Evaluation Review, 1983, vol. 7, issue 1, 110-125

Abstract: this study investigated the effect that several key contextual variables had on the information needs and uses by a national sample of school boards and administrators. The factors included (I) the quality of the decision to be made, (2) the amount of personal conflict involved, (3) the content of the program, and (4) whether respondents were board members or administrators. Responses to questions about simulated evaluation vignettes indicated that these factors affected the need for more time and information. and from whom people would want to obtain more information. A wareness of these influencers should help school evaluators assist decision makers.
