Reclaiming Logic Modeling for Evaluation: A Theory of Action Framework
Logic modeling, the process that explicates how programs are constructed and theorized to bring about change, is considered to be standard evaluation practice. However, logic modeling is often experienced as a transactional, jargon-laden, discrete task undertaken to produce a document to comply with the expectations of an external entity, the consequences of which have minimal or even negative influence on the quality of program evaluation. This article presents the Logic Modeling Theory of Action Framework (LMTAF) which elucidates needs, resources, and central activities of logic modeling, and describes its potential evaluation-related benefits. The LMTAF situates evaluators as the primary intended users of logic modeling, and logic modeling as a fundamental element of each stage of a program evaluation life cycle. We aim to reassert the value of logic modeling for evaluation and provide evaluation practitioners a useful touchstone for reflective practice and future action.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
