The idea of curriculum is not new, however, the way we understand and theorize it has changed over the years. Ornstein and Hunkins (2004) define curriculum as a plan that includes strategies for achieving desired goals. Much earlier, Bobbitt (1923) and Taba (1962) had approached curriculum from a wider perspective, describing the curriculum as a plan for learning, a production system, and a programme evaluation of the outcomes.
Programme evaluation, which is a very significant part of curriculum, has also been defined differently in literature. While some educators relate evaluation with measurement, the others define it as the assessment of specific objectives which need to be attained (Worthen and Sanders, 1988). Tyler (1991) briefly summarizes programme evaluation as a process essential to curriculum development. As indicated in all these definitions, programme evaluation is seen as a systematic effort that includes the collection, analysis and synthesis of information. Click here to read more…
