FCE: A Framework for Curriculum Evaluation

摘要

This paper is an attempt to conceptualise the scope of an evaluation framework for curricula in higher education. The framework presented in this paper (FCE) considers static and dynamic aspects of curricula. While briefly showing the state of the art requirements to an evaluation framework are summarised. After introducing the research setting and the methodology applied for this work, the Framework for Curriculum Evaluation (FCE) is presented with its two levels: definition level and execution level. For the execution level the questionnaires used for students, teachers and administration staff are briefly presented to make the utilisation of the FCE explicit. Some of the questions are exemplified to demonstrate their use in real settings. Discussion and conclusions finalise the paper.
