Abstract:
The purposes of evaluation research were to evaluate the context, input, process and product of curriculum of basic school in the Office of Surin Education Service Area3 . And study the correlation and the effective level between the context, input, process and product of curriculum. The samples in this research were 155 schools derived by krejcie and Morgans table and selected by using the stratified random sampling. The informants were 1,410 altogether. The data collection tools were (1) an concordant analysis form between the curriculum of basic school and the basic of education curriculum 2544 B.E. (2) a record form of student quality and (3) a curriculum evolution form, whose reliability was 0.97 The data were analyzed by using SPSS program for Windows and used statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearsons simple correlation coefficient, multiple regression and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The problems and suggestions of open ended questionnaire were analyzed by using content analysis.
Research finding were as follows :
1. The result of context evaluation
1.1 The evaluation result from an concordance analysis form of curriculum of basic school and the curriculum the basic education curriculum 2544 B.E. was found that the overall image was at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion ( =4.72, S.D. = 0.32) When it was considered at each aspect, all aspects were concordantly at highest level which passed the satisfactory criterion.
1.2 The evaluation result from a record form of student quality were found that the overall of curriculum of basic school of the basic education in the Office of Surin Education Service Area 3 created the curriculum concordantly community need, student skillful, student interesting, student ability and consistently the basic education curriculum2544 B.E. on the purposes, courses and contents at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion( =4.00, S.D. = 0.24) When it was considered at each aspect, all aspects were concordantly at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion. When it was considered at each item of aspects, all of 16 items were concordantly at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion.
2. The result of inputs evaluation were found that the overall of curriculum of basic school of the basic education in the Office of Surin Education Service Area 3 were suitable at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion( =3.19, S.D. = 0.40) When it was considered at each aspect, 5 of aspects were suitable at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion. When it was considered at each item, most of them were suitable at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion.
3. The result of process evaluation were found that the overall of curriculum of basic school of the basic education in the Office of Surin Education Service Area 3 was suitable at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion ( =3.59, S.D. = 0.29).When it was considered at each aspect, 6 of aspects were suitable at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion such as the student activities, learning process, measurement and evaluation, supervising and monitoring, curriculum administration and curriculum improvement but but one aspect was suitable at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion such as problem solving. When it was considered at each item, most of them were suitable at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion.
4. The result of product evaluation
4.1 Student quality.
4.1.1 Fundamental knowledge; 1) the finding from the national test score
(O NET), It was found that the overall of students had fundamental knowledge at the improvement level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion(average scores Equal to 36.52 %) When it was considered at each size of the schools such as small and large school, students had fundamental knowledge at the improvement level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion (average scores Equal to 36.70%,36.26% respectively) and 2) the findings from a curriculum evaluation form, it was found that the overall fundamental knowledge was at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion ( =3.65, S.D. = 0.29).When it was considered at each item, all of items were at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion
4.1.2 Reading , thinking, analytic and writing ability; 1) the schools scores data were found that the overall assessment of students ability on reading, thinking, analytic and writing ability were at goodness level which passed the satisfactory criterion( =2.58, S.D. = 0.48). When it was considered at each size of the schools such as small and large schools, students had goodness level ability on reading, thinking, analytic and writing which passed the satisfactory criterion( =2.57, 2.60, S.D. = 0.48, 0.47) and 2) the findings from curriculum evaluation form, it was found the overall students ability were at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion( =3.45, S.D. = 0.32). When it was considered at each item, all of them were at middle level which didnt pass the satisfactory criterion.
4.1.3 The desirable characteristics; 1) the schools scores data were found that the overall assessment of the students desirable characteristics were at goodness level which passed the satisfactory criterion ( =2.60, S.D. = 053).When it was considered at each size of the schools such as small and large schools, students desirable characteristics were at goodness level which passed the satisfactory criterion( =2.58, 2.64, S.D. = 0.55,0.49) and 2) the finding from the curriculum evaluation form, they were found that the overall of students desirable characteristics were at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion( =3.80, S.D. = 0.28) When it was considered at each item, all of them were at middle level which passed the satisfactory criterion.
4.2 Satisfaction of users of curriculum of basic school; it was found that the users had overall satisfaction at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion ( =3.60, S.D. = 0.28). When it was considered at each aspect; 3 of aspects were at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion such as the context( =3.80, S.D. = 0.31), process ( =3.65, S.D. = 0.28) and curriculum product ( =3.63, S.D. = 0.26) but one was at middle level which didnt passed the satisfactory criterion such as the inputs of curriculum ( =3.36, S.D. = 0.39). When it was considered at each item, most of them were at high level which passed the satisfactory criterion.
5. The overall result of the relationship and influencing of the curriculum product with the context, input and process could be summarized as follows :
5.1 The result of the relationship and influencing of the curriculum product with the context, input and process correlated with curriculum product at high to highest level which yielded statistical significance .05 and whose range were from 0.752 to 0.901. They were influenced on the overall curriculum product at highest level( R=0.942)or 88.70 percentages ( =0.887) and they were good predictors which determined in form of un standardized and standardized estimation equation as follows :
Un standardized estimation equation :
Curriculum Product ( ) = -0.313+0.283 +0.210 +0.416
Standardized estimation equation :
Curriculum Product( ) = 0.269 +0.330 +0.480
5.2 In case of predictors were divided into 16 factors such as 4 of context, 5 of inputs and 7 of process, the correlation coefficient of overall of the curriculum product was at middle to highest level which yielded statistical significance .05 and whose rage was from 0.589 to 0.862. The influencing of the overall curriculum product was at the highest (R=0.949) or 90.10 percentage( =0.90) and they were 7 good predictors which included one of the context such as the consistency of purpose between the curriculum of basic school with the basic education curriculum 2544 B.E., 3 of inputs such as personal , learning of material, budget and 3 of process such as management, student activities and the curriculum improvement. The 7 good predictors were influenced on the overall curriculum products at highest level ( = 0947) or 89.60 percentages( =0.896) and they were determined in form of un standardized and standardized estimation equation as follows :
Un standardized estimation equation ;
Curriculum Product ( ) 0.336+0278 +0.062 +0.065 +
0114 +0113 +0.118 +0.152
Standardized estimation equation ;
Curriculum Product ( ) = 0.277 +0.107 +0.113 +0.197
+0.139 +0.138 +0.218
