The Art of Educational Evaluation: A Personal View

By Elliot W. Eisner

First published in 1985, The Art of Educational Evaluation traces the evolution of the author's thinking about both educational evaluation and curriculum from the mid-1960s through the early period of the 1980s. Eisner questions some of the more hallowed assumptions about educational planning and educational evaluation and provides a perspective on both curriculum and evaluation that has been influenced by his work in the fine arts. The book provides a fresh perspective with which to view the nature of evaluation and curriculum planning.
