Abstract

This article critically explores the evaluation practice of practitioners working in an English development education organization on the basis of an in‐depth longitudinal case study. Ethnographically collected data include observations, documentary analysis and 26 semi‐structured interviews with funders, practitioners and coordinators that capture what they do on a daily basis and how they attribute meaning and value to their practice of evaluation. Social practice theory locates evaluation as an everyday routinized practice. A typology of practitioners' engagement in evaluation practice reveals the importance of the reflective and socio‐relational features in evaluation in order to transform its practice into an enjoyable experience. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
