ABSTRACT

In this paper, we will describe, justify and critique a participatory approach that we have developed in order to evaluate the success of a participatory research project that was exploring ways of making museum learning experiences more inclusive for adults who have a diverse range of access preferences. Because we were researching in a unique space at the intersection of inclusive museum education, inclusive technologies and participatory research, we have needed to develop an original evaluation approach, informed by methods and frameworks derived from other fields. We present examples of the kind of evaluation information that the framework elicited and use this as a basis to critique the strengths and weaknesses of the framework. Our experience of using creative methods for eliciting evaluation data suggest that useful information about participation can be revealed but that further improvements can be made in order to make the research experience more participatory.

摘要

在本文中，我们将描述，论证和批判我们已经开发出的一种参与式方法，以评估参与式研究项目的成功，该项目正在探索使博物馆学习体验对于具有多种出入偏好的成年人而言更具包容性的方法。由于我们在包容性博物馆教育，包容性技术和参与性研究的交汇处的独特空间中进行研究，因此我们需要开发一种新颖的评估方法，并借鉴其他领域的方法和框架。我们提供了该框架引起的那种评估信息的示例，并以此为基础来批评该框架的优缺点。
