Abstract

The meta-evaluation of dental education evaluation and accreditation was conceptualized as 'evaluating the evaluation and accreditation system' in order to improve the quality of evaluation. In order to perform meta-evaluation of dental education evaluation and accreditation, which seeks improvement directions by comprehensively and systematically evaluating and analyzing dental education evaluation and accreditation, the development of evaluation criteria should be preceded. The purpose of this study is to redefine the direction of dental education evaluation and accreditation and to establish improve-ment plans by developing criteria for meta-evaluation and confirming its validity. In this study, the meta-evaluation criteria and sub-evaluation system for evaluation and accreditation by Korean Institute of Dental Education Evaluation (KIDEE) were developed. In order to confirm the validity and reliability of the meta-evalu-ation criteria and sub-evaluation system, a questionnaire was conducted targeting the self-evaluation members of the evaluation target institutions with a high understanding of evaluation and the evaluation and accreditation members of KIDEE. The developed meta-evaluation criteria and subsystem for evaluation and accreditation should be used for the purpose of introducing a quality improvement system for evaluation and accreditation. It is expected that the meta-evaluation of KIDEE will be conducted regularly as a meta-evaluation criteria and sub-system faithfully to this purpose.
