JIMENEZ MORENO, José Alfonso; TAFOYA RODARTE, Ana Elizabeth  y  BOROEL CERVANTES, Brenda Imelda. Formative Evaluation of Graduate Programs: A Case at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. RMIE [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.93, pp.483-509.  Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 1405-6666.

The article addresses the problem of evaluating graduate programs in Mexico. Since the 1970s, such evaluations have been consolidated for accreditation by outside agencies, and feedback on the programs' formative specifics has been prevented. The current study presents the results of a formative evaluation of the master's program in education at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California; the evaluation was based on the consumer-oriented model proposed by Michael Scriven. The results permitted providing feedback on the program according to the perspectives of direct and indirect consumers. In this manner, the study contributes to satisfying the need to reflect on the formative role of the evaluation of graduate programs in Mexico.

Palabras llave : program evaluation; formative evaluation; higher education; methods of evaluation; institutional self-evaluation.
