Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the Digital Science program curriculum at Assumption College Thonburi, using the Scriven Evaluation Model. Specifically, the objectives were to: 1) assess the curriculum of the Digital Science program, and 2) determine the overall value of the program. Primary data were collected through five sets of tools, which included checklists and questionnaires completed by 8 school administrators, 15 teachers responsible for the Digital Science program, 45 teachers not involved in the program, and 150 students enrolled in the program. These participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using averages and standard deviations. Secondary data were gathered by analyzing documents, students' academic records, misconduct reports, and achievement records in the Digital Science program, with the use of frequency and percentage analysis.
The findings indicate that: 1) The Digital Science program aligns with the school’s educational goals, curricular objectives; 2) Content analysis and assessment reveal that the program’s curricular structure, content, and learning experiences are highly appropriate; 3) The level of preparedness in learning management, curriculum implementation, and assessment procedures was highly appropriate; 4) Learner assessments highlight that students demonstrate high academic quality with academic achievement above 80%, maintain exemplary disciplinary records, and earn recognition at regional, national, and international levels; and 5) The Digital Science program aligns with curricular objectives, was appropriate and worth implementing.
