Research evaluation consequences – a Swedish local example

• The paper aims at exploring a local evaluation exercise of educational research as an example of attempts to adapt the forces for a change towards Anglo Saxon political thinking and culture regarding research and politically initiated research evaluations in the name of “international quality”. It emphasise research outcomes in terms of impact as outputs in number of publications with societal relevance and innovation potentials. The study is descriptively based on evaluation theory (e.g. Franke-Wikberg & Lundgren 1980; Owen with Rogers 1999). Analytically Hofstetter and Schneuwly (2002) is used as a resource for discussing the research evaluation in relation to the local and national character educational research seems to have, at least within the European countries. Further Dahler-Larsen’s concept ‘constitutive effects’ (2013) is used to explore possible consequences of this local research evaluation.
