Nuevas tendencias en la evaluación de programas de Educación Multicultural
Abstract
The article brings together a number of the different approaches to evaluative research which have been found to be particulary useful in the evaluation of multicultural education programs. While the models presented here have the common feature that they are developed from a qualitative perspective, emphasis is placed in their potential in responding to those needs which appear in the evaluation of social programmes, and in particular in the evaluation of multicultural education programmes. The starting point is a brief analysis of these needs which is followed by a study of some possible models which try to offer a more adequate response to these needs.
Four such models are presented: participative evaluation, democratic and deliberative evaluation, collaborative evaluation and the evaluation of community based programmes. The materials used are drawn from a wide variety of literature related to the theme, and especially from our own experience in multicultural programme evaluation.
Finally, this article provides a fuller development of the study of «empowerment» as an evaluation strategy in intercultural education and at the same time offers an example of the application of this strategy in a programme evaluation.
