Journal of Community Positive Practices, 2015, issue 4, 3-20

Abstract: The goals of this evaluation refer to: process evaluation and results of the master program (the theoretical component of training); program relevance evaluation in terms of the current activities from the university (acquisitions and transfers) and identification of the obstacles and opportunities for practical application. The impact of the master program was performed using document analysis (master program design, curricula, selection methods, needs analysis for formation, subsumption to the strategy of the Academy of Economic Studies) and content analysis (12 interviews with trainees) focused on subjects which are correlated with the goals of the master program. The analysis monitors 4 primary (internal) dimensions: theoretical-formative, applicative, beneficial-participative, change, in relation with 3 secondary (external) dimensions, which strengthen, facilitate and integrate with the primary dimensions: general aspects, previous training/need for training, group and group dynamics. As regards the results, the general feature is the: acquisition of teaching, research and communication in English knowledge; development of a behavioural change in relation to the students, with the research activity and within the scientific community at the national and international levels and identification of obstacles that perceived as pertaining to the self of the trainees or at the institutional level.
