Blinova, E.A. The place of category of “values” in the evaluation of state programs.

Abstract: The problem of place of category “values” in the methodology and practice of program evaluation is considered in this article. There are two main approaches to evaluation: technical-rational evaluation, excluding the values from its methodology and theoretical approach and critical evaluation, offering to put the category “values” in the center of the analysis. In critical evaluation the internal values of stakeholders, as well as external values that form the political context of evaluation are usually distinguished. The problem of the place of values in evaluation and policy analysis has a long-standing origin and is associated with the concept of classical sociology to conduct the value-free objective research. This requirement caused troubles for evaluation in becoming a scientifi c discipline and a recent progress in developing specifi c methodology for program evaluation helped to improve the situation.

Keywords:

program evaluation, values, public policy analysis, critical evaluation, technical-rational evaluation
