Description and Table of Contents
Description
The progress that ethnographies have been making in educational evaluation and how ethnography has adapted to the educational sphere is analysed in this book. It first gives an overview of the state-of-the-art and a discussion of ethnographic techniques in evaluation research. It then presents a series of illustrative case studies of ethnographic evaluation, and finally addresses theoretical and ethical dilemmas in ethnographic evaluation.
