Youth participatory evaluation (YPE) engages young people in the evaluation process. Over the last 20 years, the field has emerged, but more work is needed as evaluators explore the potential for youth participation within their own evaluation practices. This article describes a practice-oriented matrix for visualizing and conceptualizing the role of young people in evaluation. In this article, we describe the matrix, provide examples from practice to illustrate its potential, and raise considerations for the field, including the role of adults in YPE, and the benefits and limitations for youth and for the evaluation process. We conclude with potential future directions of YPE for the field.

让年轻人参与评估的实践矩阵：可能性和考虑

青年参与式评估 (YPE) 让年轻人参与评估过程。在过去的 20 年中，该领域已经出现，但随着评估人员在他们自己的评估实践中探索青年参与的潜力，还需要做更多的工作。本文描述了一个以实践为导向的矩阵，用于可视化和概念化年轻人在评估中的作用。在本文中，我们描述了该矩阵，提供了实践中的示例来说明其潜力，并提出对该领域的考虑，包括成人在 YPE 中的作用，以及对青年和评估过程的好处和局限性。我们总结了 YPE 在该领域的潜在未来发展方向。
