The 2022-23 AEA MSI Fellows will collectively delve into a comprehensive 20-year bibliometric analysis of culturally responsive and equitable evaluation (CREE). In this session, we will explore the evolution, trends, and impact of evaluation practices that embrace cultural responsiveness and equity. This presentation offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the scholarly contributions, advancements, and challenges encountered in the field over the past two decades.
The AEA MSI Fellows will guide attendees through a journey of knowledge discovery from a range of peer-reviewed articles and open access scholarly publications. Further, the fellows will analyze key themes, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks that have shaped the landscape of culturally responsive and equitable evaluation. This content presentation is designed for researchers, evaluators, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding the progress made in integrating cultural responsiveness and equity into evaluation processes. Participants will leave with a deeper appreciation of the field's evolution, along with actionable insights to inform their own evaluation work and foster positive change.
During this presentation, participants will:
1. Gain an understanding of the historical context and emergence of culturally responsive and equitable evaluation. 2. Examine the methodologies employed in scholarly investigations, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. 3. Identify the prominent theoretical frameworks and models that underpin culturally responsive and equitable evaluation. 4. Discuss the impact and implications of these evaluation practices in diverse contexts, such as education, healthcare, social services, and community development. 5. Reflect on the challenges faced in advancing cultural responsiveness and equity in evaluation and identify potential avenues for future research and practice.
