Wisler, Andria and Celina Del Felice, ed. Peace Education Evaluation: Learning from Experience and Exploring Prospects. Charlotte, NC: Information Age Press, 2012.
Peace education has grown as shown by an increasing number of publications, programs, events, and funding mechanisms. Educators implementing peace education programming often lack the tools and capacities for evaluation and thus pay scant regard to this step in program management. Our first intention is to offer a critical reflection on theoretical and methodological issues regarding evaluation applied to peace education interventions. Our second objective is to investigate existing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods practices to identify what needs related to evaluation persist among practitioners. Promising practices will be presented from different settings among diverse cultural contexts. The third objective is to propose ideas of evaluation, novel techniques for experimentation, and creative adaptation of tools from related fields, in order to offer pragmatic and philosophical substance to peace educators’ “next moves” and inspire the agenda for continued exploration.
