·Generally, evaluation is an applied inquiry process involving systematic data gathering and synthesis of evidence, leading to conclusions about the state, value, merit, worth, or quality of various objects or plans, often encompassing both empirical and normative aspects. It also places importance on the establishment of reasonable criteria or standards for assessing the value, coupled with data synthesis and interpretation to render conclusions regarding merit, worth, or quality.

·Curriculum evaluation is a comprehensive and utilization-focused process that involves assessing various aspects of an educational curriculum, including philosophical approaches, goals, design, courses, educational strategies, and more. It aims to provide a thorough understanding of the entire curriculum, involving both faculty members and students in collaborative evaluations to improve educational quality and meet specific goals and purposes.
