Exploring Evaluation Wicked Issues with the HE Sector

This project will bring together colleagues from within the Evaluation Collective to collate and respond to evaluation ‘wicked issues’ (Rittel & Webber 1973) posed by staff or students.

SCoLPP is a collaborative partner to the project led by Sheffield Hallam University as part of the Evaluation Collective.

The Evaluation Collective have been successful in obtaining funding to complete a QAA Collaborative Enhancement Project. Through the publication of issues and possible solutions in a digital Zine, this project aims is to help the higher education sector design better interventions which will lead to better learning experiences and enhanced longer-term student outcomes. Associated outcomes of the CEP are:

  • The HE sector feels listened to and supported in their struggles to embed effective evaluation in a variety of HE spaces
  • The HE sector accesses practical solutions to wicked evaluation issues within their contexts.
  • The HE sector builds confidence with evaluation practices.
