STAKE'S RESPONSIVE MODEL

This model, developed by Robert Stake (1975), gives emphasis Of the


description of the evaluation program and the evaluation process. The model
has the following characteristics. (Stake's Responsive Model is about listening
to everyone, understanding what really happens in schools, talking to people,
focusing on actions rather than just goals, choosing the most important things
to look at, and using all this information to make things better.)
1. It focuses on the concerns and issues of teachers, students, parents as
well as school administrators. (This model pays attention to what
teachers, students, parents, and school leaders care about. By
considering everyone's thoughts and worries, the evaluation becomes
more complete.)
2. It emphasizes on the evaluation that occurs in school or the place where
learning takes place. (It focuses on checking how things work in schools
or places where people learn. This helps to understand if the educational
system is effective in its environment.)
3. It prefers qualitative methods and techniques in evaluating. (Instead of
just numbers, this model prefers talking to people and listening to their
stories. This way, we can understand better how the educational program
is working and how people feel about it.)
4. It presents more of the program activities than the learning intents/ goals
and objectives. (Instead of only looking at what the educational program
aims to achieve, this model pays more attention to what actually happens
day-to-day. It's about understanding the activities and practices in the
program.)
5. It guides the evaluators to focus more on issues that are of priority. (It
helps to decide which problems or good things we should pay the most
attention to. This makes the evaluation more effective by focusing on what
matters most.)
6. It leads to good decision making as it addresses the concerns and queries
of the participants in the evaluation. (By listening to everyone involved in
the educational program and understanding their concerns, this model
helps to make smart decisions. It gives valuable information to improve
how things are done.)

Host: Hello everyone! Here’s how the game is played. Ralph will read a
question or trial, the players must run to the bell. The first one to press it will
have the chance to answer and get a point. The person who will get the
highest points will be held the winner. Do you get it players?

Players: Yes!
