如何更好地开展赋权评估——赋权评估与参与式评估的辨析

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 评估在社会工作的专业化和规范化方面具有重要的角色和地位。第三方评估因其客观主义立场、标准化流程能够提供可靠和可信的核验等特点而被大家广泛接受，但也存在不能对服务进行直接有效的干预和评估滞后性的弊端。赋权评估在此背景下被提出并通过促进参与者能力建设和改进服务项目成效来弥补第三方评估不足。然而，赋权评估在国内发展尚不成熟，评估者容易出现内涵、边界不清等概念理解偏差问题，评估的界限不清，赋权结果也达不到预期效果。在对赋权评估与参与式评估的内涵、目标等维度进行辨析后，提炼出赋权评估核心实践原则，并提出赋权评估的进步研究方向。

Abstract: Evaluation has always played an important rolein the professionalization and standardization of social work. Third-party evaluation is widely accepted because of its objectivity and standardization process that can provide reliable and credible verification, but it also has the disadvantages of not being able to directly and effectively intervene in the service and the delay of evaluation. Empowerment evaluation was proposed in this context and made up for the lack of third-party evaluation by promoting participant capacity building and improving the effectiveness of service projects. However, the development of empowerment evaluation in China is still immature, and evaluators are prone to deviations in conceptual understanding such as original connotation and unclear boundaries, which leads to unclear boundaries with participatory evaluation, and the results of empowerment fail to achieve the expected results. This paper analyzes the connotation and objectives of empowerment evaluation and participatory evaluation, extracts the core practice principles of empowerment evaluation, and proposes further research directions for empowerment evaluation.

Key words: empowerment, empowerment evaluation, participatory evaluation, principles of practice
