There is an array of approaches, each emphasizing different purposes and endorsing different methodologies to guide practice. Yet, no matter which goals are pursued and which methods are employed, all evaluation involves an effort to conceptualize, comprehend, and convey the quality of the programme. This volume brings together the work of certain evaluators to explore the evaluation of programme quality. Through conceptual descriptions and applied examples they discuss the theoretical concerns and practical issues that give rise to their particular conceptions of quality, the methodologies they employ to pursue an understanding of these conceptions, and the representational forms they employ to convey their understanding to stakeholders.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aEducational evaluation. 0aCurriculum evaluation. 7aCurriculum planning & development.2bicssc 7aEducationxCurricula.2bisacsh1 aLloyd, Claire.1 aBenson, Alexis.1 aHinn, D.
