EDUCATION Université Laval Ph.D. in Political Science August 2012 Dissertation: Stakeholder Participation in Evaluation: From Concept to Measurement While stakeholder participation is a major trend in the field of program evaluation, the concept is plagued by serious problems that hinder effective communication and knowledge development. A rigorous conceptualization and operationalization of the concept, based on the necessary and sufficient condition logic, is proposed to answer these problems. Using quantitative and mixed methods, an empirical validation of this instrument is then conducted based on a sample of published evaluation cases and a survey of their authors. The results show that the instrument generates scores which are globally reliable and valid, although a revised version appears to generate more valid scores. Advisor: Steve Jacob, Ph.D. (co-advisor: Mathieu Ouimet, Ph.D.) M.A. in Policy Analysis October 2006 Essay: L examen de qualité des évaluations fédérales: une méta évaluation réussie? (The Quality Review of Federal Evaluations: A Case of Successful Meta-evaluation?) This research seeks to assess the quality and utility of a meta-evaluation conducted by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, based on documentary analysis and interviews conducted with federal civil servants. Its aim is to draw lessons from this exercise, in order to guide those in charge of evaluation units of public organizations in Canada and elsewhere who wish to ensure evaluation quality.
