This roundtable session addressed converting scholarly research for purposes of developing a formative and/or summative evaluation design, taking as an example my own quasi-experimental mixed methods study conducted in Chile, South America. The study compared civic engagement outcomes among post-graduate adults at private for-profit universities and traditional public universities in Chile as a means to promote intentional civic engagement outcomes for adults. Spiral Dynamic Theory (SDT) served as the substantive theory (Greene, 2007) used in the inquiry because it offered a framework from which to guide evaluation research within an environment of dynamically shifting worldviews among stakeholders. The session sought to garner feedback and recommendations—from leaders in the field of Evaluation—on how best to utilize this innovative type of futures studies framework to enhance evaluation design, facilitate data collection and analysis, and guide the production of meta-inferences achievable via this mixed methods approach.
