Although methodology (statistics and measurement) is an important component of evaluation, it is only one part of a much more complex enterprise. By inference, educational programs that only focus on methodology are not considered to be evaluation training programs. With that as an initial premise, the following topics are described in this paper: a brief, historical perspective of evaluation training including how it is evolving; a summary of the main findings from the most recent (1994) study of the results of evaluation training in the United States, Canada, and Australia; the current, in-process worldwide study of evaluation training; and trends that are projected to emerge with regard to training in the broader context of a field undergoing rapid growth and globalization.
