q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Finding from the qualitative analysis of researcher structured reflections. Table 3 summarizes the corresponding staff capacities: relational groundwork and trust, scaffolding and facilitation, emergent and programmatic knowledge, and curiosity and patience.
"Digital Promise researcher capacities in participatory evaluation were characterized less by technical control of the process than by the ability to create conditions for participatory work."

Related Claims¶

- Staff reflections identify partner skills, knowledge, and dispositions that support full participation in Collaborative Innovation — related
- Dispositions such as openness and shared responsibility are shaped by conditions, not fixed individual traits — related
- Knowledge alone did not ensure meaningful participation; it became influential when clearly communicated and built into programming — related
- Partners in participatory evaluation demonstrated capacities in data engagement, contextual and pedagogical knowledge, and openness and improvement-oriented dispositions — related
- Human-GAI paradigms are enacted patterns of engagement rather than fixed individual traits — a broader claim this one bears on
