Reviewing the 9th Grade English Curriculum with Stake’s Responsive Evaluation Model According to Teachers Opinions

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the secondary school 9th grade English curriculum with Stake’s Responsive Evaluation Model according to teachers. The reasons for choosing this model were that it gives importance to the needs of the stakeholders and that it regards the individual characteristics of the curriculum as more important than the overall curriculum. The study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 14 English teachers at 3 public and 2 private schools in Afyonkarahisar province of Turkey. The study was designed with the holistic multiple case study, one of qualitative research design methods, and the data were analyzed through descriptive analysis. According to the findings, implementation of the curriculum differed according to the socio-economic backgrounds of the public and private schools. While teachers working in state schools found the objectives to be above the level of the students, teachers working in private schools considered the objectives to be inadequate for the students. Teachers participating in the study reported that the course book did not correspond with the curriculum content, that the course books were inadequate, that evaluation activities provided in the curriculum like video blogs and e-portfolios could not be carried out in classrooms because they were too crowded, and that certain problems were experienced in applying the communicative language approach given in the curriculum. Teachers’ needs related to the curriculum were that it should include more detailed explanations of curriculum components, that schools should be supported with technical equipment, that feedback should be obtained from teachers regarding implementation of the curriculum, that class sizes could be reduced and that teachers should be given detailed in-service training related to implementation of the curriculum.
