Abstract

There have been many recent changes in the world in a number of aspects, including economics, education, and society etc. Education curriculum is considered as one of the most important parts of education since it is determined in relation to the development of making qualified learning for students. Curriculum evaluators should consider factors such as appropriateness, quality and the state of the arts of the curriculum evaluation.  Normally, how to use a certain type of curricula models, such as the Stake Model, the CIPP Model, the Tyler Model, the Puissance Technique or the Hammond Model.  However, the used model for decision-making was created by Daniel L. Stufflebeam.  This evaluation model can be divided into four aspects; Context Evaluation, Input Evaluation, Process Evaluation, and Product Evaluation.  Therefore, the results obtained from the CIPP evaluation model are part of an organized system and can provide enough details to help curriculum evaluators in terms of decision-making.  As a result, since learning curricula in the 21st century are complicated, many evaluation models have been stemmed and developed from the CIPP Model.  The author will introduce some new evaluation models, discuss their concepts and tell the readers how to use them for curriculum evaluation.
