Abstract
This research study dealt with the analysis of the compite program implementation in the headquarters of Metapán, Juayúa, Acajutla, Santa Tecla, San Marcos and La Union. The research question that led this research study was “In what way is the implementation of the compite program being carried out in order to meet the goals of the 202 educational plan?” The method applied by the researchers was the qualitative research with the use of a needs assessment to know the assets and liabilities of the COMPITE program implementation. The sources of information used in this study were three interviews, a self-assessment and a checklist. The researchers selected a target population of six headquarters coordinators, twelve teachers, and the general coordinator of the program to administer the instruments. The data gathered from the interviews were analyzed using the Krippendorf content analysis. Through the needs assessment, the researchers found out that the COMPITE program had coordination and communication problems, since its components have not been implemented effectively leading to students’ poor attendance and less teachers’ involvement in the implementation of the program. Furthermore, the researchers observed that teachers from Centro Cultural Salvadoreño do a very good job and they use all the resources that the COMPITE document establishes. This means, that a program can be successful with the appropriate resources and teachers. The only aspect that could not be analyzed was the opinion of the general coordinator, since it was impossible to interview her.
