J. D. Brown defines evaluation as the systematic collection and analysis of all relevant information necessary to promote the improvement necessary to promote the improvement of the curriculum, and assess its effectiveness and efficiency, as well as the participants attitudes within the context of the particular institutions involved (1989, p.223). This goes beyond goals-evaluation, which is in Browns opinion limiting because it doesnt allow for upgrading and modifying. The one thing that many of the latest offerings on innovation evaluation can be said to have in common is that a consensus exists that there can be no one agreed upon way to do evaluation. However, standards have been articulated by the American Evaluation Association (Standards for evaluations of educational programs, projects, and materials) cited in Beretta (1992). These are summarized in four components; utility, feasibility, propriety, accuracy.
