Appraising Qualitative Evaluations

Abstract

Wiess (1967) is considered as the first publication on evaluation utilisation (Dassah & Uken, 2007). 2 The post-truth era is characterised by circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal beliefs. The post-truth world is argued to have emerged because of decline in social capital, growing economic inequality, declining trust in science, and a fractioned media platform.
