Abstract

Despite a great deal of discussion about the notion of professionalizing evaluation practice around the world, many associated concepts are not clearly defined. This practice note provides operational definitions of the concepts of profession, professionalism, professional and professionalization, and presents methodology designed to reflect on the ins and outs of a national process of professionalization. In conclusion, the author analyzes the prospects for the professionalization of the practice of evaluation at an international level.
