Age of Expansion and Integration (jan 1, 1983 – 12h 55min, jan 9, 2018 y)

Description:

- In the early 1980’s, evaluation struggled under the Reagan administration. Cut
backs in funding for evaluation took place and emphasis on cost cutting arose.
According to Weiss (1998), funding for new social initiatives were drastically cut. By
the early 1990’s, evaluation had rebounded with the economy. The field expanded and
became more integrated. Professional associations were developed along with evaluation
standards. In addition, the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation
developed criteria for personnel evaluation.
