Social Construction of Reality - Bad Request

concept also “refers to changes in attitude, thinking, and behavior that result from
participating in an evaluation” (Patton, 2007). A resonance between the data for this
study and accepted theory supports the conclusion that The School District is poised to
begin deliberately providing for process use.
The particular, context-bound benefits of process use, as articulated by
stakeholders and detailed above, are noticeably related to three of the four recognized
indicators of process use: a) enhancing shared understandings; b) furthering the program
intervention; c) increasing engagement; and d) program and organizational development
(Patton, 1997; King, 2007; Harnar & Preskill, 2007). It is surprising and perhaps even
ironic that furthering the program intervention did not surface during the course of the
study, as one might have expected given the primary intended user’s concern, born out
through the analysis of archival data, that there was often little evidence that people were
functioning beyond the ground level (Long interview, March 18). Given this, one might
have expected that the only process-use that would have emerged (furthering program
intervention) was the only one that did not.
