Employing the teacher-learner cycle in realistic evaluation : A case study of the social benefits of young people’s playing fields
The teacher—learner cycle has been presented as an integral part of the realistic evaluation approach by Pawson and Tilley. Yet few studies have adopted this cycle explicitly and no studies were found in which the whole cycle was completed.We fill this gap through a case study of the effect of young people’s playing fields on anti-social behaviour in a Dutch community.The initiators of these fields were surprised that nearly identical fields seemed to work better in one area than in the other. Drawing on the expertise of all stakeholders, our study revealed that the initiators’ implicit CMO-schemes needed improvement and that contextual factors were significant.
