1. Introduction
Curriculum is an important element of education. Aims of education are reflected in the
curriculum. In other words, the curriculum is determined by the aims of life and the society.
Aims of life and the society are subjected to constant change.
Curriculum development is a process of improving the curriculum. Various approaches has
been used in developing a curriculum. Commonly used approaches consists of analysis (i.e. :
need analysis and task analysis), design ( i.e. : objective design), selecting ( i.e. : selection of
appropriate learning teaching methods, selection of appropriate assessment method),
formation( i.e. : formation of the curriculum implementation committee , curriculum
evaluation committee) and review ( curriculum review committee).
Curriculum change is a complex and difficult process and requires careful planning, adequate
time, funding support and opportunities for teacher involvement. Understanding the changing
process can be challenging and exciting.
Evaluation is the methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more
traditional social research. Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in
traditional, social, research but evaluation takes place within a political and organizational
context, it requires group skills, management ability, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and
other skills that social research in general does not rely on.
2. Definition of evaluation

the behaviour of the students are actually taking place Tyler

useful feedback about some object

institution described, these will serve as the basis for making an assessment about the
individual program or the institution. It is a continuous process of assessment, certain
specificcharacteristics of the program, individual or an institution described;will serve as the
basis for making an assessment about the individual program or the institution.
It helps in making decision about the students, teaching learning techniques, objectives to be
realized. Evaluation includes measurement but goes beyond in having qualitative
considerations and suggesting modifications for deficient areas whereas measurement
includes a variety of testing procedures that describes an output in quantitative terms.
4. Meaning and need for curriculum evaluation

school though judgements about what the students have achieved and what else may
be included.
