Abstract: (1204 Views) |
This study sought to design a comprehensive evaluation model which can be utilized to evaluate educational programs with broad target populations and multiple management and executive layers, including the School Peer Counseling Program. This qualitative research had a descriptive design. Purposeful sampling method was used and the sample was non-randomly selected from the executive scientific documents of social programs as well as related literature. The findings indicated that the multilevel evaluation model needs to be formed by integrating a logical model as the general pattern of planning and evaluation, CIPP from the management-based approach and Kirkpatrick from the goal-based approach. In this model, while paying attention to the design and implementation components of the program, different levels of beneficiaries are also involved. The School Peer Counseling Program can be evaluated through this multilevel model due to the variety of goals and levels of the multilayered individuals involved in it. The model can then provide educational policymakers with prioritized solutions to enhance the program effectiveness. It is suggested that this model be utilized for evaluating large-scale programs in which it is important to examine multiple levels of program management and implementation and create interaction between the evaluation results. |
