Excellent- More about Evaluating and Valuing in Social Research
This book provides an alternative approach to dealing with complex social problems by incorporating reflection on researchers' values, promoting values research, and engaging in deliberative argumentation. It offers practical and conceptual guidance to help researchers engage meaningfully with value conflicts and refine their capacity to engage in deliberative argumentation, with pedagogical features such as an evaluation case, Bridge to Practice exercises, and annotated resources.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 250 pages
Publication date: 26 October 2021
Publisher: Guilford Publications
Much applied research takes place as if complex social problems--and evaluations of interventions to address them--can be dealt with in a purely technical way. In contrast, this groundbreaking book offers an alternative approach that incorporates sustained, systematic reflection about researchers' values, what values research promotes, how decisions about what to value are made and by whom, and how judging the value of social interventions takes place. The authors offer practical and conceptual guidance to help researchers engage meaningfully with value conflicts and refine their capacity to engage in deliberative argumentation. Pedagogical features include a detailed evaluation case, Bridge to Practice exercises, and annotated resources in most chapters, and an end-of-book glossary.
