This paper describes a multi-dimensional, ongoing approach to evaluation in a sex therapy training program. The Yale Sex Therapy Training program agencies throughout Connecticut who would meet or surpass pre-determined standards for sex therapists. Because sex therapy is a new discipline, it was deemed essential that program evaluation be developed and carried out from the very beginnings of the program and throughout its course. Evaluative findings proved essential to monitoring the quality of teaching and supervisory efforts, in assessing change in knowledge and professional activity of trainees, and in measuring impact upon the communities served. Continuous feedback led to changes in program content and format through identification of needs and problems. The experience in the Yale program confirms the recommendations of others regarding the conduct of a continuing education program. These findings strongly imply that multi-dimensional, ongoing evaluation should be an integral component in any continuing education program.
本文描述了性治疗培训项目中一种多维的、持续进行的评估方法。耶鲁性治疗培训项目面向康涅狄格州各地那些能够达到或超过性治疗师预定标准的机构。由于性治疗是一门新学科，从项目一开始并贯穿其整个过程进行项目评估被认为至关重要。评估结果对于监测教学和督导工作的质量、评估学员知识和专业活动的变化以及衡量对所服务社区的影响都被证明是必不可少的。通过识别需求和问题，持续的反馈导致了项目内容和形式的改变。耶鲁项目的经验证实了其他人关于开展继续教育项目的建议。这些发现强烈表明，多维的、持续的评估应该是任何继续教育项目不可或缺的组成部分。
