Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qu'est-ce que évaluer la recherche ? Pourquoi et pour quoi évaluer la recherche ? Comment évaluer la recherche ?

L'évaluation induit-elle des changements dans la recherche ?

Download or read book Values in Evaluation and Social Research written by Ernest . House and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1999-08-03 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Values in Evaluation is a breakthrough book that will change the way evaluators think about the relationship between facts and values. Using the tools of philosophy and insights from evaluation practice, the authors attack the inconsistencies in current thinking about the interplay of facts and values and give us an outline for reconstructing the approach to values within evaluation." --Gary T. Henry, Georgia State University "This book, as the title promises, unfurls the concept of value in the practice of program evaluation. The editors go well beyond recognizing that all data gathering and description are value laden and that all evaluators have value commitments shaping their designs. They examine the ethical and political burdens accompanying any evaluation contract. Out of an extended collaboration, Kenneth R. Howe and Ernest R. House together redirect their advocacy toward the pursuit of democracy." --Robert E. Stake, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign The authors use the tools of philosophy and the insights from evaluation practice to cut through current confusion about values and the interplay of facts and values. Four views of facts and values in evaluation are analyzed: those rooted in a fact-value dichotomy and those of radical constructivists, postmodernists, and deliberative democrats. The arguments are tough, the prose concise, and the insights compelling.

Download or read book Les revues en sciences humaines et sociales et l valuation entre mod le culturel et mod le scientifique written by Mathilde Bouthors and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outils d'évaluation et de gestion de la recherche en sciences "dures", les périodiques en sciences humaines et sociales intégrèrent récemment le modèle mertonien. L'étude se référant aux notions de circulation et de traduction des savoirs (Latour, 1997) rend compte de la communication scientifique dans le champ de l'éducation et de la recherche. Dans une perspective historique, le rapprochement de modèles éditoriaux parfois déjà identifiés par les chercheurs a révélé des hybridations tendues entre le pôle revuiste science-société et le pôle techno-scientifique du journal. Dans les années 50, deux revues "Abeona" et le "Courrier de la recherche pédagogique" connaissent ces hybridations concomitantes à une transformation de la démarche éducative. Dès les années 60, bibliométrie, scientométrie, normalisation et procédures d'évaluation des publications sont mobilisées pour une politique de recherche-développement liée à l'industrialisation des savoirs. La" Revue française de pédagogie" créée comme les sciences de l'éducation en 1967 et évaluée comme première revue de la discipline est le lieu de ces hybridations, passeur de la construction du nouveau champ dans un triangle médiologique. L'analyse des titres des articles de 1967 à 1999 révèle un univers habité par cinq notions, éducation, école, enseignement, formation, pédagogie où l'usage d'école est en progression et celui d'enseignement en baisse parallèlement à l' " universitarisation " et à la féminisation du milieu. L'économie de la connaissance requiert désormais une maîtrise stratégique de l'information et un nouveau modèle où évaluation, veille et intelligence économique proactives et informelles régulent la politique de la recherche.

Download or read book The Practice of Eating written by Alan Warde and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconstructs and extends sociological approaches to the understanding of food consumption. It identifies new ways to approach the explanation of food choice and it develops new concepts which will help reshape and reorient common understandings. Leading sociologist of food, Alan Warde, deals both with abstract issues about theories of practice and substantive analyses of aspects of eating, demonstrating how theories of practice can be elaborated and systematically applied to the activity of eating. The book falls into two parts. The first part establishes a basis for a practice-theoretic account of eating. Warde reviews research on eating, introduces theories of practice and constructs eating as a scientific object. The second part develops key concepts for the analysis of eating as a practice, showing how concepts like habit, routine, embodiment, repetition and convention can be applied to explain how eating is organised and coordinated through the generation, reproduction and transformation of a multitude of individual performances. The Practice of Eating thus addresses both substantive problems concerning the explanation of food habits and currently controversial issues in social theory, illustrated by detailed empirical analysis of some aspects of contemporary culinary life. It will become required reading for students and scholars of food and consumption in a wide range of disciplines, from sociology, anthropology and cultural studies to food studies, culinary studies and nutrition science.

Download or read book H l ne Metzger Historian and Historiographer of the Sciences written by Cristina Chimisso and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there something important to learn from the history of science about knowledge and the mind? Do habits and emotions play a significant role in science? To what extent do present concerns and knowledge distort our understanding of past texts and practices? These are crucial questions in current debates, but they are not new. This monograph evaluates the answers to these and other questions that Hélène Metzger (1889-1944) provided. Metzger, who was the leading historian of chemistry of her generation, left us unparalleled reflections on the theory, practice and aims of history writing. Despite her influence on subsequent generations of thinkers, including Thomas Kuhn, this is the first full-length monograph on her. Beginning with an overview of her life, and the challenges faced by a Jewish woman working within academia, the book goes on to discuss the most important themes of her historiography, and her engagement with other disciplines, notably general history, philosophy, ethnology and religious studies. The book also explores both Metzger’s immediate legacy and the relevance of her ideas for a host of current debates in science studies. The Appendices include four of her historiographical papers, translated into English for the first time.
