Cousins, J.B.

This chapter explores meanings of partiicpatory evaluation. It identifies two principal streams of participatory evaluation, streams that loosely correspond to pragmatic and emancipatory functions. After describing these streams, the authors present a framework for differentiating among forms of collaborative inquiry and apply it as a way to 1) compare the two streams of participatory evlauation and 2) situate them among other forms of collaborative evlauation and collaborative inquiry.
