| Abstract:
Graduate students in an introductory evaluation course compared Patton's Developmental Evaluation and several other texts on evaluation. They applied what they learned while evaluating an emerging technology-based learning suite being created simultaneously by their university's center for teaching and learning. The students created mind maps to summarize what they learned about values, valuing, realities of evaluation practice, their personal evaluation lives, contrasts among approaches, and essential principles of evaluation such as flexibility, authenticity, responsiveness and spontaneity. The students will share their mind maps using stories, video, music, dance, sports illustrations, and art to portray their evolving values and the values of stakeholders as these played out in this learning-by-doing evaluation apprenticeship. Their professor as discussant and Michael Patton as session chair will explore implications and respond to the students' efforts to dive into and begin interpreting and growing the field of evaluation. They will invite the audience to share reactions.

Using Patton's Developmental Evaluation (2011) and Eisner's Art of Educational Evaluation (1985) as a foundation, this student joined other students in evaluating an innovative suite of electronic learning/teaching tools. Others studied Patton and at least one other text and all students studied and shared ideas from current evaluation articles, websites, their own metaevaluations of completed evaluations and kept journals in which they reflected on their personal evaluation lives and evolving views on evaluation theory and practice. In this presentation, the student will share a mind map in which they summarize what they learned about values, valuing, realities of evaluation practice, their personal evaluation life, contrasts among approaches, and essential principles of evaluation, such as flexibility, authenticity, responsiveness and spontaneity. They will employ stories, video, music, dance, sports illustrations, and/or art to portray their values and those of stakeholders that played out in this learning-by-doing evaluation apprenticeship.
