I think that the Saylor, Alexander and Lewis Model is the best for evaluating curriculum. By evaluating the five components--the goals, subgoals, and objectives, the program of education, the specific segments of the program, instruction and the evaluation program itself, it gives us a great tool to look at our curriculum and make sound decisions for improving the program and instruction for our students.
The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model focuses on evaluation of goals...subgoals....objectives the total picture of education the different strands of the educational program instruction evaluation This model also uses summative and formative evaluation. This model also feels that context evaluation is important in establishing a strong curriculum.
I agree with all the previous comments. The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis is the best model to use in evaluating our curriculum. I find that it is very easy to evaluate with the way this model is set up.
I prefer the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model for curriculum evaluation. It offers a full comprehensive evaluation of the entire curriculum. The model is user friendly and very thorough.
I agree with everyone also. I especially like the idea (in agreement with Trudy Cobler) that it is easy to understand and explain to others - I think as an administrator leading a team of curriculum planners and evaluators, we all need to understand the method of evaluation to get a true picture of the curriculum in question.
Donna Fortune, I am not a huge fan of Saylor, Alexander and Lewis, but I too have to agree that the components they include are the best methods to evaluate the curriculum.
The Slaylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model is the best model to use for evaluating the curriculum. Learner progress is determined by curriculum evaluation.
The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model is the model that I prefer. The concepts and methods are easy to understand. The use of objectives, goals, and sub-goals makes it easy to explain.
I believe the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model is the best model for evaluating the curriculum. The steps are clear, easy to follow, and understandable.
The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model seems to be the best for evaluating curriculum. As stated in the chapter, most curriculum workers have duties outside of curriculum development and evaluation, and thus, it is important that the model be clear, concise, and simple to explain and disseminate to others.
The best model to me is the Saylor, Alexander and Lewis model. The five components seem to be able to incorporate areas that need to be assessed. Goals, subgoals, objectives, program of education as a totality, specific segments of the education program, instruction and the evaluation program.
The Saylor, Alexander and Lewis Model is the one that I prefer. To reiterate what most folks are saying - it is the easiest to understand and explain to others. It is the best method for evaluating the curriculum.
I must have looked at the CIPP model ten times and reread the text and still don't understand all of the components and how they feed into each other. Light bulbs or not, I agree with classmates; while to me, the Saylor et al model kind of bogs down in the evaluation program, it is much easier to follow overall.
I feel like a broken record when I say that I, too, feel as if he Saylor, Alexnder, and Lewis model is the easiest to follow and makes the most 'sense 'to me, educationally speaking. Everyone else has pretty well covered my thoughts on this model (and the CIPP model) in their posts.
The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model seems to be the most straight forward model for evaluating curriculum. I think that with both formative and summative evaluation throughout the model it provides a clear understanding in evaluating curriculum.
Well, I'm going to be bold and be different. I realize that the Oliva model is complicated and has several steps, but I'll have to say that I like that it is comprehensive. I like that it enfolds the complete picture of curriculum and instruction. I like that you can pull the different components out of this model to use how you need them. I believe that the Oliva model, even though it may be a little bit more complicated, is so much better, because not only does it help to evaluate the curriculum, it is a tool to evaluate instruction, and align the two.
The Saylor, Alexander and Lewis Model uses both formative and summative evaluations and I think we need to have broad assessment tools. We need to keep track through out the learning process.
I like the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model for evaluating the curriculum. I feel that it is the easiest model to follow. If I can understand how the model works then I would be more capable of explaining it to others.
Like most, I like the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model. It was easy for me to understand and seems to have very concise parts to it. I could see myself using it as an administrator.
I agree with Keli. While the Saylor et al Model is the simplest to understand, I am not sure that it would result in the most comprehensive evaluation. The Oliva model, while complicated, and hard to understand on paper, I think in action, would result in the truest evaluation.
The Saylor, Alexander, & Lewis Model is the best model for evaluating the curriculum. This model focuses on the relationship among using formative and summative evaluations of the total program as a whole. This includes instruction meeting the needs of students and curriculum goals.
I agree with most of the class, the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model is very generalized, easy to value and a great model for evaluation. Formative and summative assessments can be used in this model and for the "novice" teacher, this is a great starting point.
I am in agreement with the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model. This seems like the simplest evaluation model to follow. The steps are very straight-forward.
The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model makes it easy for a teacher to evaluate his or her students. Also, as a administrator this would be a method that one could use for their teachers, and not questioned.
I agree with what most everyone has said in that the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis is the best model in evaluating our curriculum. I think it is very easy to use and set up "user friendly."
I believe that the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model would be the easiest for me to implement as a new administrator. It makes sense to me and I think it would be easier to implement than the other models mentioned in the text.
It sounds like a broken record but . . . I agree with my classmates. The Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model would be my choice. It simplicity is a real "plus".
I like the Oliva Model. I admit it is appears rather complicated, but it does have its positive aspects. I like the fact that it is comprised of two separate submodels. The best part of this model is the obvious link between the evaluation of curriculum and instruction.
I have to go along with the majority of the blogs and say the Sayler, Alexander, and Lewis Model. I find it to be much more simplistic than the others and easier to follow.

I agree with the two above comments. It makes sense, is easy to follow, and uses the components my system already follows.

ReplyDeleteI also have to agree, the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model seems much easier to follow. With less steps, it would appeal to many over the CIPP.
ReplyDeleteSaylor, Alexander, and Lewis model gives us the simplest terms and means of evaluating our curriculum. It is simple and fairly straightforward.
ReplyDeleteThe Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model seems to me the most cut and dry applicable model for evaluating curriculum.
ReplyDeleteI am going with the herd on this one in terms of the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis model. I found the others to be unnecessarily complicated.
