| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 科技管理所 === 106 === Technology evolution is the driving force behind the economic development and industrial upgrading. However, in recent years, due to budget constraints, many countries have actively promoted the concept of "evaluation" to strengthen the research, implementation, monitoring and allocation of funding of Science and Technology Program and also ensured the realization of policies and objectives. If we returned to the purpose of Ex-ante evaluation, it’s applied to examine whether the goal of the program is correct and the objectives of the program can be achieved and used those results to allocate resources. Besides, the quality of Ex-ante evaluation will determine consequences of Ex-post evaluation and influence the future review. In addition, adjusting ex-ante evaluation will be the first step in enhancing the efficiency and systematic circulation of our scientific system.
The first stage of this study used Documentary Analysis to research STI system and the process of development of international organizations (EU), advanced countries (Canada) and Taiwan. By examining the formation, execution and performance evaluation of technology programs, our study realized international trends of the mechanism in development and management of technology programs and chose " enhance the quality and efficiency of Planning and Evaluation in Science and Technology Program " as the main research direction. Among those process, we found the potential advantages of using Logic Model and collected aspects from its initiation, instructions, the status of development in different countries to the combination with evaluation criteria and also focused on the linkage of the project evaluation cycle. For more practical advice and improvements, in the second stage, we conducted Expert In-depth Interview to discuss suggestions found out from Documentary Analysis and the system of Evaluation of Science and Technology Program in Taiwan. Through the collection of two phases of academic observation and practical expert experiences, our study hopes to provide the valuable references and the direction of adjustments in the future operation system.
The result shows that when designing the research proposal for Science and Technology Program, we should consider how to conduct the effective evaluation and do the systematic and coherent cycle before receiving applications. On top of this, we can try adjustments from " adopting Logic Model to increase efficiency ", " improving the current structure of Science and Technology Program proposal ", " adjusting concepts and thinking in Science and Technology Program " and " enhancing innovation and internal energy of the evaluation " to reinforce the relationship between Ex-ante and Ex-post Evaluation and construct the more cyclical evaluation mechanism of Science and Technology Program in Taiwan.
