Cycle of seminars : Methods and approaches in evaluation (METHEVAL)
Cycle of seminars : Methods and approaches in evaluation (METHEVAL)
Presentation of the seminar cycle
The series of seminars "Methods and Approaches in Evaluation" (METHEVAL) aims to deepen the reflection on methods and approaches in public policy evaluation from an interdisciplinary point of view open to the diversity of perspectives. The aim is both to encourage exchanges between researchers using different types of methods, to strengthen collective evaluation skills by gradually building up a commun corpus of references, and to clarify the LIEPP's position with regard to the most recent debates in the international field of evaluation.
Cross-cutting to the different thematic areas of LIEPP (educational policies, discrimination and category policies, socio-fiscal policies, evaluation of democracy, environmental policies, health policies), this reflection on evaluation methods and approaches provides a forum for exchqnge and for the development of a common evaluation culture.
On the basis of presentations by internal and external speakers from diverse disciplines (economics, sociology political science, education, health, etc.), the cycle will take into account, over the course of the sessions, the plurality of methods currently used in evaluation (e.g. impact studies, econometric methods, qualitative or mixed methods, analysis of implementation, literature reviews, etc.) in a variety of fields and national contexts.
Who is the cycle aimed at ?
Beyond the deepening of different methodological techniques, this seminar aims to open a reflection on the epistemological and ethical stakes of evaluation, but also on its uses and its impact on society and public action. It is also intended to be a place for exchange between academic and non-academic (administrative, associative, consultants, etc.) actors in evaluation.
What is its purpose ?
The cycle of seminars and its digital traces, freely accessible, are also intended to function as a resource for other academic, administrative, professional and associative actors involved in public policy evaluation processes. A collective publication project in the form of a book could be based on this seminar, with the discussion of the presentations enabling progress to be made in this editorial project.
Program
Nota bene : seminars are always held on Thursdays from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm (unless another schedule is specified)

March 4th : Les principes généraux de revues systématiques: la démarche Cochrane
Speaker: Isabelle Boutron, Université Paris Descartes, Centre de Recherches en Epidémiologie et Statistiques. Mandatory registration

- March 25th : Évaluer les innovations publiques : enjeux, concepts et perspectives
Speaker: Mathias Béjean, Université Paris Est Créteil. Mandatory registration
Abstract : Après avoir effectué un panorama historique des théories de l'évaluation, l'exposé se focalisera sur de nouvelles approches de l'évaluation des innovations issues du design et des living labs. Seront notamment abordées les notions d'évaluation d'usage, de données de vie réelle et de "test and learn". Dans une troisième et dernière partie, l'intervention proposera une réflexion sur l'articulation de ces nouvelles approches avec les standards actuels à partir de deux recherches en cours : les technologies de santé et les innovations pédagogiques.
- April 15th : What is evaluation and how does it differ from research ? (session in English)
Speaker : Dana Linnell Wanzer, University of Wisconsin-Stout (USA). Mandatory registration
Abstract : This presentation discusses the findings from a recent article published in the American Journal of Evaluation . The study asked evaluators and researchers to define evaluation and differentiate evaluation from research. Results identified differences, and that evaluators were more likely to differentiate evaluation from research compared to researchers. Overall, this study has important implications for the profession of evaluation and how we communicate evaluation to others.
