Abstract

The use of the constructivist paradigm to undertake so called `fourth generation evaluation' (FGE) has been promoted by its initial proponents (Guba and Lincoln) since the late 1980s. Despite this its use is still rarely favoured over the conventional positivist scientific approach.This paper explores the applicability of some of the main principles of FGE in relation to an evaluation undertaken by the authors.
