8.1 INTRODUCTION
In the previous unit, we have discussed the process of curriculum planning and
designing in the preceding units. You also studied the constraints which influence
the decisions on curriculum development. Thus, so far you might have developed
an understanding about the concept and process of curriculum planning and
development.

In the previous unit, you came across the expression ‘evaluation’. Evaluation
is an essential component of curriculum planning and the development process.
Curriculum evaluation is a process of delineating, obtaining and providing
information useful for making decisions about curriculum development and
implementation. In other words, to develop an effective and need-based
curriculum you have to base your decisions on empirical evidence.

In this unit we will discuss the concept and importance of curriculum evaluation
in the overall process of the development and implementation of curriculum.
We shall also discuss various aspects of curriculum evaluation. You will also
study the methods of restructuring curriculum. The discussion in this unit will
enable you to participate in this regular and meaningful activity. By doing so
you will be able to achieve the pre-specified objectives.

Understanding Curriculum
8.2 OBJECTIVES
After going through this unit you should be able to:
 discuss the need for curriculum evaluation;
 identify different sources for curriculum evaluation;
 evaluate a given curriculum or a part of it after considering different aspects;
and
 use different methods to evaluate a curriculum depending on the stage of
development of the curriculum.

8.3 CURRICULUM EVALUATION FOR RENEWAL

The process of evaluation is undertaken to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of an existing or an under-construction curriculum so that curriculum
renewal can take place. Curriculum renewal can occur with a regular review
and reflection process and will focus on addressing specific identified issues.
Curriculum renewal refers to the process of reviewing the curriculum plan,
if it does not prove to be effective on the following questions, then it
requires revision.
 Whether a curriculum is suitable in present context?
 Does it the curriculum as planned is also delivered?
 What the curriculum is good for?
 How far the intended audience/target group is benefited?
 Whether it has included the latest methodologies?
From the above five questions, it is clear that curriculum renewal can only take
place when curriculum evaluation is done. Evaluation is an intergral part of
curriculum planning and designing. Here, evaluation means both assessment of
students to find how much of the intended curriculum has been transacted and
also what actually happens in a classroom as experienced by the students when
they are involved in learning activities. These experiences of the students need
not be confined to the four walls of a classroom and within the stipulated time
frame of a rigid school schedule. These could also include activities which form
part of hidden curriculum like wearing a school uniform, standing up when the
teacher enters the class and helping each other in organising an exhibition in
the school. Thus we are interested in looking at evaluation not just as the
evaluation of activities inside the classroom but also as the evaluation of the
school as a whole against the curriculum issues.
Curriculum evaluation is a process by which we can make decisions about a
curriculum in terms of course improvement, individuals involved - teachers,
students etc. and administrative effectiveness.
It focuses on discovering whether the curriculum as designed, developed and
implemented, is producing or can produce the desired results. It also helps to
identify, the strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum before implementation
52 and the effectiveness of its delivery after implementation.
The curriculum evaluation process is schematically represented in Figure 8.1. Curriculum Renewal

Fig. 8.1: Curriculum Evaluation Process

The curriculum evaluation process is not a one-shot affair. It is rather a dynamic
and cyclic process. Curriculum evaluation plays its role in all stages of the
curriculum cycle. The curriculum cycle is schematically represented in Figure 8.2.

Fig. 8.2: Conceptual Framework of Curriculum Cycle

The curriculum cycle shows that curriculum evaluation is a comprehensive activity.
It should be frequent and recurrent. It is needed at almost every stage of
curriculum design and implementation. Through frequent evaluation of curriculum
we show whether we are really moving towards the pre-fixed goals. 53
Understanding Curriculum
8.3.1 Need for Curriculum Evaluation
Now the question arises “Why do we need curriculum evaluation?” The
professional response to this question stresses improvement of student learning,
and hence improvement in the quality of education. The following are the main
purposes of curriculum evaluation.
i) To develop a new curriculum
If you wish to develop a new curriculum for a vocational course at the
secondary stage, it would be worthwhile to evaluate a current curriculum
from a different system before adopting it to our emerging requirements.
The usual practice would be to prune an existing curriculum to suit our
new requirements because at times the decisions in the planning process
can be quite arbitrary. Such a process leads to the risk of overloading
the curriculum. To make objective decisions on the development of the
new curriculum, evaluation of the existing curriculum is necessary.
ii) To review a curriculum under implementation
It may be required by policy planners and decision makers to get an
immediate feedback on the implementation of a curriculum in order to make
amendments if required for effective realisation of all the objectives related
to it. A curriculum evaluation exercise would be necessary for this purpose.
iii) To remove ‘dead wood’ and update an existing curriculum
It is essential to remove obsolete ideas and practices from a curriculum
and include current developments in the curriculum. In order to make
objective decisions about inclusion or deletion of content or practices a
curriculum evaluation exercise would again be necessary.
iv) To find out the effectiveness of a curriculum
To make an objective evaluation of the effectiveness of a curriculum in
terms of the achievement of its immediate as well as long-term objectives,
a curriculum evaluation exercise would be essential. This evaluation is
different from the evaluation of the students of a course for the purpose
of certification. The difference is that curriculum evaluation is more
comprehensive and includes student evaluation plus the feelings generated
among the students regarding appropriateness of the various components
of the curriculum.

 Curriculum Renewal
8.4 SOURCES OF CURRICULUM EVALUATION
There are several sources from where meaningful information can be collected
regarding a given school curriculum. Major sources are discussed below.
i) Learners
The learners of a particular course are the primary and most important
source of information regarding how relevant the intended curriculum is and
how well it is being implemented. The list of the output specifications can
be given to the learners who are undergoing a particular course and detailed
information can be gathered in two ways:
 by finding out whether the learners have really achieved the intended
output specifications.
 by finding out the perceptions of learners regarding the extent to which
they feel they have achieved the objectives of the course. This
information is more qualitative in nature as these arc the perceptions
of students and they are of immense value from the point of view
of revising the curriculum. Such valuable data can be collected even
from students who have passed out and who have already learnt
through the implementation of the curriculum.
ii) Teachers and other Subject Experts
In the process of curriculum renewal, teachers must be involved as they
transact the curriculum in the class. They can help in curriculum mapping,
which is the process of content alignment in accordance with curriculum
goals. The subject experts also helps in curriculum mapping from the
discipline point of view.
iii) Curriculum Experts
Curriculum experts can provide information on the modem techniques used
for developing a curriculum so that it becomes more meaningful from the
student’s point of view. The age old practice of assembling content points,
in a telegraphic language into a syllabus, has become outdated. In the
meaningful curriculum the output specifications, are made clear, i.e. the
curriculum specifies as to what the students will be able to do at the end
of the course, the conditions under which they will be observed and the
level of acceptance of errors. Curriculum experts have come a long way
since then and their assistance in curriculum evaluation is inevitable.
Therefore, curriculum experts are a good source of information for
curriculum evaluation.
iv) Policy Makers
Policy makers occupying responsible positions in apex bodies like Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), National Council of Educational
Research & Training (NCERT), National Open School (NOS) and State
Boards of Secondary Education are also excellent sources of information
for curriculum evaluation. By virtue of their position they are better informed
about the current and the envisaged changes in government policies
regarding economy, industry, agriculture and education. All these areas have
direct or indirect implications for school curriculum. There have been quite
a few instances in the recent past where even the change of governments
in a state was responsible for making specific changes in textbooks of 55
Understanding Curriculum History and Science! Therefore, policy makers can be an important source
for the curriculum evaluation.
v) Community: The local community where the products (educated/trained
persons) of a particular course are to be absorbed can be yet another
important source of information for curriculum evaluation. The requirements
of the local community can make the curriculum relevant and need-based
or otherwise. A curriculum revised on the basis of needs and requirements
of the community will be able to serve the cause of the community better
in producing better socialised and more responsible citizens.
vii) Dropouts Sample: Those students who have dropped out of a particular
course can be yet another valuable source of information for curriculum
evaluation. These students can pin-point the curricular factors that might
have been responsible for their withdrawal from the course. A diagnostic
test administered on these dropouts can provide valuable information
regarding the misconceptions generated by the present curriculum. This
feedback will help in modifying or improving the curriculum.
vii) Employers and Entrepreneurs: The opinion of the employers, who have
to absorb the products needed by them, will reflect on the strengths and
weaknesses of the curriculum. Those who are self-employed, even in the
unorganised service sector can provide valuable information on the strengths
and weaknesses of a particular curriculum. Such information can help in
making the curriculum socially relevant and useful.

8.5 METHODS OF CURRICULUM EVALUATION

Curriculum evaluation can be done by an external agency or by insiders (those
who are involved in the planning and development of the curriculum) or by
a combination of both the groups. A combination of outsiders and insiders would
be preferable to get a comprehensive and objective evaluation. The methods
of evaluation vary from a questionnaire based evaluation to evaluation based
on unstructured interview. The method of collecting information would depend
on the objective of evaluation. When we require more qualitative descriptions
of the implementation of the curriculum, unstructured or structured observations
56
can be used. When we require quantitative data regarding various aspects of
a curriculum being designed, a check-list can also be used. Similarly many other Curriculum Renewal
techniques can be used depending on the purpose of evaluation and the stage
of evaluation i.e., whether evaluation is being done at the development stage
or at the implementation stage. Curriculum evaluation at the planning stage is
mostly confined to job analysis or task analysis. Similarly the content analysis
that follows also requires the support of formative evaluation. These exercises
are usually not practiced in schools and so the curriculum suffers from several
drawbacks. A well prepared school curriculum should accommodate an
evaluation cycle at the planning stage also.
8.5.1 Evaluation during Curriculum Development
One of the major tasks during the development of a curriculum is to prepare
an exhaustive list of specific objectives to be achieved through the curriculum.
Once the list is prepared, it has to undergo an evaluation cycle. The list may
be supplied to a set of practicing teachers for their specific comments, additions
and deletions, if any. In addition to working teachers, information from other
individuals like prospective employers of the products, the next higher grade
teachers, a group of prospective students, planners and administrators, etc., can
be sought to check whether the entry behaviour of their grade suits the output
specifications. Based on the feedback collected from the evaluators the objectives
can be modified.
A second major task which requires the support of an evaluation exercise during
the development of a curriculum is the instructional materials that have been
prepared to achieve the objectives. These materials have to be tried out on
a sample of students for their feedback on their learning routes and difficulties.
A field tryout with a small sample is ideal in getting adequate evaluation
information from a sample. This can be used for further improvement of the
material. Data collected from the inbuilt evaluation exercises of the learning
material can also be used in modifying the learning material. Curriculum material
here refers to all learning materials which includes textbooks, self-learning text,
audio and video programmes, teacher’s manual, assignment questions, project
work, etc. Similarly, the evaluation procedures to be adopted during curriculum
development also need a tryout and possibly further modification based on data
collected through the tryout.
8.5.2 Evaluation during Curriculum Implementation
After the curriculum has been tested and the curriculum materials are duly
modified, it is important that the teachers and administrators are oriented and
trained for proper implementation of curriculum. To implement curriculum without
introductory or supporting courses would be quite a severe risk; it may lead
to the use of new materials in unsatisfactory ways. Training of the personnel
involved and the provisions of all necessary facilities and resources are essential
for successful implementation of any curriculum.
Evaluation is necessary at the time when curriculum is implemented as well as
after each offering of the course. The purpose of evaluation at this stage is
two-fold (a) to find out the areas of support needed for effective implementation
of the curriculum in schools; and (b) to control the quality of the product i.e.
the educated person. Important information to be collected at this stage includes:
The existing situation: All aspects of curriculum according to the curriculum plan
need to be studied in order to identify the missing features of the curriculum 57
Understanding Curriculum being implemented in the schools. A check-list which gives all the features of
the objectives and the content of the curriculum, students’ characteristics
necessary to begin the teaching-learning process, teachers’ characteristics
necessary for implementing the curriculum, basic assumptions regarding how
teaching and learning should take place to ensure active participation of the
students, additional materials required to implement the curriculum, organisation
of the curriculum with respect to time requirements and the order in which the
activities and the materials are to be processed, methods of implementation of
the curriculum and evaluation of students’ performance can be used to assess
the discrepancies or the gaps in the implementation of different aspects of
curriculum.
i) Effectiveness of the curriculum: The crucial question in determining the
effectiveness of curriculum is to determine the extent to which the students
attain the standards or achieve the objectives as described in curriculum
planning. Thus the effectiveness of curriculum reveals whether curriculum
is able to achieve objectives set by the social system.
Since it is not possible that cent per cent students achieve all the objectives
of the content, the question of concern is whether the minimum expected
number of students achieve the minimum specified number of objectives
according to the criteria. The criteria for judging the effectiveness of the
programme should also provide feedback from the employers and ex-
students. Effectiveness may also be considered in relative terms i.e., whether
the new curriculum is more effective than the previous one. For this a time
series study may be most appropriate.
ii) Acceptability of the programme: In addition to assessing the effectiveness
of the curriculum it is also important to assess its acceptability. Acceptability
here means whether the people involved in implementing the programme
like it or do not To get an insight into the acceptability of the programme,
the perceptions of students, teachers and the supervisors/administrators of
the school should be ascertained.
iii) Efficiency of the programme: The expressions - effectiveness and
efficiency - are used for specific purposes. The efficiency of curriculum
indicates whether curriculum is able to achieve objectives in the most
economic way in terms of minimum cost, time and energy. The effective
curriculum ensures that pre-fixed objectives are achieved irrespective of
the amount of time and/or money spent. Effective and efficient curriculum
will ensure that objectives are achieved with minimum resources efforts and
money. Efficiency means the ratio between the output and the input of energy
and resources. It is very easy to calculate efficiency of a machine in absolute
terms. However determining programme efficiency is extremely difficult in
the case of any social system, like education. Valid assessment of an
educational programme is indeed very difficult. Controlled experiments can
be of great help here but it is difficult to control the significant variables.
Nevertheless, it is important to assess the programme efficiency relative
to those of other programmes in the light of achieved effects. The major
questions posed in judging the efficiency of the programme are as follows:
 Do the outcomes of the programme justify the expenditure on the total
resources?

58  Is the given curriculum more efficient than the previous one?

 Is there any wastage of student time, teacher time or of materials and Curriculum Renewal
resources?
 Are equipment and personnel under-utilised?
 How can programme efficiency of a given programme be improved?

8.6 MODELS FOR CURRICULUM EVALUATION

There are many proposed model for curriculum evaluation such as :
a) Tyler’s Model
b) CIPP model
c) Stake’s Model
d) Kirkpatrick’s Model
e) Scriven’s Model
Let us discuss the following two models briefly.
a) Tyler’s Model
It is one of the most popular planning model developed by Tyler in 1949.
May (1986) defines that Tyler’s model considers three primary sources of
curriculum-students, society, and subject matter in formulating tentative general
objectives of the program that reflects the philosophy of education and the
psychology of learning.

GOALS

ORGANIZATION
OFINSTRUCTION
based on school-free pedagogy
FEEBACK
need for
new reform
LEARNING
in the school context

EVALUATION
based on pre-determined goals

Figure 8.3: The vicious circle of educational reform discourse

Tyler’s 1949 curriculum model is a four part linear model that consists of
objectives, instructional strategies and content, organization of learning experiences,
and assessment and evaluation that was designed based on four questions:
1. What educational purposes should the institution seek to attain? (Objectives)
2. What educational experiences are likely to attain these objectives?
(Instructional strategies and content)
3. How can these educational experiences be organized effectively? (Organization
59
of learning experiences)
Understanding Curriculum 4. How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained?
(Assessment and evaluation)
b) CIPP Model
It was developed by Daniel Stufflebeam and colleagues in the 1960s. CIPP
is an acronym for Context, Input, Process and Product. CIPP is an evaluation
model that requires the evaluation of context, input, process and product in
judging a programme’s value. The model defines evaluation as the process of
delineating, obtaining, and providing useful information for judging
decisionalternatives.

Figure 8.4: CIPP Model of evaluation

These four aspects of CIPP evaluation assist a decision-maker to answer four

basic questions:
 What should we do?
This involves collecting and analysing needs assessment data to determine goals,
priorities and objectives. For example, a context evaluation of a literacy program
might involve an analysis of the existing objectives of the literacy programme,
literacy achievement test scores, staff concerns (general and particular), literacy
policies and plans and community concerns, perceptions or attitudes and needs.[1]
 How should we do it?
This involves the steps and resources needed to meet the new goals and
objectives and might include identifying successful external programs and
materials as well as gathering information.
 Are we doing it as planned?
This provides decision-makers with information about how well the programme
is being implemented. By continuously monitoring the program, decision-makers
learn such things as how well it is following the plans and guidelines, conflicts
arising, staff support and morale, strengths and weaknesses of materials, delivery
60
and budgeting problems.
 Did the programme work? Curriculum Renewal

By measuring the actual outcomes and comparing them to the anticipated

outcomes, decision-makers are better able to decide if the program should be
continued, modified, or dropped altogether. This is the essence of product
evaluation.[

8.7 RESTRUCTURING CURRICULUM

Any given curriculum needs restructuring prior to its implementation. This
restructuring can be done at a macro-level and at a micro-level. At the macro-
level obsolete elements may be removed, recent developments in the field may
be added and the sequence of content may be rearranged. At the micro-level,
a teacher may find the sequence of content suitable for a presentation. But if
(s)he wishes to have participative techniques of teaching, the sequence may not
be suitable and so (s)he would like to reorganise the sequence of the content
to suit her mode of presentation. Such micro-level reorganisation is often done
by teachers who are innovative in their teaching approach. There could be as
many ways of micro-level reorganisation of curriculum as there are teachers.
Pre-testing of restructured curriculum: Macro-level restructuring when carried
out on an existing curriculum requires to be pre-tested prior to implementation.
This testing would reveal whether the envisaged changes have the desired effect
or whether the curriculum still needs modification. It is preferable to do such
restructuring under actual teaching-learning conditions.
Search for affirmative models for curriculum revision: The techniques of
curriculum revision described in this unit have been in use since long and more
dynamic models are being developed by professionals in various fields. Some
of the relevant points of such models developed in technical and vocational
education, medical education, etc., could be of interest to those who are involved
in curriculum revision even at the school level. There should be a constant search
for such models, by educational planners and implementors at the school level.
Perhaps, for secondary education a suitable and dynamic model could be
developed by those concerned with secondary curriculum development. 61

8.8 LET US SUM UP

In this unit you have studied five reasons that may necessitate a curriculum
revision exercise, viz., i) to modernise a curriculum, ii) to remove ‘dead wood*
from a given curriculum, iii) to make a curriculum more efficient, iv) to reduce
the gap between what is intended and what is actually realised, and v) to realise
the latent curriculum which may not be so tangible. You have also studied four
purposes of curriculum evaluation viz., i) to develop a new curriculum programme
based on the evaluation report of an existing curriculum, ii) to review an ongoing
programme, iii) to remove obsolete material from a curriculum and update it
with recent developments in the field, and, iv) to study how effective an ongoing
programme is.

You have studied a variety of sources from where useful data for curriculum
revision can be collected e.g. learners, teachers, subject experts, curriculum
experts, policy makers, responsible members of the community and even a
sample of dropouts of a programme. Besides these, you have studied different
aspects of curriculum evaluation. You have studied the various methods used
for curriculum evaluation and the phases during which these methods have to
be adopted. The methods discussed may not appear comprehensive enough
in view of the pace at which curriculum revision should be taking place as against
the pace of developments in various fields. Therefore, it is recommended that
more comprehensive curriculum evaluation methods should be developed by
practitioners in the field.

The last section of this unit was devoted to restructuring the curriculum at the
macro and micro-levels. Macro-level restructuring is required to make the
curriculum suited to the approach adopted by an individual teacher for transacting
it in the classroom. Micro-level restructuring by one teacher can be different
from that of another teacher who takes a different approach about the same
curriculum.

8.9 UNIT-END EXERCISES

1. Take up a secondary school subject that you have been teaching in your
62 school. Collect relevant information that you may require to evaluate the
 curriculum according to the suggestions given in this unit. Analyse the results Curriculum Renewal
and find out whether the subject curriculum requires any updating. If ‘yes’
suggest appropriate actions to be taken. If ‘no’ give reasons and justify
the same.

2. On the basis of your experience as a teacher, identify a unit which according

to your students is very difficult to learn. Plan and prepare instructional
material for its remedial teaching. Try out the material on a sample of
students and study the effectiveness of the materials prepared by you.

8.10 ANSWERS TO CHECK YOUR PROGRESS

1. The need to evaluate a school curriculum arises out of the following reasons:
 to cope with the recent advancements in the field of knowledge,
 to remove redundant material from the curriculum which has become
obsolete,
 to identify the gap between the requirements of the next grade and
the objectives of this grade and to fill in these gaps with appropriate
learning experiences,
 to make the curriculum more efficient in achieving the envisaged
objectives, and
 to assess the extent to which the latent curriculum has been achieved
(in terms of developmental objectives).
2. Learner will answer as per their understanding.
3. The drop-outs have actually been exposed to the curriculum; hence, they
can reveal the weaknesses of the curriculum. The reasons for their
withdrawal from the course can also throw light on the effectiveness of
the curriculum.
4. Employers’ reactions on curriculum are sought because they are the
consumers of the products of a particular curriculum. They are, therefore,
the best judges to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum.
The employers will also be able to tell where the students are able to
use the knowledge acquired in the schools in practice. Their feedback can
make the curriculum more meaningful and need-based.
5. Evaluation during implementation has two fold purpose: (a) to find out the
areas of support needed for effective implementation of the curriculum in
schools; and (b) to control the quality of the product i.e. the educated
person.
6. Objectives, instructional strategies and content, organization of learning
experiences, and assessment
7. At the macro-level restructuring, obsolete courses elements are removed
and they are substituted by recent/update content. At micro-level the teacher
does not change the existing curriculum. S/he adopts various innovative/
appropriate teaching techniques in arranging and transacting curriculum. At
micro-level the teacher uses his/her resourcefulness in transacting curriculum. 63
