Judging interpretations: But is it rigorous? trustworthiness and authenticity in naturalistic evaluation Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This chapter situates Guba and Lincolns chapter within the broad philosophical debate about the justifiability of interpretations. The emergence of a new paradigm of inquiry (naturalistic) has, unsurprisingly enough, led to a demand for rigorous criteria that meet traditional standards of inquiry. Two sets are suggested, one of which, the trustworthiness criteria, parallels conventional criteria, while the second, " authenticity criteria, is implied directly by new paradigm assumptions. 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
