La Tabla Periódica de Evaluación 2.0 (2025)

Michael Q. Patton and Sara Vaca have embarked on an exciting journey to curate and assemble what we now present as the Periodic Table of Evaluation Elements 2.0. Their goal was to provide a comprehensive and navigable overview of the evaluation field, helping practitioners and enthusiasts alike make sense of its complexity and diversity.
Esta Tabla Periódica de Evaluación es tanto un reflejo del estado actual del campo como una invitación a participar en su evolución continua, y reconoce que puede no ser exhaustiva. Pretende servir de:
  • Un recurso para el aprendizaje y la inspiración.
  • Una herramienta para la enseñanza y la reflexión.
  • Un marco para reflexionar sobre la evaluación de forma holística.
The table is organized into 14 categories, encompassing a total of 188 elements, complemented by 6 perspectives and 4 quality standards (198 elements in total). These components represent the building blocks of evaluation, capturing its diverse methodologies, approaches, tools, and frameworks. Each category highlights a specific dimension of evaluation, from foundational principles to cutting-edge innovations. Together, they offer a holistic view of what it means to evaluate effectively and thoughtfully in today’s dynamic world.

"The ToC course is excellent. It provides a practical, hands-on approach to developing a Theory of Change visually and offers actionable tips for facilitating sessions with project teams.

"I work in a complex and challenging consulting field, often obscured by abstruse jargon. For a long time, I struggled with the challenge of simplifying, popularizing, and pitching it. Sara made processes and methods clear and accessible with a disconcerting visual fluidity. Since then, I have been able to communicate much more effectively in my presentations and business proposals."
