Hal S. says that the effectiveness of programs must be measured. HMMMM...
I'm certianly not an expert on this area, however we are in the midst of a
shift in the scientific world view. We are going from a world of
measuring things to a world of measuring relationships (not easy to do).
Fritjof Capra (I think) said something about what is most measurable is
what is real - so maybe our quest to measure is to find out what is real -
some assurance that we are doing the right thing?
The Hiezenberg (sp?) Principle says when we measure we alter - so what
does this say about evaluation?
