520 This study evaluated a college preparation program for
students from under-represented groups in higher education
to help the program staff improve its effectiveness and
increase positive impact on student participants. The
program's effectiveness and its impact were evaluated
based on an evaluation model (Umbrella Model) that was
developed by synthesizing the literature, and the model
generated components that are known to be effective. The
model also was used as the conceptual framework for this
study, especially to emphasize the needs of the student
participants
520 Two research questions were asked: (1) To what extent does
the program reflect the components of the Umbrella Model
for college preparation programs that are known to be
effective? (2) What is the impact of the program on
participating students? To answer these questions, two
survey questionnaires were developed based on the model;
one is for students and the other is for teachers and
staff. Data were collected from the questionnaires for
students and teachers/staff of the program, and analyzed
to see the program's implementation of the components of
the model and impact on student participants
520 The analyses show that, overall, the evaluated program has
successfully implemented most components of the Umbrella
Model, but with a few exceptions. There are a few
components that the program needs to improve or develop
including parental encouragement and involvement,
students' academic preparation, saliency of sponsoring
institution, and having a mentor program
520 In addition to the findings, recommendations were made for
program practice including better communication between
teachers and staff, program evaluation by students, and a
more respectful attitude of the program staff members
toward research
