Differentiated curriculum is an important issue in the past decade, emphasizing that the curriculum needs to consider the different competencies and needs of students. Since responsive evaluation focuses on issues of concern of the stakeholders, it is suitable for the development and evaluation of differentiated curriculum. This case study applied differentiated curriculum in the science toy inquiry courses. Responsive evaluation was used to develop and evaluate this emerging curriculum. During the evaluation, the opinions of key stakeholders were collected to form the evaluation issues to adjust the implementation of the curriculum. Different from other evaluation approaches, the voices of students and parents could be taken into consideration in curriculum design. To effectively carry out the study, a two-dimensional evaluation issue framework was constructed, with the vertical axis as the curriculum development elements and the horizontal axis as the curriculum development stage. Data were collected by both qualitative and quantitative methods. During the process of curriculum development, issues of concern are continually raised, revised, and addressed. Results are (1) a total of 12 evaluation issues were proposed by the stakeholders in the curriculum preparation stage, (2) 6 issues have been properly handled and 5 issues have been derived other issues in the curriculum implementation stage, and (3) 1 issue could not be resolved even at the end of the curriculum. Using responsive curriculum assessment, the development of the curriculum can be understood from the issues of concern to stakeholders. |
