Abstract | Conventional approaches to evaluating vocational education have often been criticized for failing to deal holistically with the institution or program being evaluated. Integrated quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods have documented benefits; therefore, it would be useful to consider possibility of developing a model for evaluating vocational institutions/programs based on the holistic approach that traditional Chinese physicians (TCPs) use in diagnosing and treating medical problems. TCPs have developed a technique for approaching their clients through four types of physical examination: inspecting their appearance, smelling their odor, taking their pulse, and questioning their symptoms. By analogy with the TCP model of physical examination, a TCP model has been proposed for evaluating a vocational education institutions' strengths/weaknesses and the degree to which its objectives are being met. The model's main steps are as follows: (1) establish a collaborating team to plan and coordinate the evaluation; (2) develop formal evaluation purpose, scope, and criteria statements; (3) develop evaluation questions for the whole institution and each of its divisions; (4) select appropriate data collection techniques (measurement, investigation, observation, interview); (5) collect and analyze data; and (6) synthesize and judge the evaluation outcomes.
