Abstract
This chapter will introduce the reader to a variety of different evaluation models that can be used to review a problem-based learning (PBL) program. Some evaluation models (e.g., paradigm, logic, and Kirkpatrick models) require an outside evaluator to conduct the review, while others are driven by the program participants' perspective (e.g., strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats [SWOT]; utilization-focused; and responsive models) for the evaluation. Several program evaluation tips are discussed, such as brainstorming with colleagues prior to starting an evaluation of a PBL program so everyone is involved and thinking collectively, determining what type of data to collect, how it will be collected, and by whom. Finally, recommendations for future study that involve researching the best evaluation model to evaluate a PBL program within a collegiate teacher education environment are provided.
