The Academic Products Development of Bureau of Vector Borne Diseases under Department of Disease Control Standardization

Abstract

          This study is part of the Routine to Research (R2R) program, using the project evaluation research method to demonstrate the development of academic products under standardization of the Bureau of Vector Borne Disease. The research evaluation was based on information collected between the years 2012 and 2017. CIPP Model by Stufflebeam was used as a research tool. This model’s core parts are context, input, process and product evaluation. The research methodology included collecting information from documents and previous project evaluations done over the years. The research tools were the product development forms which had been adopted from the 2nd strategic report form, and the product evaluation form based on CIPP Model.

          The result of this study indicates that the strength of the product development project is its Input. Sufficient budgeting for the project led to its successful outcome. The objectives of this project set by the Bureau of Vector Borne Disease and their context evaluation were fulfilled. When the objectives and outcomes met, the project would be likely to succeed. Another strength of the project is its Process. Once the objectives were set, planning was made related to those aims. Consequently, productivity was clearly processed. The indicators and evaluation were also clarified. The weakness of this product development project was its Product. Although the academic products were produced in relation to its objectives set by the Department of Disease Control, the products were not evaluated for their practicality and users’satisfaction. The lack of complete information may affect further development of academic products.
