A Novel Implementation of the CIPP Model in Undergraduate Medical Education: The Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine Experience

Abstract

This case study explores the innovative application of the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model for program evaluation in the undergraduate medical education program at Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) Faculty of Medicine. While CIPP is widely recognized for its adaptability in educational settings, the KTU approach introduces unique methodologies tailored to meet the complex demands of medical education. It is highlighted that the model’s capacity to enhance program accountability, align curriculum design with societal health needs, and integrate diverse stakeholder perspectives. This case study presents a replicable framework for institutions seeking to implement CIPP in complex educational contexts.

Mezuniyet Öncesi Tıp Eğitiminde CIPP Modelinin Yenilikçi Bir Uygulaması: Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Deneyimi

Abstract

Bu vaka çalışması, Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi (KTÜ) Tıp Fakültesi lisans tıp eğitimi programında, program değerlendirme için Bağlam, Girdi, Süreç ve Ürün (CIPP) modelinin yenilikçi uygulamasını incelemektedir. CIPP modeli, eğitim ortamlarında adaptasyon yeteneğiyle geniş çapta tanınırken, KTÜ Tıp Fakültesinin program değerlendirme yaklaşımı, tıp eğitiminin karmaşık taleplerini karşılamak üzere uyarlanmış özgün bir yöntem sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, modelin program hesap verebilirliğini artırma, müfredat tasarımını toplumsal sağlık ihtiyaçlarıyla uyumlu hale getirme ve çeşitli paydaş perspektiflerini entegre etme kapasitesine dikkat çekilmektedir. Bu vaka çalışması, karmaşık eğitim bağlamlarında CIPP uygulamak isteyen kurumlar için tekrar edilebilir bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
