Abstract

The purposes of this study were (I) to develop an annual program monitoring model for Cabot College of Applied Arts, Technology and Continuing Education, (2) to determine the suitability of Stufflebeam's Context Evaluation Model as the basis of the annual program monitoring model, (3) develop a set of indicators to be used in the annual program monitoring process and (4) test the model and indicators though the trial monitoring of two programs at Cabot College. -- The indicators chosen reflected the views of individuals identified as decision makers at the College. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and analysis of documents to define a set of indicators for program monitoring. -- The results indicate that Stufflebeam's Context Evaluation serves as an excellent guide for the development of an annual program monitoring process Indicators chosen have been found to be difficult to measure, but valuable information is made available when the information obtained in the monitoring process is analysed. -- Recommendations are made for alternative data collection and analysis strategies in the monitoring process.
