Development of the RCUSP model for the purpose of improving the curriculum evaluation

Abstract

The current study presents the development of the new curriculum evaluation model, that resulted from improving the previously developed model called Susceptible-vaccinated-healthy-infected-recovered (SVHIR) model. The previous model was presented as an exploratory study, which means it was a study open for improvement. In the new model the compartments categorization would more relevant to the context of teaching and learning than of the previous model, since it does not categorize students who lack High order thinking skilled (HOTS) as being sick. Also, the basic mathematical details that were omitted in the previous model, are now included to enable a better model understanding by a reader. Further on, the current study elaborates the importance of the evaluation model and some parameters such as reproductive ratio. It is also discovered that the newly developed model is not limited only to HOTS, but is open a wider range of curriculums and skills. Lastly, the new model is found to be simpler than the previous model, given it has less compartments to be predicted. Hence, it is more accessible to any reader for better understanding and application.
