Description
Evaluating Values, Biases, and Practical Wisdom by Ernest R. House is a thought-provoking exploration of how we think about evaluation. The book reframes key concepts, starting with the origins of our values and biases, before examining their practical application in evaluations. House delves into the complexities of value, clarifying its meaning and exploring how it is handled in evaluations. He also examines the role of biases, highlighting their importance in evaluation frameworks and demonstrating their underappreciation in practice. The book's third part focuses on practical wisdom, the knowledge that evaluators acquire through experience, which informs their approach to evaluations. Through concrete examples, House illustrates the significance of practical wisdom in shaping our actions as evaluators. This insightful book provides a fresh perspective on evaluation, offering valuable insights for those working in education and related fields.
