Abstract

AbstractEvaluative thinking (ET) is a construct of growing interest in education research due to its potential influence on the implementation of strategies, initiatives, and interventions. It is of particular importance in evidence-based practice. ET is often associated with the use of data, evidence-based decision making, and conducting evaluation activities. Research in this field indicates that an organisation and staff that think and act evaluatively are more likely to interrogate outcomes, question assumptions, and adapt program design and delivery. Given the nature and organisational structures of Schools as Community Hubs (SaCH) it is suggested that ET is an essential factor in the success of SaCH. This chapter will explore the research base regarding ET and the potential for ET to influence the success of SaCH.
