The Voices of Evaluation
Nancy L. Bennett, PhD
A b s t r a c t
Evaluation in continuing medical education (CME) is a traditional part of
planning but is often not approached with the same level of sophistication as other parts
of the teaching/learning transaction. An understanding of the models and schema in the
literature allows broader and more reasoned thinking about effective evaluation. This
article briefly describes and compares several models and schema that are important to
adult education and CME. The contributions of qualitative and quantitative evaluation
approaches in CME point to the need for the field to create a new model to extend our
current thinking.
