Researchers developed a comprehensive evaluation system for hospital infection prevention and control courses in China. The curriculum evaluation system used the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) model to address the lack of specific tools for assessing teaching effectiveness. After two rounds of Delphi surveys involving experts from around the country, the final system featured four first-level indicators, 13 second-level indicators, and 52 third-level indicators. Among the first-level indicators, the "Course Process" was given the highest weight (0.5857), indicating its importance in evaluating course quality, followed by the "Course Product" (0.2389) and then "Course Context" and "Course Input," which had the same weight (0.0877). The researchers report that their evaluation system is "CIPP-oriented, comprehensive, and reliable," providing "a practical framework for comprehensively assessing the teaching effectiveness of the courses and enhancing educational quality."
