Medical school administrators, educators, and other key personnel must often make difficult choices regarding the creation, retention, modification, or termination of the various programs that take place at their institutions. Program evaluation is a data-driven strategy to aide decision-makers in determining the most appropriate outcome for programs within their purview. The purpose of this brief article is to describe one program evaluation model, the utilization-focused approach. In particular, we address the focus of this model, the personal factor, the role of the evaluator, and the evaluation process. Based on the flexibility of this model as well as its focus on stakeholder involvement, we encourage readers to consider the utilization-focused approach when evaluating programs.

ABSTRACTWith a view to reducing the exhaustion experienced by informal caregivers and thus encourage the frail elderly to remain at home, a new free respite care program, which offers to house the frail elderly one week per month, was evaluated using an array of multiple cases. Ajzen and Madden's (1986) theory of reasoned action was used as a model to explain the effect of the program on the caregivers' intention to resort to permanent accommodation. Fourteen informal caregivers took part in the program evaluation process. An analysis of the reports of the meetings of the program's Implementation Committee revealed that human and material resources had been used as established in the initial plan. Seven subjects completed the 12 months planned for evaluating the program and were able to continue with the program thereafter. An analysis of the data, using graphic representations and pre-experimental and experimental phase medians, did not reveal any decrease in the perceived burden and in the intention to resort to accommodation in subjects who had completed the program evaluation process. Those who dropped out did so in part because of the high level of perceived burden and the caregivers' intention to resort to accommodation prior to entering the program. Unstructured telephone interviews with the caregivers suggest, moreover, that an elderly person's loss of autonomy, a good financial situation, and the caregiver's decreased feeling of guilt at the idea of housing his/her relative are important determining factors in the caregiver's decision to use permanent accommodation.

This qualitative study focused on one Mid-Missouri school district and was designed to collect and analyze teachers' and administrators' perceptions regarding the elementary math program for the purpose of program improvement. The district utilized ability grouping including acceleration for elementary math instruction. This study was analyzed using a constructivist framework and consideration was given to the theories of both Piaget and Vygotsky. Based on teachers' and administrators' perceptions, the accelerated math classes met the needs of the highest ability math students. Overall, according to teachers, the elementary math program did not meet the needs of the lowest students at the fourth and fifth grade levels where the accelerated math classes were being utilized.

Mostrar la eficacia de un programa de enseñanza de lenguas ante las partes interesadas y a la vez señalar áreas o aspectos por mejorar son los objetivos de la evaluación de programas. En este artículo se describe el proceso de evaluación de tres programas de español como segunda lengua en situación de inmersión, en el que se difuminan los límites entre el aprendizaje dentro y fuera del aula. La investigación narrativa se presenta como opción metodológica que permite comprender la experiencia de los participantes, de forma completa y matizada. Abstract To show the efficiency of a given language program to interested stakeholders and to point to areas or aspects that require improvement are the two main objectives of any program evaluation. In this article, we describe the evaluation process of three Spanish as a second language programs in a study abroad context, where boundaries between learning inside and outside the classroom necessarily blur. Narrative inquiry is our methodological option because it allows us to understand the students experience in a holistic and nuanced manner.
