Basic Considerations in Assessing the Validity of Evaluation Designs.
Lindvall, C. Mauritz; Nitko, Anthony J.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v3 n4 p49-60 Jul-Aug 1981

Goals of evaluation are the identity of major components of inferences and specific validity concerns. Design problems may be resolved by creatively utilizing features of specific evaluations in designing unique conditions that permit valid inferences. (DWH)
