Educational Evaluation Lesson 3 - Cipp Model
INTRODUCTION
Conducting an evaluation of a school program, project, intervention,
curriculum or initiative requires specific and systematic procedures. Extensive
studies of experts have yielded quite a number of evaluation models. However,
in this lesson you shall only focus on the CIPP model developed by Phi Delta
Kappa chaired by Daniel Stufflebeam (1971).
The CIPP (context, input, process, and product) evaluation model claims
that evaluation is conducted to reach a well-founded decision. It does not assume
linear relationship among its components. This model can be used for both
formative and summative kinds of evaluation activity. By alternately focusing on
program context, inputs, process, and products, the CIPP model encompasses
all phases of an educational program: planning, implementation and evaluation.
The first three elements of the CIPP model are suitable for formative evaluation
while the fourth element is ideal for summative studies. The components of the
model are summarized in the model adapted from Stufflebeam (2003) below.
• Context • Input
Evaluation Evaluation

Outcomes Actions
• Product • Process
Evaluation Evaluation
Context Evaluation
The context evaluation component of the model establishes the connection
between the program goals and evaluation. The evaluator describes the
environment and determines the needs of the program beneficiaries. The unmet
needs, problems, issues and challenges are identified and evaluated.
Input Evaluation
The input evaluation component of the model determines how resources
are utilized to achieve program objectives and goals. Data regarding the school’s
mission, goals, and plans are collected leading to the assessment of the
responsiveness of program strategies to the stakeholders’ needs. A comparison to
alternative strategies used in similar programs is also aimed in this stage. The
input evaluation complements the context evaluation.
Process Evaluation
The progress evaluation component of the model reviews the program
quality. It ascertains whether the program is implemented as it is planned.
Program activities are monitored, documented and assessed. Feedback
mechanisms and continuous quality improvement are of utmost concern by this
stage.
Product Evaluation
The product evaluation component of the model measures the impact of
the program to target beneficiaries. Evaluators assess the program effectiveness
and sustainability. As a summative component, decision whether to continue,
modify or terminate the program are established I this stage.
As a whole, the CIPP model looks at evaluation both in terms of processes
and products in all the various phases of school program, project, intervention,
curriculum, or initiative implementation. Outcomes and projected objectives are
matched and the discrepancies between them are considered as basis for future
plans and decisions.
