(Why and What to

Evaluate)

 Curriculum Evaluation
 is deemed imperative as a form of
mechanism in addressing the requirements of
quality education.
 a significant tool in determining the merit and
worth of a particular curriculum from the time it
was conceptualised, planned, organised and
eventually, implemented.
 Curriculum Evaluation
 refers to the formal process of
determining the quality, effectiveness, or
value of a curriculum. (Stufflebeam, 1991)
 involves value judgement about the
curriculum, both in terms of its process and
its product.
 Process Evaluation
- is used if the intent falls on any of the following:
 to provide data and information that may possibly
determine the extent to which plans for curriculum
implementation have been executed and resources
were used wisely
 to provide assistance necessary for changing or
clarifying implementation plans
 Product Evaluation
- is used if the intent of curriculum evaluation is
to:
 gather, interpret and appraise curricular
attainments, as often as necessary, in order
to determine how well the curriculum
meets the needs of the students it is
intended to serve.
 Why evaluate?
Three questions to consider:
 Why evaluate the curriculum?
 What of the curriculum is going to be
evaluated?
 How is evaluation going to be done?
 Why evaluate?
 in order to determine if it meets the current
demands of educational reforms that have been
made.
 help determine appropriate and available
resources, activities, content, and methods among all
others based on the actual experiences obtained
from the curriculum implementation process.
 What to evaluate?
 Goals and Objectives
 Content and Methodology
 Outcomes or Result
 Goals and Objectives
 All the processes are based on goals and objectives, hence,
they have to be evaluated, primarily to determine whether
these goals and objectives are worthwhile bases used in
developing the program and if they are achievable that result in
the desired outcomes.
 They need to be deliberately examined through an evaluation
process for the reason that contents, materials and
methodologies of a curriculum must fit these goals and
objectives to which such program are conceptualised and
eventually developed.
 Content and Methodology
 Contents of the developed curriculum or any
educational program need to be examined and
evaluated in order to determine whether they relate
with needs of the learners for whom the curriculum
was developed.
 In order to establish the congruency between the
methodology and the curriculum objectives as well as
determine the appropriateness of the content.
 Outcomes/Results
 The evaluation of outcomes goes hand in hand with the
evaluation of objectives, content and methodology.
 These outcomes or results serve as the ultimate measure
of how successful or effective the curriculum has been in
achieving its goals and objectives.
 Outcome evaluation is conducted to draw out information
and data that can be used in improving the curriculum as
whole.
