evaluation


Why we should evaluate any curriculum ?

-Students could be dissatisfied with the current curriculum and methods of teaching.
-Students are not achieving the desired goals set in the curriculum.
-There is a change in the student market.
-The professional expectations could be changing, which in turn call for a change in the curriculum.
-There could also be changes in the time and staff resources.

You can look at the following factors while evaluating a curriculum:
+Does the curriculum encourage students to use their own reasoning and thinking to find solutions to real-world problems in a more productive and realistic way?
+Does it give them a practical knowledge about the topic being taught?
+Does it help students to adopt lateral thinking and form their opinions about a particular topic or concept?
