Abstract

During the decades of continuous development of engineering ethics education, engineering ethics education has attracted more and more attention. Moreover, many colleges and universities around the world have set up various forms of engineering ethics courses. Engineering ethics courses need to be evaluated to see how effective they are. Timely and effective evaluation can not only test students' learning effect but also promote the improvement of engineering ethics curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to try to construct the evaluation system of engineering ethics education curriculum effect. Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model is considered as the most widely used training effect evaluation model in the world. It has been more than 60 years since Donald L. Kirkpatrick at the University of Wisconsin proposed the model in 1959. This study's first and most important concern is the feasibility of applying the model in the interdisciplinary field. Whether the successful application of Kirkpatrick's model in enterprise training can also achieve good results in school education, especially in engineering ethics education, and how feasible it is. After analyzing the question from two aspects: (1) the relationship between education and training; (2) the goals of engineering ethics education and the logic of Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, this paper concludes that Kirkpatrick's evaluation model could be used for reference in engineering ethics education evaluation. Then, based on Kirkpatrick's evaluation model and the characteristics of engineering ethics education curriculum instruction, this study designs the evaluation system of engineering ethics education courses from a macroscopic perspective. The evaluation system is also divided into four levels: Reaction Level, Learning Level, Behavior Level, and Result Level. Finally, from the perspective of the concrete implementation of the system framework, the specific contents of the framework are further sorted out and summarized.
