Читать книгу An Introduction to Evaluation - Chris Fox - Страница 51

Evaluators must respect participants’ differences in culture, religion, beliefs and practices, ethnicity, gender roles, disability and age, and be aware of the implications of these differences, reflecting on them when deciding on the methods, approaches, and reporting. For instance, certain methods should not apply to young people and children and alternatives will need to be considered (Williamson 2005), indigenous groups (Williams et al. 2011) or women victims of domestic violence (Sullivan and Cain 2004).

Additionally, evaluators must ensure that the diversity contained in the wider context is also reflected in the evaluators’ sample of participants, ‘including relatively powerless, “hidden”, or otherwise excluded groups’ (UNEG 2007: 7).
