Summary
The evaluation of the effectiveness of a study programme refers to its outcomes, and may be measured with the level of satisfaction of the programme objectives. In an educational programme, we can recognize three macro objectives referred to students:
-
i)
the formation of specific competences;
-
ii)
general competences and individual cultural development;
-
iii)
capability in finding a suitable job.
The measurement of these components is based on the construction and analysis of several indicators from surveys on teaching assessment, or on placement, or on teachers and employers, and, too, on linkage between databases.
