چکیده (انگلیسی):

This exploratory study investigated the prevalence of single evaluation methods courses in doctoral
education leadership programs. Analysis of websites of 132 leading U.S. university programs found 62
evaluation methods courses in 54 programs. Content analysis of 49 course catalog descriptions resulted in
five categories: survey, planning and implementation, research and inquiry, leadership and school
improvement, special approaches, and original student research. Most often elective and outside the
required curriculum, evaluation methods appear to hold a consistent but secondary place in doctoral
leadership training, despite its applicability in education.
