Applying dynamic evaluation approach in education

Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to implement a newly proposed evaluation method (Dimitropoulos, 1999), that is, the dynamic evaluation approach in the field of education. The dynamic approach was applied in order to evaluate the Olympic Education Program in Greece. The results of the present field study were encouraging. Dynamic evaluation appeared to be a promising tool concerning the evaluation of the educational program. It was, however, considered premature to draw firm conclusions as dynamic evaluation does not depend on any of the well-known evaluation models. Therefore, it is proposed that the method should be further tested in the future to ensure its evaluation efficiency. © 2004 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
