The objectives of the study are 1) to develop a utilization-focused internal quality assessment system for educational quality development of basic education institutions by applying empowerment evaluation, and 2) to conduct and evaluate a utilization-focused internal quality assessment system for educational quality development of basic education institutions by applying empowerment evaluation. Sixty-eight samples were selected through purposive sampling, and research and development methodology was used. Data were analyzed through content analysis, descriptive statistics, Modified Priority Needs Index, and t-test.
The study found that a utilization-focused internal quality assessment system for educational quality development consists of objectives, principles and empowerment evaluation by the supervision team, and mechanisms of the system include 1) input, 2) process, 3) output, and 4) feedback. The quality of the developed internal quality assessment system based on utilization focused evaluation, examined by experts, revealed that the system was appropriate, useful, possible, suitable and extremely accurate.
