Evaluation frameworks: Activity 25 Block 4

Evaluation frameworks: Activity 25 Block 4

(Scheffel et. al. 2014:126)

 

Make notes based on this model on the SNAPP tool that you read about in Bakharia et al. (2009). My attempt here.

 


 

Compare the structured evaluation that you have produced with the evaluation of SNAPP in Example 5 of Cooper (2012:14f). Which do I find most useful? 

 

Although this may have more to do with my instantiation of it, I found the Scheffel model had too many discrete indicators to give me enough action into insight. I felt the interpretations still need another level of processing to maske them ‘actionable’. Hence I much prefer the Cooper model, which has a narrative aspect that enables located decision-making and action.

 

All the best
