Extending the Model of Program Evaluation: Career Graduates and Their Employers.
Opacinch, Cheryl
This study was undertaken to serve as a potential model in the evaluation of career programs. Most models for program evaluation consist of three phases: input; (e.g., the number of students enrolled); the process (e.g., availability of equipment, staff, etc.); and output (e.g., students who are able to gain employment). This study focuses on graduates and asks them to assess defined components of the process and output phases beyond those usually included. It was contended that the employed graduates of a career program could well serve as evaluators because they are in the unique position of being able to relate their programs to their job requirements. It was also contended that supervisors of career program graduates should be included in the program evaluation model because they are particularly able to provide an assessment of job performance. Thus, this study focuses on two phases of the program evaluation model--process and output, extends the components of these phases, and utilizes opinions of both graduates and their supervisors.
