Values and Culture in Evaluative Thinking: Insights from Aotearoa New Zealand

Abstract

Abstract Evaluative thinking as currently discussed in evaluation literature is relatively “culture free” in spite of the well‐known connection between values and culture. This chapter reviews the adequacy of applying dominant ways of knowing to evaluative thinking and reasoning in indigenous contexts. Through a case example, it explores how indigenous knowledge systems might influence our conceptions of evaluative thinking, and discusses the potential for the convergence and coexistence of diverse knowledge paradigms for evaluative thinking to better serve the needs and aspirations of indigenous communities.
