Title III Curriculum Enrichment Activity Instructional Support Program Evaluation Report for 1984-1985.
Norris, Neal A.
Designed to inform and guide the work of the Professional Support Committee at Reading Area Community College (RACC) in Pennsylvania as it attempts to refine current instructional support procedures and create new growth initiatives, this evaluative report focuses on the activities and accomplishments of RACC during the third year of its Curriculum Enrichment Activity Project. Section A discusses the process of educational evaluation and different paradigms for evaluation; and presents the sources of data for evaluation of the instructional support program, i.e. a review of program documents and reports; interviews with program staff and participants; anecdotal evaluations from Professional Support Committee members; observations of professional development activities; and faculty surveys. Section B provides qualitative assessments of program accomplishments which include evaluations of the program's activities, achievements, and personnel noting strengths and weaknesses, ways to improve, and impact on the college community. Section C provides quantitative assessments of program facilities and services in the areas of the instructional media production laboratory; the instructional technology laboratory; the professional support center; and the coordinator of curriculum development. Section D provides a summary assessment of the instructional support program. Appendices include user evaluation surveys for the laboratories and professional support center, assessment forms, and book purchases. (HB)
