Proposed Evaluation for the Quality of Training for Student-Teachers in the Mathematics Department According to the Kirkpatrick Model

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the reality of the quality of training of students applying to the Department of Mathematics according to the Kirkpatrick model by identifying the views of the students of the fourth stage / College of Education - Department of Mathematics at Al-Mustansiriyah University towards the quality of their training according to the four axes of the Kirkpatrick model (reaction - Learning - behavior - results) in addition to a proposed axes for the quality of student-applicant performance, The research also aims to develop a future vision for how residents can apply this model. The descriptive analytical method was used in the current research, and to achieve its goals, a scale was built to evaluate the quality of training from the point of view of the students - the implementers themselves. To extract its apparent validity, it was presented to a group of experts specialized in mathematics teaching methods, and its reliability was calculated through the Cronbach's alpha equation. The scale consisted of (21) items that were applied after completing the practical application period on a sample of (50) male and female students from the Mathematics Department - Fourth Stage / College of Education - Al-Mustansiriyah University. The search results were summarized in: First: The views of the research sample agreed in most of the paragraphs of the proposed model’s axes, and they were very high. Second: Convergence of the viewpoints of male and female students - applied in evaluating the quality of their training. Third: Develop a future vision for the mechanism for implementing the proposed evaluation model. After obtaining the results, a set of recommendations and proposals were presented that would benefit from the research and its results.
