Qualitative Inquiry in Evaluation: From Theory to Practice explores and explains the role of qualitative inquiry in the most prominent approaches to evaluation. It describes the key practice considerations for evaluators engaging in qualitative inquiry and how to incorporate these considerations into evaluation approaches and designs.    The volume editors have shaped a book that brings together evaluation theory with practice in an accessible text that is meant to serve as a practical introduction to qualitative methods for students and new evaluators, and as a reference and resource for practicing evaluators. This book offers both a theoretical and a practical lens with which to view qualitative inquiry in evaluation. Part 1 covers how qualitative inquiry fits into major evaluation approaches.
