Planning, Implementing

and evaluating:

Understanding the

Connections

Lesson 3

The Evaluation Cycle: The

Connections

Planning is an initial step in

curriculum development.

Planning includes determining the

needs through an assessment.

Needs would include those of the

learners, the teachers, the

community and the society as these

relate to curriculum.

After the needs have been

identified, the intended outcomes

are set.

Then a curricularist should find out

in planning the ways of achieving

the desired outcomes.

Together with the methods and

strategies are the identification of

the supporting materials.

All of these should be written and

should to include the means of

evaluation.

Implementation continues after

planning.

The planned curriculum which

was written should be

implemented.

As a teacher, this is one of the

major roles that you do in the

school.

A curriculum planner can also

be a curriculum implementor.

With a well written curriculum plan,

a teacher can execute this with the

help of instructional materials,

equipment, resource materials and

enough time.

It is you, as a teacher, who will add

more meaning to the various

activities in the classroom.

The skill and ability of the teacher

to impart guide learning are

necessary in the curriculum

implementation.

• It is one of the most crucial

processes in curriculum

development.

• Curriculum implementation

means putting into practice the

written curriculum that has been

designed in syllabi, course of

study, curricular guides and

subjects.

It is a process wherein the learners acquire the planned or intended knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are aimed at enabling the same learners to function effectively in the society.

• Implementing means using the plan as a guide to engage with the learners in the teacher-learning process with the end in view that learning has occurred and learning outcomes have been achieved.

Evaluation follows

implementation.

The focus of this chapter is

evaluation after planning, and

implementation was done.

It is necessary to find out at this

point, if the planned or written

curriculum was implemented

successfully and the desired

learning outcomes were achieved.

Curriculum evaluation is a component

of curriculum development that

responds to public accountability.

It looks into educational reforms or

innovations that happen in the

teacher’s classrooms, the school,

district, division or the whole

educational system as well.

It is establishing the merit and worth

of a curriculum.

Curriculum evaluation as a big idea

may follow evaluation models

which can be used for programs

and projects.

These models discussed in the

previous lesson guide the process

and the corresponding tools that

will be used to measure outcomes.

Test results will only be used as

one of the pieces of evidence of

evaluation.

For at the end, the purpose of

evaluation is to improve and not to

prove.
