“…Even so, it is important to rec-ognize the other evaluative frameworks that might also be incorporated into CFICE at the macro level of evaluative analysis. Above all, it is important to allow a unity among macro evaluative frameworks to develop organically for CFICE, in whatever terminological language best typifies that process, whether it be transformative learning (Vogelgesang, 2009), theory of change (Weiss, 1995;Funnell and Rogers, 2011;Rogers, 2008;Sullivan et al, 2002;LynchCerullo and Cooney, 2011) action research (Abraham and Purkayastha, 2012;Pettit, 2012;Brydon-Miller and Greenwood, 2003) developmental evaluation (Gamble, 2010;Patton, 2011) or combinations thereof (Hargreaves and Podem, 2012;Cook, 2006). Many of these have been applied within a specific service learning framework in Canada (Nelson and Stroink, 2010) while others have emerged from community based practice or engagement in extension departments at land grant universities in the USA (Chaskin, 2009;Stoecker, 2009;University of Wisconsin, 2012 Furthermore, in addition to these frameworks which might be regarded as competing schools of thought in evaluation, there are theoretical hybrids which can easily coexist or be incorporated into theory of change evaluations, such as complexity theory (Dyson and Todd, 2012;Whitmore et al, 2011: 157;Snowden and Boone, 2007: 4;Ramalingham et al, 2008;Patton, 2011;Saunders et al, 2005).…”
