Description
In this collection of studies, leading researchers in the field of ethnographic evaluation identify the failures of educational programmes and offer policy and pragmatic recommendations for change. The contributors look at international, US, and local evaluations of educational innovations in high schools, youth employment and training programmes, day-care centres and hospitals, and illustrate recent developments in ethnographic educational evaluation.
