Event website
In this year of the 40th study session 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 enjoy this multifaceted city and celebrate with us the evolution of this iconic and essential group in the Canadian measurement and evaluation landscape.
Over these 40 years of work, exchanges, debates, and achievements, the study sessions have addressed a wide range of topics: from political issues to instrumentalization, including various theories and methodologies. In order to highlight the richness of the aspects surrounding measurement and evaluation, but above all to emphasize the collective dynamism of this field, we believe that the theme of theories and practices as a place of action is a unifying one. 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 changing. Action because it is synonymous with acting, inducing change, guiding, and progressing. 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, and in various areas 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 focus your attention on theories, practices, and action. Other new features and surprises await you on the occasion of this 40th anniversary.
Researchers, practitioners, professionals, students, and stakeholders from various fields of measurement and evaluation and different disciplines (health, science, humanities, arts, etc.) are therefore invited to present their theoretical reflections, share their practices, and discuss their actions, in French and English. In short, to participate in the evolution of ADMEE so that it may continue to thrive for many years to come.
Please note that presentations will be given in the language in which they were submitted, without simultaneous translation.
