师本学习评价体系的构建

师本学习是指教师在充分认识自己的社会角色的基础上,为实现自身的专业发展。更好地完成教师角色所承担的社会责任,在学校总体规划的指导下,在教学工作过程中,主动进行的学习活动。显然．师本学习是一种主要以教师自主学习为基础的教师专业发展模式．构建适合于师本学习的评价体系,对于确保师本学习的顺利实施,提高师本学习的主动性、积极性和有效性,使教师的专业发展进入一个有序的良性循环是至关重要的。     

师本学习——教师专业发展的必由之路

依据范良火教授关于不同来源对于教师教学知识发展的相对重要性的调查研究,指出教师主体的主动参与程度是决定教师继续教育绩效的最重要的因素,传统教师教育绩效不尽如人意的根本原因是培训模式本身存在着对教师主体参与的忽视。在对师本学习概念进行剖析的基础上,笔者强调了师本学习对教师专业发展的实际需要的关注,师本学习从根本上克服了传统教师教育的弊端。笔者从教师的个性化发展、教师向研究型教师的转变以及教师的成人性质三个方面进行了论述,指出师本学习是教师专业发展的必由之路。     

师本课程的研发实践与价值反思

在师本课程研发实践基础上,探讨了师本课程的概念特征,并对师本课程的价值进行了反思:从任务驱动到价值认同、从线性思维到结构思维、从技能提高到素养生长。师本课程不仅可拓展与深化学生所学习的课程,也是对教师的一种赋权增能,即助推教师专业成长的持续与自觉。     

对师本学习与学习型群体协同发展的策略分析

笔者通过访谈以及对相关学校的考察提出实现师本学习与学习型群体协同发展,构建教师专业发展的有效途径的策略:学校领导在营造教师学习气氛上的前瞻性、开放性与民主性是师本学习与学习型群体能够协同发展的基本保障与外在动力因素;教师对自身存在与发展的价值的重新审视与良好心境的形成是师本学习与学习型群体能够协同发展的内在动力因素。指出了教师群体的教学反思性实践是师本学习与学习型群体协同发展的主要途径。同时,笔者还提出了师本学习与学习型群体协同发展过程中可能出现的几个问题。     

师本研训 搭建教师专业成长的平台

师资培训的落脚点应进一步关注教师的专业成长。学校在“师本研训”中应根据教师的不同需求，精心设计研训序列，使教师个体在自我反思、主动参与的基础上形成自主学习、自主研究、自主发展的动态培训模式。其主要做法是设计“师本研训”的总体思路，完善“师本研训”的组织体系，落实“师本研训”的主要活动。     

学校师本研究需要理性纠偏——关于目前中小学师本研究现状的调查报告

规范和深化师本研究是校本研究的应然追求。通过我市的中小学校本研究现状的认真审视和思辨,不难发现校本研究更多的是专业研究者与学校合作开展的研究,常常忽视教师个体的本位研究。因此,有必要对师本研究现状进行实然诊断。寻求教师在实践基础上,优化自己的教学,引领和强化教师积极自主地开展有效的师本研究,切实纠正师本研究中的偏态行为,提高全市中小学教师师本研究的规范性和实效性。     

学会评价:教师学科素养的衡量标尺

教师专业发展处于标准化运动阶段,需要用评价素养来衡量教师学科素养。比较教师专业标准发现,职前教师评价实践有专业支撑,评价素养主要依靠知识学习和参与观察;职后教师评价实践指向学科课程,移植与再创职前实践,评价素养得以提升与完善。教师在评价实践中的个体学习和组织学习,是教师学科素养培育没有终结的表征。     

开放性评价在校本研修中的有效尝试

校本研修是以教师为主体、以课程实施中的问题为起点,依托本校教师的"内差"和校外优质资源,集研究、培训、教学为一体的组织性学习。它更是以师本为基点,提升教师教育经验,形成教育智慧,促进专业发展的重要途径。我校通过构建开放性评价机制,推行学分认定制、优质成果认证和星级教师评定等举措,有效激发了教师学习的内驱力,让研修成为教师专业发展的内在需求,促进了教师的专业发展。     

生本化课堂教学有效性评价的理念

正与师本化课堂教学有效性评价理念不同,生本化课堂教学有效性评价坚持以生为本、以学论教和现代有效教学的基本理念,认为课堂教学的有效性就是在教师帮助下学生课堂学习的有效性课堂教学有效性评价的实质是对学生课堂学习有效性的评价。一、"以生为本"理念"以生为本"理念是基础教育课程改革的思想精髓,也是教学有效性评价的重要指导思想。以生为本,就是要以学     

中职语文学习形成性评价教学实践

The impact of an alternative professional development model on teacher practices in formative assessment and student learning

Among contemporary means of enhancing student learning, formative assessment is perhaps one of the most important and effective. While formative assessment ideas and practices have been shown to have a proven record enhancing student learning, these practices are slow to be fully integrated into teachers’ day-to-day classroom practices. This study describes a collaborative effort among university faculty and public school partners to train teachers in the skills and practices of formative assessment. Regarding teachers’ involvement in the formative assessment professional development, findings highlight that 1) teachers’ participation in the professional development efforts did strengthen their understanding of both general knowledge of formative assessment and the use of formative assessment practices, 2) teachers’ plans to use the strategies in the future were related to their understanding of these strategies, and 3) in-depth and comprehensive understanding of formative assessment practices were critical to concrete applications of such practices in their classrooms. With respect to the impact on student learning, an overall effect size of .41 was found for teachers who utilized a formative assessment strategy compared with district averages for similar learning objectives when the practices were not used.     

基于教师专业能力发展的INTASC评价标准研究

Formative assessment of teachers in the context of an online learning environment

This case study looked at how an assessment strategy designed for an online learning environment can support teachers’ professional development. More specifically, we intended to evaluate how a particular online assessment design can help the participating in-service teachers to recognize the added value of formative assessment, and promote their own use of formative assessment in their professional classroom practices. The presented assessment design consists of a combination of different, non-standard assessment methods in an online environment. We analysed data from 494 questionnaires, the participants’ critical reflections about their learning and the participants’ produced artefacts. The findings illustrate the participants’ recognition of the formative character of the proposed assessment design, reflected not only by the high scores reported in seven of the eight themes explored, but also from the qualitative analysis of the participants’ reflections and artefacts. Suggestions are offered for the improvement of the proposed assessment design, so as to better promote the formative character of assessment. In particular, implications for the development of formative assessment in online professional development are discussed taking into account its potential to promote the participants’ self-regulatory learning processes.

Instructional Rounds as a professional learning model for systemic implementation of Assessment for Learning

The purpose of this research was to examine the implementation of a professional learning project aimed at building educators’ knowledge and skills in assessment for learning (AfL) within two school districts in Ontario, Canada. Specifically, the research examined the value of a two-tier Instructional Rounds (IR) professional learning model. This professional learning model was unique because it engaged both teachers and principals in collaboratively learning and implementing AfL strategies in order to develop systemic capacity in assessment. In total, 12 principals, 48 teachers, two superintendents and two school district assessment consultants participated in the study. Data were collected through observations of IR sessions, classroom observations, interviews, IR session reflections and a post-project survey. Findings from this study report on positive changes in teachers’ and principals’ conceptions and implementation of AfL as well as on the value and challenges of IR as a professional learning model. The paper concludes with a discussion on developing systemic capacity in AfL through an IR model of professional learning.     

Teacher learning through participation in a negotiated assessment procedure

This article focuses on the impact of a specific formative assessment procedure, negotiated assessment, on teacher professional learning. Negotiations between the assessor and the teacher as assessee seem to be especially promising for this teacher learning. However, there is no empirical evidence yet that has confirmed this. We explored teachers’ opinions about the usefulness of the different elements in a negotiated assessment procedure for their professional learning and the learning benefits they reported as a result of being engaged in this procedure. Our findings show that teachers found the negotiated assessment procedure useful for their learning and reported different types of learning benefits in terms of change: change in their knowledge, beliefs and attitudes, change in their teaching practice and change in their students’ learning outcomes.     

国外发展性课堂教学评价实施的影响因素研究

发展性课堂评价能更好地促进学生的学习,这一论断已被国际评估专家和教育团体普遍认可。然而在实践中,用发展性课堂评价取代传统的终结性评价并非易事。从国外相关研究来看,教育研究、评价研究、大规模评估、教育政策、教师的职业发展和教师信念是对发展性课堂评价产生影响的六种主要因素。同时,实施发展性课堂评价时还应该考虑时间和教师自主权问题。     

Improving teachers’ assessment literacy through professional development

This study examined the effects of professional development on teachers’ assessment literacy between two groups of teachers: (1) teachers who were involved in ongoing and sustained professional development in designing authentic classroom assessment and rubrics; and (2) teachers who were given only short-term, one-shot professional development workshops in authentic assessment. The participating teachers taught Year 4 and 5 English, science, and mathematics. The findings showed that the assessment literacy of teachers who were involved in ongoing, sustained professional development had increased significantly during the second year of study. These teachers had also gained a better understanding of authentic assessment.     

Teachers’ approaches to classroom assessment: a large-scale survey

Classroom assessment has become a cornerstone of today’s standards-based system of education. However, recent policy developments, professional standards, and variable assessment education have led to significant variability in teachers’ approaches to assessment. The primary purpose of this research was to use a new instrument predicated on recently published classroom assessment standards – the Approaches to Classroom Assessment Inventory – to measure teachers’ (a) approaches to assessment, (b) perceived skill in current assessment tasks and responsibilities, and (c) professional learning preferences and priorities. Based on 404 teachers from across North America, this study contributes initial evidence of how teachers approach classroom assessment with respect to four dimensions: Assessment Purposes, Assessment Processes, Assessment Fairness and Measurement Theory. Results from this study point to significant differences based on career stage and previous assessment education. The study concludes with four key implications for assessment research and practice.     

Exploring and evaluating differentiated assessment practices of in-service teachers for components of differentiation

Classroom assessment is central to effective teaching and learning, making assessment literacy a core component for teacher education. The present study explores self-reported, differentiated assessment practices of Malaysian in-service teachers. The practices were evaluated using an analytic framework that was developed based upon the existing literature on components of differentiation. Data were collected from 32 in-service teachers using open-ended survey questionnaires. Twelve of the teachers also participated in in-depth interviews. Documents provided by the teachers were also analyzed. Data from the open-ended survey were analyzed using NVivo11 to develop codes for the analytic framework. The findings offer insights into teachers’ knowledge, application, and interpretation of differentiated assessment practices. The discussion explores teachers’ explanations of their own practices and, further, recommends ways to improve knowledge and application of differentiated assessment. The implications of the findings are discussed for assessment literacy-related professional development for teachers, school management and policies to facilitate implementation of differentiated assessment.
