The CIPP Model is presented in this module. Hopefully, the students will be able to apply their learnings as they evaluate a portion of the curriculum they are pursuing.
Evaluators conduct systematic, data-based inquiries about whatever is being evaluated. Inquiry cannot be based on pure hearsay or perceptions but must be based on concrete evidence and data to support the inquiry process.
Evaluators provide competent performance to stakeholders. The evaluators must be people or persons of known competence and generally acknowledged in the educational field.
Evaluators ensure the honesty and integrity of the entire evaluation process. As such, the integrity of authorities who conduct the evaluation process must be beyond reproach.
Evaluators respect the security, dignity, and self-worth of the respondents, program participants, clients, and other stakeholders with whom they interact. They cannot act as if they know everything but must listen patiently to the accounts of those whom they are evaluating.
These evaluation guiding principles can be used at various levels and serve as benchmarks for good practices in educational evaluation: institutional level - when we evaluate learning, policy level - when we evaluate institutions, international level - when we rank and evaluate the performance of various institutions of higher learning.
Considers all major evaluation approaches to be based on a common ideology which is that of liberal democracy. It is believed that an individual has freedom of choice, is unique, and that the evaluation process is guided by empirical inquiry truly based on objective standards. However, all evaluations are based on subjectivist ethics in which the individual's subjective experiences figure prominently.
Knowledge is acquired which is capable of external verification and evidence through methods and techniques universally accepted and through the presentation of data.
Places evaluation approaches into one of three groups according to their orientation toward the role of values, and ethical consideration: political orientation (pseudo-evaluation), question orientation (quasi-evaluation), and values orientation (true evaluation).
Politically Controlled and Public Relations studies are based on an objectivist epistemology from an elite perspective. They seek to misrepresent value interpretations about some object.
Approaches that provide a knowledge and value base for making and defending decisions, or identify and assess potential costs & benefits of competing policies.
Accreditation/certification and Connoisseur approaches that determine if institutions, programs, and personnel should be approved, or critically describe, appraise, and illuminate an object.
Adversary and Client-centered approaches that present the pros and cons of an issue, or foster understanding of activities and how they are valued in a given setting.
Although both approaches (politically controlled studies and public relations) seek to misrepresent value interpretations about some object, they go about it a bit differently
Neither of these approaches (politically controlled studies and public relations) is acceptable evaluation practice, although the seasoned reader can surely think of a few examples where they have been used
