDU is presented in three main parts: (a) summarizing evaluation results, (b) interpreting results, and (c) planning for action. This paper describes specific and practical tips for the facilitation of each part based on field experience in a variety of settings.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Evaluation (AJE) publishes original papers about the methods, theory, practice, and findings of evaluation. The general goal of AJE is to present the best work in and about evaluation, in order to improve the knowledge base and practice of its readers. Because the field of evaluation is diverse, with different intellectual traditions, approaches to practice, and domains of application, the papers published in AJE will reflect this diversity. Nevertheless, preference is given to papers that are likely to be of interest to a wide range of evaluators and that are written to be accessible to most readers.
