Abstract
This thesis evaluates the user board of the elememtary school in Veberöd, Sweden. In this process an evaluation model is developed. The model itself gets evaluated in a meta-evaluation to improve the model for future use.

The evaluation model is constructed to fit this context and is therefore, not only, set out from classical goal-based evaluation but also from deliberative democratic evaluation.

This thesis evaluates the user board of the elememtary school in Veberöd, Sweden. In this process an evaluation model is developed. The model itself gets evaluated in a meta-evaluation to improve the model for future use.

The starting point of the evaluation is the deliberative democracy theory. Although Sweden is a representative democracy an official desire exists to have a democracy with deliberative qualities. The evaluation model is constructed to fit this context and is therefore, not only, set out from classical goal-based evaluation but also from deliberative democratic evaluation. The deliberative qualities in the evaluation are measured through a meta-evaluative perspective, which shows that the evaluation has several deliberative qualities. The study concludes that the main flaws of the evaluation are found in the unequal activity of the participants. This activity can get more equal with a different set of stakeholder groups. The evaluation shows that the formal influence of the user board is limited, but there is a possibility for the board to influence in an informal way. The board has not been able to bring out information about its work to parents that are not engaged in the work of the board. (Less)
