Comprehensive Discussion on Chapter 6: Curriculum Evaluation
6.4 Curriculum Evaluation at the School or School System Level
Curriculum evaluation at the school or school system level involves
assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the curriculum across an entire
school or district. This type of evaluation is crucial for ensuring that the
educational program aligns with broader educational goals, meets the needs
of the community, and prepares students for future challenges. It also serves
as a basis for making decisions about curriculum revisions, resource
allocation, and professional development.
Key Aspects of Curriculum Evaluation at the School or School
System Level
1. Systematic Evaluation Frameworks
o Ralph Tyler (1902-1994): Tyler, often referred to as the "father
of educational evaluation," developed a systematic approach to
curriculum evaluation that is still widely used today. His model,
known as the "Tyler Rationale," involves identifying educational
purposes, selecting learning experiences, organizing
experiences, and evaluating the outcomes. At the school or
school system level, Tyler’s framework is essential for assessing
whether the curriculum meets its objectives across the entire
institution.
Philippine Context: Tyler’s influence is evident in the Philippine education
system, where schools are encouraged to adopt systematic evaluation
processes to ensure that the curriculum aligns with the goals of the
Department of Education (DepEd). This systematic approach helps schools in
the Philippines maintain a high standard of education and continuously
improve their curriculum.
2. Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) Model
o Daniel Stufflebeam (1936-2017): Stufflebeam’s CIPP model is
a comprehensive framework for curriculum evaluation that
focuses on four key components: Context (assessing needs and
objectives), Input (evaluating resources and strategies), Process
(monitoring the implementation), and Product (assessing
outcomes). This model is particularly useful at the school or
system level, where it provides a holistic view of the curriculum’s
effectiveness.
Philippine Context: The CIPP model is highly applicable in the Philippine
education system, where schools are required to evaluate not just the
content of the curriculum but also the processes involved in its delivery.
Schools use this model to ensure that all aspects of the curriculum, from
planning to implementation to outcomes, are functioning effectively.
3. School-Based Management (SBM) and Curriculum Evaluation
o David Hopkins: Hopkins, a leading figure in educational reform,
emphasized the importance of school-based management (SBM)
in improving educational outcomes. SBM involves giving schools
more autonomy in decision-making, including curriculum
evaluation. This approach allows schools to tailor their curriculum
to the specific needs of their students and community, making
the evaluation process more relevant and impactful.
Philippine Context: In the Philippines, SBM has been implemented as part
of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA). Schools are given the
responsibility to evaluate their curriculum, ensuring that it meets the unique
needs of their students while aligning with national educational goals. This
localized approach to curriculum evaluation has empowered schools to make
data-driven decisions that enhance the quality of education.
4. Accreditation and Quality Assurance
o Malcolm Knowles (1913-1997): Known for his work in adult
education, Knowles also contributed to the development of
accreditation processes, which are crucial for curriculum
evaluation at the system level. Accreditation involves an external
evaluation of a school’s curriculum to ensure it meets certain
standards of quality. This process is essential for maintaining the
credibility and effectiveness of educational institutions.
Philippine Context: In the Philippines, schools undergo accreditation by
various bodies, such as the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools,
Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU). This external evaluation helps schools
maintain high standards of education and ensures that their curriculum is up-
to-date and relevant to current educational demands.
5. Use of Data and Analytics in Curriculum Evaluation
o Michael Fullan (1940-present): Fullan, a prominent
educational researcher, has highlighted the importance of using
data and analytics in educational reform. At the school or system
level, data-driven decision-making is critical for evaluating the
effectiveness of the curriculum. Schools collect and analyze data
on student performance, teacher effectiveness, and resource
allocation to make informed decisions about curriculum changes.
Philippine Context: The use of data in curriculum evaluation is becoming
increasingly common in the Philippines. Schools are encouraged to use data
analytics to track student progress, identify areas for improvement, and
make evidence-based decisions about curriculum adjustments. This data-
driven approach helps ensure that the curriculum is responsive to the needs
of students and aligned with the goals of the DepEd.
Impact on Philippine Education
1. Aligning with National Education Goals:
Curriculum evaluation at the school or system level ensures that
schools are meeting the educational goals set by the DepEd. This
alignment is crucial for maintaining consistency in educational
standards across the country and for ensuring that all students have
access to a high-quality education.
2. Enhancing Curriculum Relevance and Responsiveness:
Through systematic evaluation, schools can ensure that their
curriculum remains relevant to the needs of their students and the
demands of the 21st century. This is particularly important in the
Philippine context, where there is a strong emphasis on developing
students’ skills in areas such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and
digital literacy.
3. Improving Accountability and Transparency:
School-level curriculum evaluation promotes accountability by ensuring
that schools are held responsible for the quality of their educational
programs. In the Philippines, this is reinforced through processes such
as accreditation and school-based management, which require schools
to demonstrate the effectiveness of their curriculum.
4. Supporting Continuous Improvement:
Regular curriculum evaluation at the school or system level fosters a
culture of continuous improvement. Schools are encouraged to
regularly review and revise their curriculum based on feedback from
stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and the
community. This process ensures that the curriculum remains dynamic
and responsive to changing educational needs.
5. Promoting Equity in Education:
By evaluating the curriculum at the school or system level, educators
can identify and address disparities in educational access and
outcomes. In the Philippines, this is particularly important for ensuring
that all students, regardless of their background or location, have
access to quality education that prepares them for future success.
Conclusion
Curriculum evaluation at the school or school system level is a critical
process that ensures the effectiveness, relevance, and equity of educational
programs. By employing systematic frameworks like the Tyler Rationale and
the CIPP model, using data-driven decision-making, and engaging in
accreditation and school-based management, schools can continuously
improve their curriculum to meet the needs of their students and
community. In the Philippines, these practices are essential for aligning the
curriculum with national education goals, promoting accountability, and

Creator: Ralph Tyler (1902-1994)
Historical Context: Developed in the 1940s, Tyler's model emerged
from his work on the Eight-Year Study, which aimed to improve
secondary education in the United States.
Core Principles: Tyler’s model is based on four fundamental
questions:
1. What educational purposes should the school seek to attain?
2. What educational experiences can be provided that are likely to
attain these purposes?
3. How can these educational experiences be effectively organized?
4. How can we determine whether these purposes are being
attained?
Tyler emphasized that evaluation should be objective-centered, meaning it
should focus on whether students have achieved the intended learning
outcomes.
Contribution: Tyler’s model is foundational in curriculum evaluation,
setting the stage for systematic and structured evaluation processes. It
laid the groundwork for subsequent models that expanded on his
ideas.
Impact on Philippine Education: Tyler’s model has significantly
influenced curriculum development and evaluation in the Philippines.
The Department of Education (DepEd) utilizes similar approaches to
ensure that learning objectives are clearly defined and met across
various educational programs. Tyler’s influence is also evident in the
development of the K-12 curriculum, where clear objectives guide the
learning process.
2. CIPP Model (Context, Input, Process, Product)
Creator: Daniel Stufflebeam (1936-2017)
Historical Context: Stufflebeam introduced the CIPP model in the
1960s as a comprehensive framework for evaluating educational
programs.
Core Principles:
1. Context Evaluation: Assessing the needs, problems, and
opportunities within the educational environment.
2. Input Evaluation: Evaluating the resources, strategies, and
action plans available to achieve educational goals.
3. Process Evaluation: Monitoring the implementation of the
curriculum and identifying potential improvements.
4. Product Evaluation: Measuring the outcomes of the curriculum,
including student achievements and broader educational
impacts.
The CIPP model emphasizes continuous evaluation and feedback, making it
dynamic and adaptable to changes.
Contribution: The CIPP model is widely regarded for its
comprehensive approach, covering all aspects of curriculum evaluation
from planning to outcomes. It encourages ongoing assessment and
improvement.
Impact on Philippine Education: In the Philippines, the CIPP model
is used at various levels of the education system to ensure that
curricula are relevant, effective, and aligned with national goals. For
instance, during the implementation of the K-12 curriculum, the CIPP
model helped guide the evaluation process to ensure that the new
system met the needs of Filipino students. Schools and universities
often use this model to conduct thorough evaluations of their
programs, ensuring continuous improvement.
3. Stake’s Responsive Model
Creator: Robert Stake (1927-2017)
Historical Context: Developed in the 1970s, Stake’s model was a
response to the perceived rigidity of objective-based models like
Tyler’s.
Core Principles: The Responsive Model is characterized by its focus
on the concerns and issues of stakeholders, rather than solely on pre-
set objectives. Stake’s model emphasizes the importance of context
and the need to adapt evaluation methods to the specific educational
environment.
Contribution: Stake’s model introduced the idea that evaluation
should be responsive to the needs and concerns of those directly
involved in the educational process, such as teachers, students, and
parents. It highlights the importance of qualitative data, such as
observations and interviews, in addition to quantitative data.
Impact on Philippine Education: The Responsive Model is
particularly relevant in the Philippine context, where the educational
environment can vary significantly across regions. This model allows
educators to tailor their evaluation methods to the specific needs and
contexts of their schools, ensuring that the curriculum remains
relevant and effective. In areas where resources are limited, or where
cultural factors play a significant role in education, Stake’s approach
provides a flexible and adaptive evaluation framework.
4. Scriven’s Goal-Free Evaluation Model
Creator: Michael Scriven (1928-present)
Historical Context: Introduced in the 1970s, Scriven’s Goal-Free
Evaluation Model was a departure from traditional goal-oriented
evaluations. It was developed as a critique of the overemphasis on
predefined goals in evaluation processes.
Core Principles: The Goal-Free Evaluation Model focuses on
evaluating the actual outcomes of a curriculum without considering the
stated objectives. Evaluators assess the program based on what it
actually achieves, rather than what it was intended to achieve. This
approach allows for the discovery of unintended outcomes, both
positive and negative.
Contribution: Scriven’s model is valuable for identifying the real
effects of a curriculum, beyond the limitations of its stated goals. It
provides a more holistic view of the curriculum’s impact.
Impact on Philippine Education: In the Philippines, the Goal-Free
Evaluation Model can be particularly useful in contexts where
educational programs may have unforeseen consequences, such as in
the introduction of new technologies or teaching methods. By focusing
on actual outcomes, educators can gain a more accurate
understanding of a curriculum’s effectiveness and make necessary
adjustments.
5. Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model of Evaluation
Creator: Donald Kirkpatrick (1924-2014)
Historical Context: Originally developed in the 1950s for evaluating
training programs, Kirkpatrick’s model has since been adapted for use
in educational settings.
Core Principles:
1. Reaction: Evaluating participants' immediate reactions to the
curriculum or training.
2. Learning: Assessing the knowledge or skills acquired during the
program.

improvements in organizational performance or student
outcomes.
Kirkpatrick’s model is often used in professional development and training
but is also applicable to educational curricula.
Contribution: The Four-Level Model is a practical and straightforward
framework that provides a clear pathway from immediate feedback to
long-term outcomes.
Impact on Philippine Education: Kirkpatrick’s model is particularly
relevant for evaluating teacher training programs in the Philippines. By
assessing the impact of professional development on teachers’
behavior and student outcomes, this model helps ensure that training
programs lead to meaningful improvements in classroom practice.
6. Countenance Model
Creator: Robert E. Stake (1927-2017)
Historical Context: The Countenance Model was introduced in the
1960s as an alternative to traditional evaluation models.
Core Principles: The model emphasizes two main aspects of
evaluation: description and judgment. It involves documenting what
happens in the curriculum (description) and evaluating the merit or
worth of those happenings (judgment). The model is comprehensive,
involving both antecedents (conditions before the curriculum is
implemented) and transactions (what happens during the curriculum).
Contribution: The Countenance Model offers a detailed and nuanced
approach to curriculum evaluation, focusing on both the process and
the outcomes.
Impact on Philippine Education: In the Philippine educational
context, the Countenance Model can be particularly effective for
evaluating innovative programs where both the implementation
process and outcomes need careful analysis. This model allows
educators to make informed judgments about the effectiveness of the
curriculum, taking into account the specific conditions and challenges
of the Philippine education system.
