Abstract
|
|
|
Program evaluation with validity is known to be a difficult task even for experienced researchers. This paper is prepared by a staff and students of public health evaluation course offered to doctorate students as a part of practice in evaluative
research. In order to practice the principles of evaluative research, and to assess current Korean status of this area, eighteen papers dealt with public health concerned program evaluation in three different subjects, i.e., demonstration program
of
Korea Health development Institute (KHDI), community health demonstration programs of universities and family planning program of Korean government, were reviewed. Suchman's principles of evaluative research were applied mainly as a standard
reference;
formulation of objectives by level, validity of underlying assumptions for each objective, suitability of research design, use of evaluation categories with correct concept, verification of data in terms of its validity and reliability, and
utility
of
evaluation results. Most of these evaluative researches were formative evaluations but one summative evaluation, the KHDI health program, and the type of evaluation was all goal-oriented approach. Generally evaluation principles have been applied
poorly
in most cases applying only a part; mostly effort, and some parts of performance and process. In some papers, there were no statements on evaluation objectives.
Also underlying assumption in formulating objectives have rarely been stated, verification of data were very poor, and only few papers have dealt with all five categories of evaluation including adequacy of performance and efficiency of the
program
subjected to evaluation. Thus it was concluded that further effort should be given to the training public health personnel on evaluative research methodology with emphasis on practical and correct application of th evaluation principles.
