本文介绍了一套基于证据的原则，用于在评估知识由评估者和利益相关者协作产生的情况下指导评估实践。这项研究的数据分为四个阶段：两个试点阶段，探索制定一套原则的可取性；一项在线问卷调查，利用 320 名执业评估人员的专业知识来确定促进或阻碍评估协作方法 (CAE) 成功的维度、因素或特征；最后是验证阶段，涉及参与主阶段的 58 名评估者的子样本。这里介绍的原则源于在各种评估环境和背景下从事 CAE 的评估人员的经验以及他们学到的教训。它们被认为是相互关联的并且在时间上松散排序。我们预计这些原则会随着时间的推移而发展，因为评估者会更多地了解上下文中的协作方法。考虑到这一点，我们提出问题供考虑，以激发进一步的探究。
This article introduces a set of evidence-based principles to guide evaluation practice in contexts where evaluation knowledge is collaboratively produced by evaluators and stakeholders. The data from this study evolved in four phases: two pilot phases exploring the desirability of developing a set of principles; an online questionnaire survey that drew on the expertise of 320 practicing evaluators to identify dimensions, factors or characteristics that enhance or impede success in collaborative approaches in evaluation (CAE); and finally a validation phase involving a subsample of 58 evaluators who participated in the main phase. The principles introduced here stem from the experiences of evaluators who have engaged in CAE in a wide variety of evaluation settings and contexts and the lessons they have learned. They are understood to be interconnected and loosely temporally ordered. We expect the principles to evolve over time, as evaluators learn more about collaborative approaches in context. With this in mind, we pose questions for consideration to stimulate further inquiry.
