      ab: The article focuses on the limitation of the applicability of interval shift analysis, to program evaluation. There can be almost unanimous agreement, among those of us who are involved in the evaluation of educational programs, in the public schools that there is a great need for the development of innovative methods, of analyzing student achievement data for the purpose of program evaluation. Most persons charged with the responsibility of project or program evaluation come equipped with the tools of behavioral research. We have attempted to apply experimental and quasi-experimental designs, hypothesis testing, and inferential statistics to developmental or on-going programs and have found these methods inadequate. Much work is needed in adapting the methods of the social and behavioral sciences to educational evaluation. The models of anthropology, economics, political sciences, sociology, law, and journalism need to be studied for their applicability to evaluation. Some of this analysis has been carried out.
