Methods for Collecting Data Based Upon an Eastern Paradigm of Evaluation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: This is one in a series of articles in which the authors attempt to relate Eastern philosophy to contemporary program planning and evaluation.
Purpose: The authors examine data collection methods through the lens of Eastern Philosophy.
Setting: N/A
Intervention: N/A
Research Design: Pre-experimental design: one-shot case study.
Data Collection and Analysis: The author attempts to "see" a photograph sealed in an opaque envelope.
Findings: The author was able to draw a picture that somewhat resembled the photograph. This was one of the author's better attempts at CRV. To be able for him to refine this technique to the point that it might have application for evaluation will no doubt take a long time -- if ever. However, it is an intriguing notion.
