EVALUATION MODELS IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM: STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Tập 34 Số 2 - Trang - 2018
In the 21st century, evaluation in education has been paid great attention and the evaluation models in education which were created in the 20th century have been further developed and widely applied in educational evaluation. The paper provides readers with comprehensive discussions on the four well-known evaluation models in education: Tyler’s objective model, Stake’s responsive model, Scriven’s goal free model and Stufebeam’s CIPP model. These models have a long history and have been thoroughly developed over time. The application of these four models is found in many felds of evaluation, but mostly in educational program evaluation. In order to help educational evaluators have better and deeper understandings of the four models, the paper presents the nature of the models, the characteristics of the models, as well as discusses strengths and weaknesses of each model.
The effects of pictures on the reading comprehension of low-proficiency Taiwanese English foreign language college students: An action research study
Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang - 2009
Abstract. This study investigates the extent to which the presence of pictures in text benefits low-proficiency Taiwanese English foreign language (EFL) college students. The findings show that the low-proficiency participants had significantly higher scores on their translation tasks when the text was presented together with the pictures, and that the accompanying pictures facilitated those low-level participants in comprehending not only the simpler but also the more difficult text. Student responses to the effects of visuals on their reading comprehension also revealed that the pictures enhanced their understanding of the text itself. Implications are suggested for EFL college teachers, textbook designers, and materials developers.
