“…Program theory has been defined as "a plausible and sensible model of how a program is supposed to work" (Bickman, 1987, p. 5).

Program theory can be used to undertake consistent, robust, and comparable monitoring and evaluation of programs, which is lacking at this moment (e.g., Coalter, 2007Coalter, , 2012Coakley 2011).…”
