This
study aimed to make a meta-evaluation of the study titled Evaluation of
Measurement and Evaluation in Education Curriculum. For this purpose, the
study was conducted to determine the extent to which the research complies with
the Program Evaluation Standards determined by the Joint Committee on
Standards for Educational Evaluation (JCSEE). Methodologically, meta-evaluation
procedures were adopted in the research, and the Evaluation Accountability
Standards determined by JCSEE were considered in the transactions carried
out in this context. The Program Evaluation Standards Checklist developed by
the researchers was used to control whether the meta-evaluated research met the
required standards. For this purpose, controls were made by an internal and an
external evaluator to reveal whether the study has the qualities of accurate
planning, valid and reliable data collection, performing the necessary
analyzes, and reporting, which should be in an effective program evaluation
research. The results of the meta-evaluation indicate that the study under
examination demonstrates a high degree of alignment with the Program Evaluation
Standards used by internal and external evaluators, with a concordance rate of
88.33%. In addition, according to both evaluators, Utility Standards were met
by 88.9%, Feasibility Standards by 75%, and Accuracy Standards by 100%, while
Propriety Standards were met at a rate of 87.5% according to the external
evaluator and 75% according to the internal evaluator. Moreover, the experts
think that more information should have been provided in the research,
especially about the concepts of cultural values, interests, contexts, and
conflicts of interest. Based on the research findings, suggestions were made to
conduct program evaluation and meta-evaluation studies more effectively.
