Abstract

This study investigates the validity of Cipp assessment model in assessing
the function of the instruction centers. It is conducted through descriptiveanalytic  method.  The  statistical  population  consists  of  90  managers  and
experts  of  the  instruction  centers  of  National  Iranian  Petrochemical
Company. After studying the initial statistical population and agreement
of their conditions with the research needs, 60 people were selected as the
statistical  sample.  The  data  were  collected  through  questionnaire.  The
questionnaires  validity  was  measured  through  Chronbach’s  α  and  a
coefficient of 87% was obtained which indicates an acceptable correlation
of  the  questions  and  absence  of  significant  dispersion  among  them.
Furthermore,  some  experts  confirmed  face  and  content  validities  of  the
questionnaires. Cipp model was tested through structural equations model
and  the  data  were  analyzed  through  binomial  test,  Friedman  variance
analysis  test,  correlation  test,  and  t-test.  The  results  indicate  that  the
experts have confirmed the four  dimensions of the model and its twenty
criteria and further verified their ability to assess the instruction centers.
In  addition,  there  is  a  significant  relationship  among  the  dimensions, criteria, and variables. This indicates that the overt variables measure the
covert variables significantly.
