I-CODE (Curriculum Evaluation Model)

ICODE Model is a genuine curriculum evaluation model. In this model, parents and students (clients) decide the efficiency of their curriculum via www.myicode.com web site. ICODE is the acronym of the expression of 'Internet and Client Oriented Dynamic Evaluation'.

ICODE model has been developed within the scope of phd thesis in department of Curriculum and Instruction by Fatih Aygören at Balıkesir University.

The model has been obtained by synthesizing the following approaches with internet: Robert Stake's Responsive Evaluation, Michael Scriven's Consumer Oriented Evaluation and Goal Free Evaluation.

ICODE model is based on pragmatist, constructivist, economic, internet-based, having sustainability, holistic, subjective, easy, functional and client-oriented foundations.

In summary, ICODE model is a program evaluation model which has been created with the aim of enabling parents and students (clients) to evaluate their own school curriculum and to decide the efficiency of the curriculum and to make contribution to the development of it. Bringing ICODE standard to each education institution is one of the long-term aims of the model.
