A Comparative Analysis of Alternative Evaluation Approaches

Abstract

本篇論文旨在探討與比較現行的幾種評量方法。文中將一一分析過程評量法 (Judgmental Model)，全面性評量法 (Decision-Facilitation Model)，及非正式主觀評量 法 (Naturalistic Model) 之基本理論及其優缺點。 比較結果顯示，全面性評量法 (Decision-Facilitation Model) 最能夠提供教師及校方主管人員對整個教學與校務發展流 程，有一個清晰明確的架構，以作為改進的依據。

The purpose of this paper is to make a thorough study of three alternative evaluation models which are the judgmental model, the decision-facilitation model, and the naturalistic model. Scriven`s goal-free evaluation approach, Stufflebeam`s CIPP model, and Stake`s responsive evaluation approach will be selected and presented from those alternative evaluation models, respectively. The rationale, strengths, and weaknesses of those three evaluation approaches will be compared and analyzed. By comparison, Stufflebeam`s CIPP model is the most useful and helpful evaluation approach in providing program directors and teachers with a clear record-keeping framework regarding how the school program is going.
