Abstract فصلنامه تخصصی دانش ارزیابی که اینک دومین شماره از دومین سال انتشار آن در مقابل دیدگان خواننده محترم قرار دارد به روال معهود، مجموعه ای از نوشته های برگرفته از تحقیقات نظری و عملی را در دل خود جای داده است. بر کسی پوشیده نیست و اذعان اهل قلم و اصحاب دانش بر این مدعا، شاهدی نیکوست که گردآوری مجموعه هایی از این دست، نه فقط کاری ساده نیست، که گاه با دشواری هایی بیش از حوزه های دیگر نیز روبروست زیرا نظارت و ارزیابی به خودی خود، مقوله ای پیچیده و ظریف محسوب می گردد که وقتی به وادی عمل در می آید به صعوبت نظری آن دو چندان افزوده می شود. اما از آنجایی که نشر نوشته های علمی در چنین حوزه هایی، در کنار غنابخشی به این حوزه از ادبیات، به پیدایش مجالی برای ظهور و بروز خلاقیت های ذهنی و عملی نیز می انجامد، لذا بذل تلاشی دوچندان برای ارایه مجموعه ای با ویژگی های برتر پژوهشی و نوشتاری در میان دست اندرکاران تهیه این فصلنامه قولی است که جملگی بر آنند و از این رو، نظرات اصلاحی خوانندگان محترم، به دیده منت، پذیرفتنی است.

Abstract Monitoring or inspection has an unmatched role in implementation of successful policies. This is especially the case for social policy, because these policies are more in need of care due to their breadth and depth. In order to monitor social policies, different approaches have been present ed. Among them, four have been more interesting including: social sys tems accounting; social auditing; social testing, and synthesis of research and practice. Given the theoretical vacuum regarding these approaches and their impact on the improvement of social policies, in the present paper we have tried to besides introducing these approaches and their strengths and weaknesses with a descriptive - analytical approach, exam ining the application of them in monitoring the budget and development programs in Iran. Results show that one of the major causes of failure to achieve the development goals defined in the budget laws and programs is lack of understanding and applying new approaches to monitoring.
