[tabs slidertype=”top tabs” fx=”slide”][tabcontainer] [tabtext]Abstract[/tabtext] [tabtext]Keywords[/tabtext] [tabtext]Indexing[/tabtext] [/tabcontainer] [tabcontent] [tab]The theory-based evaluation is one of the most used directions in evaluation, having the capacity to identify the program elements and their coherence. Beyond its variations, the applicability of theory-based evaluation renders it to remain attractive for specialists due to its approach perspectives and its solid conceptual construction; this direction is kept as a nucleus of program evaluation perspectives, incorporating new theoretical directions and experimental or quasi-experimental practices.[/tab] [tab]theory-based evaluation; implicit knowledge; logic model; program microtheory; program macrotheory; stakeholders; experimental design.[/tab] [tab]ISI Thomson Reuters, SCOPUS, Central and Eastern European Online Library, Index Copernicus, articol cotat ISI (Social Sciences Citation Index), categoria A, CNCSIS, no. 657[/tab] [/tabcontent] [/tabs]
