ABSTRACT This paper reports on a case study of a participatory evaluation of community-university collaboration in the Noto region of Japan, comprising capacity development and research programs. By modifying the Most Significant Change (MSC) technique, we designed our own methods using the “Horizontal MSC” technique to address the lack of a mechanism to collect and share the views of those engaged in the program implementation. The study found the Horizontal MSC useful in participatory evaluation, which itself can serve as a learning process for key actors to share future goals and has the potential to enhance overall cycles of planning, implementing, and evaluating programs.

社区大学合作项目的参与性评估：以日本能登为例

摘要 本文报告了日本能登地区社区-大学合作参与式评估的案例研究，包括能力发展和研究计划。通过修改最显着变化 (MSC) 技术，我们使用“水平 MSC”技术设计了我们自己的方法，以解决缺乏收集和共享参与计划实施人员意见的机制的问题。研究发现横向 MSC 在参与式评估中很有用，它本身可以作为关键参与者分享未来目标的学习过程，并有可能加强规划、实施和评估计划的整体周期。
