Educational Evaluation: A Basis for, or a Legitimation of, Educational Policy.
Lundgren, Ulf P.
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v23 n2 p31-45 1979
This article discusses the function and purpose of educational evaluation. The main standpoint is that different evaluation approaches are presented as scientific improvements but mirror mainly the objective functions of education in the society and the need within the state apparatus for a scientific legitimation of various political decisions.
