My Learning Essentials

Curriculum evaluation is a new idea for many teachers, not knowing that
every day; the teacher is involved in several components of evaluation. There are
two (2) ways of looking at curriculum evaluation.

 Curriculum Program Evaluation may focus on the overall

1 aspects of a curriculum or the curriculum or the curriculum

itself. More often it refers to big curriculum program.
 Example of these programs that may undergo a curriculum
program evaluation are the K to 12 Curriculum and the
Outcomes-Based Approach in Mathematics Curriculum.

component may include separate evaluation of (a) achieved
learning outcomes, (b) curriculum process and (c)
instructional materials.
