All program-oriented approaches share the strength of focusing the evaluator on some key characteristics of a program. They also share the weakness of perhaps causing the evaluator to focus unduly on those elements and, hence, to ignore other program effects, desirable or undesirable. Do you think the strength is worth the drawbacks? That is, would you rather focus on specific program characteristics (objectives or elements identified in a logic model or program theory) or would you rather try a form of goal-free evaluation, evaluating the program with no knowledge of its intended purposes? Justify your choice. Ch. 6
