Bessell, Ann G.; Deese, William B.; Medina, Adriana L.
American Journal of Evaluation, v28 n4 p558-569 2007
Program evaluators need methods that can be used in a variety of situations to help gather data. Photolanguage is one such technique that uses black-and-white photographs to elicit responses from individuals. It is particularly useful in situations where the respondents may give restricted or only minimal data. This article provides the step-by-step process for implementation of Photolanguage, explores the possibility of uses for Photolanguage as a tool for small-group evaluation, and supplies data showing its benefits as a method of evaluation. (Contains 5 figures.)
