Abstract

Comprehensive curriculum evaluation requires a model that will enable allied health faculty to feel confident that they are obtaining reliable, valid, credible, and timely information for use in decision making. This article presents a model for designing evaluations that is based on Daniel Stufflebeam's writings. The steps included in the model are identification of the question to be answered, determination of type of evaluation, focus of the evaluation, collection and organization of the information, analysis of the data, description of reporting mechanisms, and establishment of administrative plan. The model can be used by evaluators, whether the faculty themselves or others, of any allied health curriculum to develop a cohesive and defensible curriculum evaluation. Examples demonstrating possible application of the model for the evaluation of an ongoing curriculum are included.
