Curriculum Evaluation: Monitoring the Harmony of TTl Syllabuses with the New Primary Level Curriculum vis-avis Standard Models and New Education and Training Policy

Abstract

This study attempts to rigorously examine the current
Ethiopian TTl syllabus in the light of the innovative demands of the new
primary level cUrricuJum which in tum is based on the NETP (New
Education and Training Policy guide lines). Data was secured from 42
TTl Instructors housed in several departments at Awassa. Syllabi of six
primary level experimental schools have been analyzed using Lewis
and Prati's criteria. Results of the study generally suggest higher
correspondence among objectives at all levels, yet they indicate lack of
harmony in light of new curriculum demands and applied methodology
in both the primary and the TTl level syllabuses to accord with problem
solving and inquiry approaches. Consequently, guidelines leading
toward~ revising the TTl syllabus have been forwarded.
