Evaluation for Development: The "E.A.S.Y." Model for Empowering Actors and Stakeholders in Curriculum Development
Kohonen, Susanna; Kosonen, Jonna; Kettunen, Sinikka
Language Learning in Higher Education, v11 n2 p537-544 2021
This report will discuss the process of evaluation for development in a collaborative project that integrated teaching between the Language Centre and the Law School at the University of Eastern Finland. The focus of this report will be on a model the authors devised for the purposes of developing teaching, called "E.A.S.Y," "Empowering Actors, Stakeholders and You" (in Finnish: "kehitysriihi"), with its "Nutshell Poster." The interactive and participatory model draws on the principles of evaluation for development instead of evaluation of development, steering away from the emphasis on making judgments, and exemplifies a novel, resource-efficient method for curriculum development in higher education in a manner that facilitates agency and implements the principles of a learning organisation. The authors propose that the model, albeit in the example project used within the context of Higher Education, could be widely adapted into other contexts, too.
