Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Process of Undergraduate Health and Physical Education Program by the CIPP Model

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the process (instruction, activities, and assessment methods) of undergraduate health and physical education (HPE) programs in different colleges of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province by employing the CIPP model. A quantitative research technique was used to record the students' responses about the effectiveness of the process through questionnaires. Respondents showed mixed views about different parameters of the process. Students were satisfied with the use of audiovisual aids during instruction, promotion of critical thinking, social and moral values by instruction methods, class discussion, participation of teachers and students in physical activities, and instructions before a specific activity. A significant proportion of the respondents, however, believed that teachers did not use diverse teaching strategies and effective mediums of instruction. Similarly, negative responses were observed about rehabilitation techniques, the role of mentor ship in stimulating students' interest, and the regular arrangement of physical activities. Evaluation of the HPE program by the CIPP model identified some demerits in the process which need improvement to make the program more effective.
