2002年高等教育机构合并的一个基本目的是使较先进的大学和那些因南非政府种族隔离制度而历来处于不利地位的大学能够共享稀缺资源。西开普省本科护理教育的共同教学平台于2005年建立，符合高等教育体系的转型，是三所大学之间的合作倡议。为了对通用教学平台进行评价，采用了情境、输入、过程、产品（CIPP）研究模型。通过分层有目的抽样的方法，我们选择了108名参与者，其中包括3名副校长、3名院长、3名系主任、18名讲师和81名学生。与教职员进行了半结构化访谈，而学生则参加了焦点小组访谈。根据文献和CIPP评估模型开发了开放式问题，并用于指导访谈。这使研究人员能够对参与者的经历进行丰富的描述。对数据进行了归纳分析。结果显示，由于对协作的概念及其目的缺乏共同的理解，协作的主要目的未能实现；缺乏合作的意愿和缺乏资源共享。根据调查结果，制定了有效合作的框架。(C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
A-fundamental purpose of mergers between higher education institutions (HEls) in 2002 was to enable sharing of scarce resources between more advanced universities and those historically disadvantaged by the apartheid system of the South African Government. A common teaching platform for undergraduate nursing education in the Western Cape was established in 2005, in line with the transformation of the higher education system, as a collaborative initiative between three universities.In order to evaluate the common teaching platform, Stuffelbeam's context, input, process, product (CIPP) research model was employed. A sample of 108 participants was selected through stratified purposive sampling, and included three deputy vice-chancellors, three deans, three heads of department, 18 lecturers and 81 students. Semi-structured interviews were held with the staff members, whilst the students participated in focus group interviews. Open-ended questions informed by literature and the CIPP evaluation model were developed and used to guide the interviews. This enabled the researcher to obtain a rich description of the participants' experiences. The data were analysed inductively. The results revealed that the main purpose of collaboration was not achieved due to the lack of a common understanding of the concept of collaboration and its purpose; a lack of readiness to collaborate and a lack of sharing of resources. A framework for effective collaboration was developed based on the results. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
