Prologue: the revolution will not be evaluated : an ode to Gil Scot-Heron, Michael Scriven, and the future of evaluation / Rodney Hopson -- Connecting evaluation's past to its future : appreciating Scriven's legacy and frame-breaking revolutions / Stewart I. Donaldson -- The foundation and future of evaluation / Michael Scriven -- The future of evaluation in society : top ten trends plus one / Michael Quinn Patton -- Evaluation's conflicted future / Ernest R. House -- My tribute to a trail blazer : evaluation iconoclast? : Professor Michael Scriven / Daniel L. Stufflebeam -- Michael Scriven and the development of evaluation lexicon / Christina A. Christie -- The people and the profession / Robert Stake -- Consumers, curmudgeons, and courage : traveling evaluation's byways with Michael Scriven / Jennifer C. Greene -- Advancing considerations of culture and validity : honoring the key evaluation checklist / Karen E. Kirkhart -- The future of evaluation in society: variations on a theme / Melvin M. Mark.
The impetus for this volume lives in a rich and vibrant past. It is organized to honor one of the founders and most prolific contributors to the professional and transdiscipline of evaluation - Professor Michael Scriven, and to illuminate the future of evaluation in society. Professor Scriven often shares stories of his meetings with Albert Eistein and the frame-breaking evaluation revolution he has led against the value free doctrine of the social sciences. Both his wide eyed graduate students and the more grizzled evaluation veterans in his professional development workshops quickly learn that Scriven is well traveled and has exchanged some of the boldest ideas and visions with the most brilliant thinkers of his time. Scriven insisted that the 2011 Stauffer Symposium and this volume be organized in that genre. This book will be of great interest to evaluation scholars, practitioners, and students of evaluation. It will be appropriate for use in a wide range of evaluation courses including Introduction to Evaluation, Evaluation Theory, and Evaluation Practice courses.
