- Summary:
-
Evaluators who perform formative evaluations would be well served to apprise themselves of recent survey research in framing formative evaluations. Illustrative examples are used from research into such diverse areas of activity as: the development of identities attached to different forms of modern rock and roll; the rationales that juvenile probation officers use in assigning recommended sanctions to a hypothesized juvenile offender; factors associated with teacher burnout in a large metropolitan school district; and how standardized scores can affect minority applicants to a selective admissions community college allied health care program. Stakeholders and concerned audiences, as well as formative evaluators, can all benefit from a scrutiny of social survey research that was not done from an evaluation perspective. Such a search, whether the data are of either a qualitative or quantitative nature, can heuristically inform the particulars that surround specific evaluative populations. (Author)
