AN EVALUATION MODEL is an overall strategy or approach that guides the questions you ask as well as the design.
For a classification of models and designs see the chapter from preskill HERE
Read Stufflebeam's classic text HERE
Several models are available and an evaluation framework may also use multiple approaches or models (See Bledsoe, K. L., & Graham, J. A. (2005). The use of multiple evaluation approaches in program evaluation. American Journal of Evaluation, 26(3), 302-319).
Utilization Focused Evaluation
FROM BETTEREVALUATION
Utilization-Focused Evaluation (UFE), developed by Michael Quinn Patton, is an approach based on the principle that an evaluation should be judged on its usefulness to its intended users. Therefore evaluations should be planned and conducted in ways that enhance the likely utilization of both the findings and of the process itself to inform decisions and improve performance
