Course Level:	Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle)
Mode of Delivery:	Face to face
Course Coordinator :	Prof. Dr. TUFAN ADIGÜZEL
Recommended Optional Program Components:	None
Course Objectives:	This course aims at examining processes about education and instruction, how to evaluate the products after these processes; fundamentals of products and process evaluation; planning of product and process evaluation; choosing and applying the evaluation techniques and describing the results. Students gain practical experience through a series of exercises involving the design of a conceptual framework, and development of an evaluation plan to measure impact.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Explain the major concepts in process and product evaluation
2. Describe evaluation’s purpose, uses and conceptual distinctions
3. Perform skills required in conducting process and product evaluation
4. Describe and distinguish the various approaches to evaluation (e.g. formative evaluation and summative evaluation, developmental evaluation, objectives-oriented evaluation, management-oriented evaluation, consumer-oriented evaluation, and participant-oriented evaluation)
5. Use practical guidelines for conducting evaluations
6. Develop an evaluation proposal for an instructional product in an educational or other organizational setting
