Abstract

Because of the role of universities in the education of generations, checking the achievement of objectives and the quality of education is necessary and the internal evaluation is among the most widely accepted method for this purpose. The aim of this study was conducting a comparative internal evaluation among nursing groups of the Islamic Azad Universities located in the province. Materials and Methods: This research is a descriptive study. Study population consisted of students, alumni and faculty members of nursing groups of Islamic Azad University in West Azerbaijan Province in 2014. A sample of 70 nursing students and 40 alumni from each educational group were selected. Valid and reliable questionnaires along with some checklists, were used to collect data form group managers, faculties, students and alumni. The questionnaire’s reliability was achieved using Cronbach's alpha, and its validity was obtained by the faculties view. The data were analyzed by SPSS Software version 21. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the research. Results: Analysis of the data showed that the lowest satisfaction rate were among input factors such as the equipment and the highest satisfaction rates were among output factors such as the factors related to the quality of the educational programs. Conclusion: The results show that the evaluated units ranged themselves "favorable" or "highly favorable". But the fact may be somehow different according to the results of external evaluations both in respect to the analogy between the units and in the evaluation of each unit individually. It seems that the results of internal evaluation without external evaluation may be seductive.
