“Who decides what criteria are important to consider in exploring the outcomes of conversation approaches? A participatory health research study”

Background: One of the most devastating consequences of aphasia is the disruption to normal conversation. The Conversation Partner Programme emphasises communicative competence and life participation. Currently there is no recognised system for evaluating this intervention. Following policy imperatives for patient and public involvement, it is important to include service users in the development of evaluation criteria. However, people with aphasia are often excluded from such research and service development initiatives because of their communication disability. This study was designed to include people with aphasia and other key stakeholders as co-researchers in the development of evaluation criteria for a Conversation Partner Programme.Aims: To describe the multi-perspectival co-generation of Conversation Partner Programme evaluation criteria using a participatory research approach.Methods & Procedures: Following a pilot study, the generation and analysis of qualitative data involved a Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach based on the interpretive paradigm. Using purposeful sampling participants (n = 20) included: people with aphasia (n = 5); speech and language therapists (n = 5); speech and language therapy graduates and undergraduates (n = 9) and university coordinator (n = 1). Through (n = 18) individual and inter-stakeholder data generation episodes (PLA focus groups and interviews) using participatory techniques (Flexible Brainstorming, Card Sort, Direct Ranking, Seasonal Calendar), evaluation criteria were identified. The principles of thematic analysis guided the co-analysis of data with participants. Data generated in Ireland were presented to an international inter-stakeholder group at Connect, UK, for preliminary exploration of transferability of findings.Outcomes & Results: Conversation Partner Programme evaluation criteria agreed and prioritised by co-researchers in order of importance included: (1) shared understanding of structure, (2) clarity about the programme, (3) agreed evaluation mechanism, (4) linking with other organisations, and (5) feedback. “Shared Understanding of Structure” was ranked the most important criterion and related to the nature and number of participants, opportunities for group meetings, socialising, and stakeholder interaction. “Feedback”, the criterion ranked least important, detailed responsibilities about summarising programme experiences and sharing this information between stakeholders.Conclusions: People with aphasia and other key stakeholders were meaningfully involved in the identification of evaluation criteria for a Conversation Partner Programme. The outcomes of this collaborative work bridge the gap between policy imperatives around involvement and actual practice and will impact the design, delivery, and evaluation of the programme for all stakeholders. Findings will be of interest to professionals in this clinical area and to those exploring innovative methodologies to include marginalised service users, especially people with communication disabilities in research.

Study on the Development of Evaluation Criteria of Geological Heritage and the Application of Basic Resource Survey

This study is to develop the criteria for setting up scientific and quantitative evaluation of the values of Korea's geological heritage sites. The evaluation was made with a checklist on eight locations around Yeongwol-gun, Kangwon-do, which had good accessibility and various geological periods and rocks. Reliability was measured with evaluators' agreement. the result was a satisfying 0.9. The analysis of evaluation results was applied to the judgment of conservation values of geological heritage sites. As analysis results can provide more information on the judgment of geological heritage values and basic resources surveys, emphasis must be placed on the development of more diverse and concrete evaluation items.

“Ye shall know them by their fruits”

PurposeThis paper aims to report the continental European jurisprudence origins and Roman Catholic social teaching parallels of post‐World War II Japanese industrial relations practices. It focuses on the modes of social relation in the Japanese legal employment ecology of the post‐World War II enterprise and is designed to aid understanding of Japanese management theory and practice. An additional purpose of the paper is to facilitate development of evaluative criteria for authentic adoption of Japanese management practices to other national settings.Design/methodology/approachThe approach used is an analysis of Japanese sources using industrial relations theory to explore the “working rules” governing post‐World War II Japanese employment relations. This method, grounded in a source‐comparative method, results in the derivation of comparative employment ecology models of the USA, German, and Japanese enterprise. Against this background, the potential evangelization of the American workplace is discussed in reference to Roman Catholic social teaching.FindingsSuccess in deploying Japanese management modes of production is contingent upon adaptive appropriation of their modes of social relations within the enterprise. Insofar as the latter derive from and/or reflect continental European jurisprudence and Roman Catholic social teaching, their deployment in other nations – such as the USA – becomes, first, easier to comprehend in principle (not being subject to Japanese concepts), and, second, a potentially potent form of workplace evangelization reflecting continental European industrial relations norms.Originality/valueAuthentic deployment of the Japanese management employment ecology is a form of “evangelization” of the US workplace. Furthermore, it asserts that this constitutes a potential evangelization toward continental European sensibility regarding employment rules, closely related to Roman Catholic social teaching.

A collaborative process for evaluating new educational technologies

PurposeThis paper seeks to propose a collaborative process for evaluating, piloting and selecting, new and emerging educational technologies. It aims to promote discussion about how such an evaluative process can be inclusive of interdisciplinary stakeholders and envision the actual application of these technologies in real teaching and learning contexts across disciplines.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology applied in the piloting and evaluation of new educational technologies involves the design and identification of learning activities, the development of evaluation criteria which map to the goals of the learning activities and stakeholders' needs, and the incorporation of the technology‐enabled activities into the total course design.FindingsEvaluation methodologies that involve interdisciplinary stakeholders collaborating on a software pilot expose participants to multiple perspectives and divergent views. The evaluation of new educational technologies within a teaching and learning context is more effective in exposing the benefits and weaknesses of the technology than a conventional software pilot.Research limitations/implicationsThe new educational technologies evaluation methodology proposed in this paper has only been fully applied in three product pilots and is still in its developmental stage. The research is limited to the evaluation of educational software, not the implementation of new educational technologies.Practical implicationsThe re‐iterative and time‐consuming process of piloting and evaluating new educational technologies within a course context is one in which academics require pedagogical, technological and administrative support. This paper presents a methodology that ensures each of these varieties of support is included.Originality/valueWith the rapid expansion of new, sometimes costly educational technologies, universities can benefit from employing evaluation techniques based within an educational context, and ensure that their investments in these tools make an effective contribution to the enhancement of teaching and learning.

Application of Acoustic Emission in Control of High-Pressure Pipe Overstraining

The article describes the application of AE technique in control and evaluation of the pipe overstraining process. The trials of overstraining were conducted according to a programme of pipe loading with internal pressure, developed and adjusted to the examined pipe material. In the studies two systems of acoustic emission were used, viz. PAC Mistras 2001 and Vallen AMSY. The procedure adopted in the development of evaluation criteria based on an analysis of the recorded acoustic events was described. Next, the criteria of evaluation were presented. The effectiveness of the applied method, the validity of the adopted criteria, and the consistency of the obtained quantitative results were checked during tests performed by other NDT methods. A comparative analysis was made to serve as a complementary tool in final evaluation of the pipe overstraining process done by AE technique.

Implementing strategic plans through strategic program evaluation

Strategic Program Evaluation (SPE) is proposed as a method for linking the choice elements of corporate strategy—missions, objectives, strategies, goals, programs etc.—to ensure that strategic plans are implemented. Such a use of SPE requires the exposition of the specific relationships among the strategic choice elements and the development of evaluation criteria that can be used to develop a program structure that effectively implements higher level strategic decisions.

Use of Delphi methods in higher education

This paper is concerned with describing the principal uses of the Delphi method in higher education. These areas of use are found to be (1) searching out goals and objectives, (2) campus and curriculum planning, and (3) development of evaluation criteria. Important to understanding the use of Delphi in a higher education setting are the methodological adaptations that have been employed. Delphi as used in technological forecasting requires modification when used in the generation and assessment of goals. Three principal problems in methodology are examined here. They are (1) selection of the panel, (2) the character of round one and (3) the consequences of feedback.
