PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE

Directions For Use

Note: It is recommended that all or parts of this questionnaire be completed in a participatory manner with program colleagues, tutors and/or learners. Allow two to three hours for the process.

There are three parts to this questionnaire:

  1. an identifying cover sheet;
  2. the evaluation section which is the bulk of the instrument; and
  3. a summary recording sheet.

The evaluation section has seventeen good practice statements labelled A to Q with four attached sections (a), (b), (c), and (d).

  1. Read the statement and then look at section (a) and read through the conditions.
  2. Check off in the spaces provided the conditions or elements which apply in your program, then move on to section (b).
  3. Read through the rating statements in (b) and circle the statement which best applies to your program. If you think you belong between rating statements in some of the areas of practice, then give yourself an intermediate rating. For instance, you may have checked off all conditions in (a) but feel that you could do a better job, so you may want to give yourself a "4 ½" and target some conditions for improvement in (c).
  4. In (c) identify conditions that are met but need improving and conditions not met that you think you could introduce to your program in the next year. Be realistic, however. If you rate a "2" or "3", it may be impossible to reach a "5", even though that may be your ultimate aim.
  5. In (d) you have to determine the steps to be taken and the resources required for the attainment of your objectives as outlined in (c).
  6. When you have worked through the statements, you must then decide on your priorities for the coming year. The summary recording sheet may help you to focus on this task.
