concentrates on:
Context of the programme
Input into the programme
Process within the programme
Product of the programme
16. img.jpg
Stufflebeam’s cipp Model
Key Emphasis: Decision-making
Purpose: To facilitate rational and continuing
decision-making
Strengths: a) Sensitive to feedback
b) Rational decision making among
alternatives
Evaluation: Identify potential alternatives, set up
activity quality control systems
18. Also known as COUNTENANCE MODEL
ANTECEDENTS – Conditions prior ro curriculum
evaluation
TRANSACTIONS – Interaction that occurs
OUTCOMES

19. Key Emphasis: Description and judgement of data
Purpose: To report the ways different people see
curriculum
1. Responds to audience needs for information
2. Orients more toward program activities than results
3. Presents all audience view points(multi perspective)

24. APPROACHES TO CURRICULUM
According to Ornstein and Hunkins (1993) the main curriculum approaches are:
1. Behavioral Approach - concerned with observable and measurable aspects
of human behavior.
2. Managerial Approach - Concerned on organization and restructures the
schools
3. Systems Approach - basically a process of problem solving
4. Humanist Approach – The learners are the prime consideration.
25. APPROACHES TO CURRICULUM
Other approaches are:
1. The Four-step Approach - selection of objectives, selection of learning
experiences, organization of learning experiences and evaluation.
2. The Five-step Approach - additional step to emphasize situational analysis
3. The Seven-step Approach – Proposed by Hilda Taba.
