THE EVALUATION OF PATTAYA PROJECT TO CREATE A STANDARD TEST TO MEASURE THE ABILITY OF HIGHER THINKING BY INTEGRATED EVALUATION MODEL OF KIRKPATRICK AND META EVALUATION APPROACH

Abstract

     The objective of this research was to evaluate the project of  creating a standard test to measure the ability if higher  thinking in Pattaya schools by integrated  evaluation model of Kirkpatrick and Meta evaluation approach. The research studied the area of the reaction evaluation, learning evaluation , behavior evaluation and the result evaluation by using the integration model of Kirkpatrick and Meta evaluation approach.

     The population of this research was 114 trainees in Pattaya project to create a standard test of measure the ability of higher thinking. The research instrument was a project evaluation form and the data analysis were percentage, the average, standard Deviation, t-test, One way ANOVA and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient.

     The result of the research inthe reaction evaluation, the trainees were satisfied  the facilities in the training and they wanted the training period was not too extensively, whereas the result of the research in learning evaluation, the trainees was satisfied. They could gain more knowledge and more understanding about the method of creating the test by basing on the basic education core curriculum.
