Qualitative evaluation techniques will be presented and discussed for the purpose of capturing the social context of the evaluation process. In order to make the participants come alive in the study, a phenomenological approach to evaluation will be addressed. Attendees of this session will practice finding poetry in interview data and creating poetry from photographs of a recent evaluation project. Issues regarding photography as evaluation data points will be described and analyzed. |
