We believe that this approach can and should be broadly implemented as a part of evaluation science, because in the end this will give development practitioners a much better idea of what works, what doesn't and, perhaps most importantly, why.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree in economics, health policy, management, evaluation science, political science, or related fields by the start of appointment.
Classes are offered on Research in Science Education, Policy and Practice in Science Education, the Science Curriculum, Science Assessment and Evaluation, Science and Environmental Education in Informal Contexts, Learning in Science, and the Theory and Practice of Environmental Education.

However, the increasing uptake of digital technologies in research and practice can raise a new set of ethical challenges (e.g., Eccles, Damodaran, Olphert, Hardill, & Gilhooly, 2013; Greenhalgh, Stones, & Swinglehurst, 2014), and the evaluation science for such complex, socially situated systems often lags behind the rapid technology development.

A range of evaluation methods has been developed in econometrics and the evaluation sciences to infer causality from observational data.
This can include internal processes that use funded research projects as 'living evaluation labs,' supporting working groups to expand the theoretical foundations for evaluation, or having explicit calls for proposals on evaluation sciences.
Colleagues in health services and other evaluation sciences can assist with this phase, and also have a responsibility to engage with discovery, development, and delivery phases to ensure that assessment data are being communicated to investigators to inform research in development.
We aim to draw on a wide variety of relevant disciplines, such as evaluation, management science, behavior change, political science, and engineering.
CASCADE-SEA stands for computer supported curriculum analysis, design and evaluation for science education in Africa.
