    • Evaluating and Valuing in Social Research, Paperback by Schwandt, Thomas A.; Gates, Emily F., ISBN 146254732X, ISBN-13 9781462547326, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

      This book outlines an approach to evaluating and valuing in social science research, particularly research in applied fields like program and policy evaluation, policy analysis, organizational and community development, business and nonprofit management, clinical sociology, social work, community psychology, international development, education, and public health. It argues for a systematic reflexivity about what is valued in research, the values research promotes, how decisions about what to value are made and by whom, and how evaluating takes place. It addresses research ethics and the values involved; the role of facts and values in scientific research and the influence of political, cultural, and social values and norms; the mainstream view of evaluating in social research and expanding this view; an alternative frame for evaluating that addresses the complexity of social problems and change processes and the need for evaluating interventions in ways that account for this complexity and support change; how the conventional and alternative frames are complementary; and professional responsibility in the context of valuing and evaluating.
