Integrating Educational Technology in Collaborative Program Evaluation at the Senior Secondary Level

Abstract

This study explores the integration of educational technology in evaluating collaborative programs at the high school level. Collaborative program evaluation is a valuable approach to enhancing education quality by engaging various stakeholders. However, it poses challenges, such as coordinating stakeholders and collecting valid data. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that educational technology can improve evaluation efficiency, data quality, and student participation. Specifically, online evaluation platforms enable teachers and staff to collect data more efficiently and accurately, thereby enhancing the overall evaluation process. Despite the benefits, the implementation of educational technology in collaborative program evaluation faces challenges, particularly in terms of teacher and staff proficiency. To address this issue, additional training and support are necessary to enhance their capabilities and ensure effective utilization of educational technology. The study's findings have significant implications for evaluating collaborative programs in high schools. By leveraging educational technology, schools can enhance evaluation efficiency, data quality, and student participation. Therefore, developing user-friendly online evaluation platforms and providing training for teachers and staff are essential steps in harnessing the potential of educational technology in collaborative program evaluation. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of educational technology to improve collaborative program evaluation in high schools. By addressing the challenges and limitations associated with its implementation, schools can unlock the benefits of educational technology and enhance the overall quality of education.
