| Description | Evaluation Theorist Michael Scriven, of Western Michigan University, presents his perspective on the "causation-debate." According to Scriven, formal analysis (e.g., experimentation and statistical analysis) is neither necessary nor sufficient to infer causation, though it may be a useful tool. Rather, causation is something that we can see at work in our daily lives. That is, we are able to infer it because we have learned how to include it in our own perception. Scriven presents various interpretations and analogies of this idea, and applies them to the field of professional evaluation. |
