This publication aims to outline and develop a framework for the application
of the new, emerging realist paradigm in evaluation research in practice, and
applies it to social work practice in particular and to the practice of human
service programmes in general. This paradigm is reported to have the
potential for an evaluation strategy that not only systematically tracks outcomes,
but also the mechanisms that produce the outcomes, the contexts
in which these mechanisms are triggered, and the content of the interventions
(Kazi, 2000a; Pawson and Tilley, 1997b). |
