520 |a This handbook is a "how to do it" set of definitions, instruments, and procedures based on program effectiveness and related costs (PERC) evaluation at Empire State College (Saratoga Springs, New York) and four other cooperating institutions. The handbook focuses first on program effectiveness and then considers program costs. It utilizes a multiple perspectives strategy containing five essential parts: multiple observers of student learning; multiple methods of assessing student learning; multiple standards for evaluating student learning; multiple decision-makers utilizing data relevant to the policy questions they face; and multiple time-periods for measuring change in student learning. The handbook is organized into five sections: (1) an overview of the complete PERC framework; (2) key dimensions of PERC: multiple perspectives strategy, outcome-cost relationship, and effectiveness; (3) a tool box of instruments and discussions of how to adapt and use them, with suggestions on goal identification and sampling; (4) approaches to PERC data analysis; and (5) data application and use. An appendix contains a program completion questionnaire, student biographical inventory, graduate followup questionnaire, student experience questionnaire, faculty rating form, student rating form, and faculty questionnaire. Includes 52 references. (JDD)
