Event Website
As we mark the 40th annual conference of the Association for the Development of Educational Evaluation Methodologies (ADMEE-Canada), it is with great pleasure that we invite youto Montreal on November 14, 15, and 16, 2018. Come experience this multifaceted city and join us in celebrating the evolution of this iconic and indispensable organization in the Canadian field of measurement and evaluation.
Throughout these 40 years of work, exchanges, debates, and achievements, the study sessions have addressed a wide range of topics: from political issues to instrumentalization, encompassing various theories and methodologies. To highlight the richness of the aspects surrounding measurement and evaluation—but above all to underscore the collective dynamism of this field—we believe the theme of theories and practices as a space for action serves as a unifying concept. Theories, because they form a whole, a system, and a vision that observes and guides action. Practices, because they involve processes of transformation in both the environment and people, and because they are unique, complex, and ever-changing. Action, because it is synonymous with taking action, bringing about change, guiding, and making progress. The theme “Theories and Practices of Measurement and Evaluation at the Heart of Action” is intended to be a vision firmly rooted in the field, reflecting advances in measurement and evaluation, in training as well as in various settings of application.
In addition, we are once again holding a pre-conference this year, which will take place on Wednesday, November 14, at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Several workshops related to the theme will help you explore theories, practices, and action. Other new features and surprises await you as part of this 40th anniversary celebration.
Researchers, practitioners, professionals, students, and stakeholders from various fields of measurement and evaluation and from different disciplines (health, sciences, humanities, arts, etc.) are therefore invited to present their theoretical reflections, share insights into their practices, and discuss the actions they are taking—in French and English. In short, to contribute to the evolution of ADMEE so that it may continue to thrive for many years to come.
Please note that presentations will be delivered in the language in which they were submitted, without simultaneous interpretation.
