“…Other evaluation categories regard (3) the distinctions between approaches and techniques, for example, quantitative vs qualitative approaches or subjective vs objective techniques (Remenyi, 1999). Such categories distinguish the reasoning and strategies for evaluation including (1) why to evaluate, (2) when to evaluate, and (3) how to evaluate.…”

Evaluation of design artefacts and design theories is a key activity in Design Science Research (DSR), as it provides feedback for further development and (if done correctly) assures the rigour of the research. However, the extant DSR literature provides insufficient guidance on evaluation to enable Design Science Researchers to effectively design and incorporate evaluation activities into a DSR project that can achieve DSR goals and objectives. To address this research gap, this research paper develops, explicates, and provides evidence for the utility of a Framework for Evaluation in Design Science (FEDS) together with a process to guide design science researchers in developing a strategy for evaluating the artefacts they develop within a DSR project. A FEDS strategy considers why, when, how, and what to evaluate. FEDS includes a two-dimensional characterisation of DSR evaluation episodes (particular evaluations), with one dimension being the functional purpose of the evaluation (formative or summative) and the other dimension being the paradigm of the evaluation (artificial or naturalistic). The FEDS evaluation design process is comprised of four steps: (1) explicate the goals of the evaluation, (2) choose the evaluation strategy or strategies, (3) determine the properties to evaluate, and (4) design the individual evaluation episode(s). The paper illustrates the framework with two examples and provides evidence of its utility via a naturalistic, summative evaluation through its use on an actual DSR project.

“…With regard to data analysis, a researcher may need to use such statistics software as SPSS for quantitative correlative analysis of the corresponding textual fragments and the moments when the translator is highly concentrating, namely seeking which specific parts of the text demand more mental efforts. However, "the final process of understanding and interpreting the findings is essentially an interpretivist qualitative research activity" [10].…”

Abstract-This study aims at examining the plurality of research approaches to Translation Studies given its interdisciplinarity. By comparing the four principal research approaches categorized by Chesterman -textual, cognitive, sociological and cultural-this paper critically reflects upon the properties of each approach, concluding that the maturity and stability of a research approach to Translation Studies is concomitant with their ad-hoc disciplinary perspectives. This research is therefore original by exhorting that translation researchers refrain from becoming a perfectionist who attempts to account for all the relevant variables of a real-life situation involved in a translation act. Instead, the kinds of hypotheses, models, and theories proposed in Translation Studies concern tendencies rather than mechanical cause-andeffect and appropriate research approaches should be selected according to a specific research nature, question and object. Understanding this is essential to exploring meaning and context, the central notions of translation.

“…No âmbito da TI, a avaliação pode ser entendida como um processo que suporta a tomada de decisões e permite a uma organização definir os custos, benefícios, riscos e implicações de investir em aplicações e em infraestrutura (FARBEY et al, 1994;REMENYI, 1999;THOMAS et al, Graeme, 2008).…”

“…Já as avaliações feitas após a conclusão de um projeto, ou "ex-post", prestam-se a demonstrar o retorno proporcionado pelo investimento, confirmando ou não o que dele se esperava em tempo de justificação (REMENYI, 1999). Também é preciso considerar que esses dois tipos de avaliação não são mutuamente excludentes; como afirmam Ward e Daniel (2012), para que a obtenção dos benefícios previstos na avaliação "ex-ante" ocorram, deve haver também um continuo monitoramento durante e após a implementação dos projetos.…”
