Cumhuriyet Döneminde Türkiye’de Psikoloji ile Psikolojik Danışma ve Rehberlik Mesleklerinin Tarihsel Gelişimi
Authors: ŞAHİN Cengiz , YEŞİL Aleyna 
Published: April 2023

Psikoloji, insan davranışlarını, zihin ve gelişim süreçlerini, duygularını bilimsel yöntemlere dayanarak açıklamaya ve anlamaya yönelik çalışmaların gerçekleştirildiği temel bir bilim dalıdır. Temel teorik bilimden uygulamalı bilime kadar geniş bir alana sahiptir ve içerisinde elliden fazla alt alanı bulundurmaktadır. Türk kültürü, geçmişten bu zamana psikolojik yardım hizmetleri anlayışına ve uygulamasına yabancı bir kültür değildir. Ruhsal sorunların psikolojik yöntemlerle tedavisi yaklaşımı, Türk toplumunda çok eskilerden fark edilmiş ve uygulanmış, insanın beden sağlığının yanında ve ruh sağlığıyla da yakından ilgilenilmiştir. Örneğin; 8. yüzyılın başlarında o zamanlarda akıl hastası olarak tanımlanan bireylerin tedavisi için hastanelerde özel bölümler kurulmuş, 9. yüzyılda müzikle psikolojik tedavi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Çağının ünlü, büyük Türk bilgini ve hekimi İbni Sina (980-1037), akıl hastalığını insan beynindeki bozuklukların bir sonucu olarak değerlendirmiştir. Selçuklu ve Osmanlı devletinde akıl hastalarının tedavisiyle özel olarak ilgilenilmiş, hastanelerde bu hastalar için özel bölümler açılmış ve ayrı hastaneler kurulmuştur. Cumhuriyet dönemine gelindiğinde, dünyadaki gelişmelere paralel olarak önemli gelişmeler kaydedilmiştir.
Bu çalışmada cumhuriyet döneminde Türkiye’de psikoloji ile psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik alanının tarihsel gelişimi ele alınmıştır. Psikoloji ile psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik biliminin bütünsellik içerisinde ele alınmasının yanı sıra bu disiplinlerin belirli bir ülkedeki gelişimini incelemek ve gelişimsel özelliklerini ortaya koymak daha ileri bir bilimsel gelişmişliğe ulaşmak açısından önemli görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda konuyla ilgili yayımlanmış çalışmalardan ve resmi dokümanlardan yararlanılarak Türkiye’de psikoloji ile rehberlik ve psikolojik danışma hizmetlerinin gelişimi ve güncel durumu genel hatlarıyla değerlendirilmiştir.
A Practical Framework and Model for Promoting Cost-Inclusive Evaluations
Authors: Persaud Nadini 
Published: April 2023

Background: Cost studies are an important component of any serious professional evaluation. Regardless of whether an evaluation is conducted in the public or private sector, decision-makers want answers to two fundamental questions: (1) Is the program, project, or investment worthwhile? and (2) Can funds be used in a better way? The answers to both questions rely on the use of cost analysis techniques. However, according to the literature, most evaluations do not include any type of cost study (see Christie & Fleischer, 2010) and when studies are included, very few are of high quality and rigor (see Madsen, Eddleston, Hansen, & Konradsen, 2017). This may in part be as a result of the relatively limited emphasis placed on this important topic in the evaluation-specific literature, coupled with the reality that many evaluators lack expertise to conduct cost analysis studies.
Purpose: Given the limited use of cost studies in professional evaluations to assess actual program merit/worth, this paper presents a practical framework/model to help evaluators understand fundamental issues that must be considered when thinking about some form of cost-inclusive evaluation.
Setting: Not Applicable.
Intervention: Not Applicable.
Research Design: External desk research was used to ascertain the extent to which cost analysis is discussed in the evaluation literature and the reasons highlighted for underuse. This review provided the foundation for developing the practical framework/model presented in this paper for promoting cost-inclusive evaluation.
Data Collection and Analysis: Not Applicable.
Findings: Cost analysis, which can considerably enrich professional evaluations, is currently quite underused in the evaluation profession. Notable progress has been made over the last 15 years with government agencies around the globe taking the lead to promote cost analysis. However, most independent evaluators are still failing to measure, report, and analyze costs because many do not understand the fundamentals of cost studies. This paper promotes cost-inclusive evaluation by providing evaluators with a framework/model to help them understand important issues in cost analysis.
We Now Have the Tools and Infrastructure to Hold Donors and NGOs in International Development to their Own Legal and Professional Standards
Authors: Lempert David H. 
Published: April 2023

Background & Purpose: This article summarizes and adds to the tools and infrastructure that the author has developed to hold donors and NGOs in international development to their own international, legal and professional standards, following a call in 2008 for organizations to find objective ways to hold those organizations to compliance with international law and professional principles.

Setting: Global.

Intervention: Not applicable.

Research Design: The article presents 12 indicator tools (in the form of legal elements tests) recently published elsewhere and a new litmus test tool presented here for the first time for quick evaluations of projects using an inductive approach (looking at project logic), explaining how these tools relate to each other and how they can be used together.

After introducing these indicators, the piece then compiles and summarizes the results for several types of organizations to reveal an overall picture of which donors and NGOs are failing, which are succeeding, and what this now objectively verifies is happening in the world of international development.

Data Collection and Analysis: Not applicable.

Findings: The piece offers some reflections on the world that we live in where international standards and universal principles are not applied, where legal codifications for international development are not enforced, and where current international development approaches are leading to unsustainability, conflict, and homogenization (suppression of human diversity and adaptation) that the standards were designed to help avoid. The author’s approaches, overall, offer the larger blueprint for an infrastructure of “development” work to promote universal legal principles, as well as a larger set of reforms for changes in social and political institutions and systems in the developed world for making these changes a reality.

Keywords: sustainability, dependency, democracy, development, aid, capacity building, international relations, international law, donors, UNDP, World Bank, European Commission, NGOs, foundations.
An Exploratory Study on Public Sector Program Evaluation Practices and Culture in Barbados, Belize, Guyana and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Where Are We? Where Do We Need To Go?
Authors: Persaud Nadini 
Published: April 2023

Background: Little is known about the status of program
evaluation culture and practice in the English Speaking Commonwealth Caribbean (ESCC). This study
examined the extent of evaluation culture and practice
in four small Caribbean nations: Barbados, Belize, Guyana, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to learn about public sector program evaluation practices and culture in these four countries.

Setting: Public sector agencies in the four countries.

Intervention: NA

Research Design: Cross-sectional survey

Data Collection and Analysis: A total of eighty-eight public sector officials participated in a cross-sectional survey study.

Findings: The research highlighted that while program evaluation is being practiced in the public sector in all four countries, the extent of practice varied among the countries. One noticeable factor that affected program evaluation practices was the financial costs associated with program evaluations. This problem was particularly evident in Guyana where program evaluations were conducted primarily to satisfy funding requirements. However, despite the variation in practices, all four countries recognized that program evaluation is a valuable and important activity. Solutions proposed by the study participants to build a more vibrant public-sector program evaluation culture included making program evaluation culture a part of organizational culture, building organizational monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity, and making program evaluation a regular mandatory public sector activity.
Donald T. Campbell’s Evolutionary Perspective and its Implications for Evaluation
Authors: Picciotto Robert 
Published: April 2023

Background: Donald T. Campbell, a scientist, humanist, and generalist, left an indelible mark on the evaluation discipline through his methodological work. He is less well known within the evaluation community for his landmark contributions to biology and philosophy. Yet, the evolutionary epistemology that he pioneered has significant implications for evaluation.

Purpose: This article examines the relevance of Donald T. Campbell’s blind variation and natural selection approach to evaluation theory, including an elucidation of its basic logic, its social remit as a discipline and trans-discipline, and its summative and formative functions. It also sketches in broad strokes the implications of evolutionary thinking for evaluation practice, including natural and artificial selection, ontogeny, phylogeny, co-evolution, and feedback. Finally, it comments on Campbell’s Experimenting Society vision and the ongoing craze for randomised evaluations in development through an evolutionary lens.

Setting: Not applicable.

Intervention: Not applicable.

Research Design: Not applicable.

Findings: Not applicable.
Adopting Tools from Cost and Management Accounting to Improve the Manner in Which Costs in Social Programs are Analyzed and Evaluated
Authors: Persaud Nadini 
Published: April 2023

Background: Managing programs in an environment where financial resources are limited, budget cuts are a reality, and external funding is now fiercely competitive, necessitate that both program administrators and program evaluators have a better understanding of program costs, so that financial resources can be optimized for societal good. This requires serious analysis of cost behavior and a proper understanding of the relationship between a program's variable costs and fixed costs since these costs have implications for clients fees and the number of clients that can be served. These types of analyses are quite routine in the profitability sector, but are considerably underutilized in other sectors.
Purpose: This paper will explain how several common strategic management tools from cost and management accounting can be used to present more meaningful and useful cost information, so that social program decision-making and cost-inclusive evaluations can be enhanced.
Setting: N/A.

Intervention: N/A.
Research Design: A desk review was utilized for the discussion of the cost and management accounting concepts and tools outlined in this paper. The paper illustrates how the toolkit of economic evaluation tools can be enhanced by adding tools from cost and management accounting to enhance strategic decision-making.
Findings: This paper concludes by noting that program sustainability must be the new name of the game. This necessitates that program administrators and program evaluators start to analyze and evaluate program costs differently. Much work is needed to move towards a different philosophy of thinking with regards to program costs. Program administrators and program evaluators must therefore rise to the challenge and embrace cost analytical methodologies from other disciplines since the use of such methodologies can be beneficial to all concerned.
Evaluating Public Participation in a Project Plan Review: A Nigerian Case Study
Authors: Badiora Adewumi I. , Bako Abdullateef I. , Olaleye Daniel O. 
Published: April 2023

Background: Rooted in national and international laws regarding project planning and implementation is public participation. However, it is unclear whether public projects are enabling sufficient public input or are likely to be able to meet future management planning needs; particularly in developing countries.
Purpose: We assessed people’s experiences when contributing to a public project decision-making in order to understand the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threat to effective public participation.
Setting: We conducted this assessment with a sample of people who contributed to a public project planning and review in a Nigerian city.
Intervention: Not applicable.
Research design: Appraisal criteria are based on the principles of public participation as laid down in the law and consists of the following elements: respondents’ profile, their involvement in the project; purpose of participation, availability of information, feedback mechanism and overall view of the participatory planning process. Information collected consists both quantitative and qualitative data and these were analysed using descriptive statistics and narrative techniques of reporting.
Findings: Findings show that public participation was far below the minimum requirement of the law and not demographically representative. The most important reason respondents participated was to protect an interest in land, although some saw participation as a democratic right. Results show that attending public hearings was the commonest way of participation in a project review. Nevertheless, three-quarters of the respondents thought the final plan did not take their observations and advice into consideration. Respondents confirmed that the process was reasonably notified with opportunities for consultation meetings. Nevertheless, findings suggest some bias actions as significant proportions of respondents held absence of transparency and political interference flawed the project planning and review process.

Learning Lessons for Evaluating Complexity Across the Nexus: A Meta-Evaluation of Environmental Projects
Authors: Sheate William Robert , Twigger-Ross Clare , Papadopoulou Liza , Sadauskis Rolands , White Owen , Orr Paula , Eales Richard 
Published: April 2023

Background: A major gap in environmental policy making is learning lessons from past interventions and in integrating the lessons from evaluations that have been undertaken. Institutional memory of such evaluations often resides externally to government, in evaluation practitioner contractors who undertake commissioned evaluations on behalf of government departments.
Purpose: The aims were to learn the lessons from past policy evaluations, understand the barriers and enablers to successful evaluations, to explore the value of different types of approaches and methods used for evaluating complexity, and how evaluations were used in practice.
Setting: A meta-evaluation of 23 environmental evaluations undertaken by Collingwood Environmental Planning Ltd (CEP), London, UK was undertaken by CEP staff under the auspices of CECAN (the Centre for Evaluation of Complexity Across the Nexus – a UK Research Councils funded centre, coordinated by the University of Surrey, UK). The research covered water, environment and climate change nexus issues, including evaluations of flood risk, biodiversity, landscape, land use, climate change, catchment management, community resilience, bioenergy, and European Union (EU) Directives.
Intervention: Not applicable.
Research design: A multiple embedded case study design was adopted, selecting 23 CEP evaluation cases from across a 10-year period (2006-2016). Four overarching research questions were posed by the meta-evaluation and formed the basis for more specific evaluation questions, answered on the basis of documented project final reports and supplemented by interviews with CEP project managers. Thematic analysis was used to draw out common themes from across the case categories.
Findings: Policy context invariably framed the complex evaluations; as environmental policy has been spread beyond the responsibility of government to encompass multiple stakeholders, so policy around nexus issues was often found to be in a state of constant flux. Furthermore, an explicit theory of change was only often first elaborated as part of the evaluation process, long after the policy intervention had already been initiated. A better understanding of the policy context, its state of flux or stability as well as clarity of policy intervention’s objectives (and theory of change) could help significantly in designing policy evaluations that can deliver real value for policy makers. Evaluations have other valuable uses aside from immediate instrumental use in revising policy and can be tailored to maximise those values where such potential impact is recognised. We suggest a series of questions that practitioners and commissioners could usefully ask themselves when starting out on a new complex policy evaluation.
