ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to share the results of a study that focused on the trends regarding the development and evaluation of civic education programs. To arrive at this aim, the researcher dealt with the following themes: development of educational programs and model of factors, curriculum and selection of contents, concept and characteristics of program evaluation, problems related to program evaluation, school development planning and self-evaluation, and cases of development and evaluation of civic education program. The bottom line of this article can be formulated as follows:① In program development we have to clarify the relevant factors, make a decision considering those factors, and keep in mind a set of action process including evaluation of aspects of both process and consequence. ② Because evaluation of educational programs is not a lab experiment in a strict sense, it seems to be desirable to consider a process-accompanying or formative evaluation as a better alternative. ③ Evaluation of civic education programs can be expected, after all, to contribute to consolidating the fundament of legitimacy and to ameliorating quality assurance. ④ Based on the two cases of development and evaluation of civic education program, we can identify the plausibility and usefulness of analysis and assessment of questionnaire results in the sense of above-mentioned process-accompanying or formative evaluation.
