College of Basic Education The Public Authority of Applied Education and Training, Kuwait
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this research is to explore an alternative method for Interior Design program accreditation process, showing the advantages and disadvantages of the typical accreditation and present a new, tested, method for evaluating interior design program outcomes. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was implemented in this research. The findings illustrated that the evaluation method eliminated several challenges, such as human prejudice, site visit time constrains, and overseas travel issues. Ten (N=10) reviewers were selected, using snow-ball sampling technique, to evaluate students’ projects. Result: Results from the study shows the alternative evaluation methodology eliminated several issues, such as Site visit time constrains, travel expenses, overseas travel issues, limited number of reviewers, and Human prejudice. In the meantime, the alternative evaluation method provides advantages such as expansion of CIDA accreditation, providing services during lockdowns. Conclusion: This methodology will enable expansion of CIDA accreditation to overseas institutions without any cost implications.
