| Description | Professor Jennifer Greene of the Education Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign addresses the gap between collecting credible evidence in evaluation research, and applying it in a public policy domain. Greene's main question asks why the current demand for scientific evidence to support policy decisions is in controversy. According to Greene, "generating credible evidence to enhance understanding and support for decisions about important human affairs constitutes a shared center of the evaluation enterprise." Greene includes in this discussion some fundamental ambitions about politics and policies and connects them to examples from her own evaluation research in the field of Education. A difficulty, as Greene sees it, is the misconception, in both political and research arenas, that credible evidence need be used as proof of social phenomenon. Rather, she posits, the social condition is to complex to isolate in such a way, and evidence should be used as a window into human experience. |
