Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this article is to understand how ideology influences models of evaluation used in social projects carried out by five NGOs in the city of Greater Florianópolis. With application in the field of education, these models are being adapted and used in evaluations for social projects. In order to understand how ideological assumption influence NGO evaluation, we initially sought to identify the area known as the third sector in order to later present the concepts by which NGOs evaluate social projects. The different models of evaluation were grouped according to the similarity of their values, their philosophical and ideological sources, and also their methodological approaches. The present study is qualitative in character, using case studies, interpretive strategies that use conceptual categories of the closed kind, and with a technique of data analysis that involves content analysis. Our results show that the evaluative models used by the NGOs we studied are influenced by their philosophical beliefs, ideologies, and methodological approaches.
