ResumoMost of the issues discussed by House, Glass, McLean,and Walker (1978) in their critique of the Follow Through evaluation are related to outcome measures, analysis methods, and ways of summarizing and interpreting results, although they also give recommendations for evaluation procedures generally. We believe that their critique is misleading in its interpretation of what the evaluation's findings were,what conclusions could be drawn from them, and, by implication, what evaluation research can contribute to decision making in education. But while we disagree with much that is in the critique, we noetheless recognize that there are some major problems in evaluative research. Although these problems are not peculiar to the Follow Through evaluation, they are at least exemplified by it.
