title: Selecting a model for use in curriculum evaluation.
abstract: In summary, our purposes have been to emphasize the importance of using a model in curriculum evaluation and to present guidelines for selecting an appropriate model. We have discussed our experience in selecting and using the Stake model only as an example. While a model does not eliminate all of the problems and frustrations of curriculum evaluation, it does make the task more manageable. It can also improve the quality of the evaluation and can even make curriculum evaluation enjoyable.
