Abstract

This study sought to evaluate the self-learning curricula of a kindergarten in Saudi Arabia by applying the context, input, process, product (CIPP) model. To this end, the study utilized a mixed-method design, where teachers ( N = 420) had been randomly selected and surveyed, and school inspectors ( N = 15) had been interviewed. Furthermore, a content analysis had been carried out to analyze the curricula content based on CIPP model construction. Findings revealed that the objectives of the curricula were moderately correlated to the context. The input, process, and product also moderately contributed to the educational needs and to the Saudi community. However, the curricula failed to meet the kindergarten students’ needs and community in providing multiple sources of knowledge, teaching competencies, and training opportunities. The study recommended the need to develop a kindergarten curriculum on the basis of children’s educational needs and the community developmental needs. It suggests that future studies be conducted in various aspects of child education for preschool, continuous and comprehensive evaluation, and development of the kindergarten curriculum.
