Section 2.3.3.1 Models of Programme Evaluation

Section 2.3.3.1 Models of Programme Evaluation

While there is no simple or universal set of criteria to effectively evaluate a programme, several theoretical frameworks can be employed, such as Armitage, Bryant, & Dunhill’s (1990) 5 Stage Model, Neary’s (1996) Framework for Curriculum Evaluation, or the very accessible form developed by the University of Wisconsin (see http://learningstore.uwex.edu/pdf/G3658-1W.PDF).


Arguably the most useful for programme-level evaluation in Tertiary education (Reece & Walker, 2002) is Stufflebeam’s (1971) Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) Model which posits that evaluation should be considered in terms of 4 main headings:


Context: The setting of the course. Relates to the aims of the curriculum

Input: Relates to students, staff, & resources used

Process: The appropriateness of what happens on the course – how the input elements are used to achieve the aims and objectives

Product: Relates to the outcomes – the students who have gone through the course and what they’ve learned
