Data is collected by means of surveying and testing. The survey and test results will be compared among groups and over time for the same group in order to demonstrate the level of progress, improvement, or lack thereof.

The variable to measure is performance of participants in the TEP in terms of their teaching versatility and knowledge level of the subjects they teach. Measures are comparatively established, with the level of previous graduates, initial skill levels, and new entrants being used to determine improvement levels.

Specifically, three data collection measures will be used: achievement tests, observations, and the published and unpublished literature. The combination of these measures will then also be used to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the data obtained.

The most important piece of additional information that is needed to effectively evaluate the TEP is baseline data. This refers to data collected before the start of the program. It is necessary to determine the current status of the TEP in order to differentiate between its current and future performance. Changes in status can then be used as a measure and explanation...

Questions to be answered may include the following:
What is the current level of student performance?

How do students view their function and work as teachers?

How much do students know about the subjects that they teach?

Do they have versatile skills in terms of teaching methods?

What types of materials do students use when presenting a class?

Are students able to think critically and creatively about their teaching methods?

How do potential learners respond to students taking part in the program?

What measures are used to ensure that the goals of the program are met?

During the span of this investigation, a thorough assessment will be made of the effectiveness of the TEP. The report will contain information on the current status of the program, as well as recommendations for its improvement. It is only through regular evaluation that administrators can ensure that the goals of the program are met and that students gain the optimal education for which they enroll.
