摘要

语言在评估中至关重要。它影响对目标实现的理解、对项目质量的判断、利益相关群体之间的互动、对结果的解释以及未来的行动。本文报告了对语言的研究，通过研究 STEM 教育评估者对多样性、公平性和包容性的概念以及对其实践的影响，揭示了与 STEM 多元化议程相关的复杂性，以及在实现其目标过程中对评估的利用。数据是通过半结构式访谈收集的。研究结果表明：(1) 公平、多样性和全纳等术语具有多面性；(2) 评估员的角色并不单一；(3) 语言的价值和社会塑造方式对于潜在地打破人们对不公正现状的认识具有重要意义。

The criticality of language: Exploring STEM education evaluators conceptualizations of equity, diversity, and inclusion and the influence on their roles and practice

Language is critical in evaluation. It influences understanding of goal attainment, judgments made about the quality of a program, interactions between stakeholder groups, interpretation of findings, and future actions. This paper reports research on language that unearths complexities related to the agenda of diversifying STEM and the utilization of evaluation in achieving its goal through an examination of STEM education evaluators’ conceptualizations of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the implications for their practice. Data was collected via semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed (1) the multifaceted nature of terms such as equity, diversity, and inclusion, (2) the role of an evaluator is not singular, and (3) the importance of surfacing the ways in which language is both value-laden and socially shaping for potentially disrupting one’s knowledge of status quo injustices.

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
