Abstract:

In the paper we present partial results from the research project no. 014EU-4/2016 “Preparation of content and structure of subjects focused on the development of basic entrepreneurial knowledge and skills of graduates from selected medical study fields”. We deal with issues of improvement of education evaluation processes. The core of the paper contains the evaluation models based on the systemic approach, characteristic features and instructions for their application and interview methods in three types of businesses differentiated by size. The research was conducted with 267 respondents from three groups of businesses differentiated by size (number of employees) by means of the questionnaire and interview methods. The purpose of empirical research was to establish the applicability of models of education evaluation. Based on the research results, it is concluded that (based on the respondents’ opinion) the evaluation of the benefits of systemic based education in businesses is a great challenge for the future, and it is likely to bring benefits to the efficiency and quality of education in businesses. On the other hand, problems occur mainly in quantifying the benefits of education and are related to the lack of knowledge of indicators that would enable businesses to conduct all the steps of the evaluation process. The issues analyzed in the paper require a deeper elaboration from theoretical aspect, which would facilitate its application in practice.
