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 essential organization in Canada’s measurement and evaluation landscape.
Over the course of 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, the theme of theories and practices as a space for action seems to us to be unifying. Theories because they are a whole, a system, a vision that observes and guides action. Practices because they involve processes of transforming 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” aims to be a vision firmly rooted in the field to highlight advances in measurement and evaluation, in training as well as in various application settings.
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 focus your attention on theories, practices, and action. Other new features and surprises await you as we celebrate this 40th anniversary.
Researchers, practitioners, professionals, students, and stakeholders from various fields of measurement and evaluation—as well as from different disciplines (health, science, the humanities, the arts, etc.)—are therefore invited to present their theoretical reflections, share insights into their practices, and discuss the actions they are taking, in both 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, with no simultaneous interpretation provided.
