香港地理科校本评核的问题

香港于2009年9月实施的三三四新学制,它不单只是修业年期的变更,更是高中课程教与学模式及评核方法的转变。与内地一样,在香港,评核方法一直有如一盏引导教师设定教学重点和策略的指路“明灯”,与学生成绩及前途亦有着千丝万缕的联系。在《高中及高等教育新学制——投资香港未来的行动方案》报告书中,教统局提出“为了提高对考生最终评核的效度和信度,长远目标应是令校本评核成为所有科目评核的一部分”（教育统筹局,2005）。     

香港公开考试的校本评核设计与推行

随着香港高中学制改变,考评制度亦由以往依赖公开纸笔考试,变为结合公开试和校本评核以评估学生的成绩。本文介绍香港公开考试制度内校本评核的发展背景,说明有关的宗旨和理念。同时,亦详细讨论推行校本评核遇到的问题,以及香港考试及评核局采用什么策略和措施推行校本评核。文中还就如何保证校本评核的素质、信度及公平性探讨了校本评核的具体操作。     

课改下的语文教学策略——校外评核报告中教与学的跟进方法建议

21世纪初,香港展开教育改革,教育统筹局为保证各中小学的教学水平,定期到校进行校外评核的工作.工作完成后,教育统筹局把这些校外评核报告上载互联网,供市民浏览.本研究是从2003至2005两个年度,教育统筹局在网上公布的校外评核报告中,各随机抽取10所小学的报告,针对这些报告中老师在有关教与学和评估不足的评语,提出教学有明确的目标,训练学生的语文能力,有质素的提问,照顾学生的学习差异,全体学生的参与,师生互动,设计一份优质的评估,善用评估得来的数据以改善教学等解决问题的建议和策略,并提供具体的操作方法,以落实课改的理念,提高教学的成效.     

规限的专业性:香港及中国内地教师评鉴工作比较

香港及中国内地两地在上世纪90年代末起均积极推动教育改革,以发展优质/素质教育为主要的发展方向,以期培养适切的人才,提高两地的国际竞争力。基于此,两地均强调课程改革,引入新的教学法,如专题研习/研究性学习,强调问责性的评核机制。面对教与学的种种改革,教师的工作出现了新的转变及挑战,本文比较两地在教改情境下,如何透过教师评鉴保证及提升教育质素,两地教师如何以不同策略作响应,呈现两地教师在工作评鉴下的处境。     

基于标准的评核：教育领域人力资本和能力提升的工具与方法

本文概述了一种评核概念和理论，即基于标准的评核。这种评核模式通过把学生的成绩和他们的知识、课程标准联系起来，给学生的学习成绩赋予意义。它有效地将评核的焦点从对成绩排名的关注（仅仅把学生的表现与同学相比较）转移到了对学生学习进步的关注上来。本文关注这一转变过程，并为这一评核方式的实施提供可能的策略。同时，本文认为这一评核体系将会对教育中人力资本和能力提升产生深远的影响。     

澳门初中中文科课程指引对教师课堂评核的指引

教师评核素养是现今教育制度下重要的教师专业要求。为了解澳门初中中文科(第一语文)课程指引是否为一线中文教师课堂评核的实行提供足够的指引,本文采用关于教师评核素养标准的理论框架对该课程指引进行分析,发现指引在有关评核目标、评核过程、评核公平性、测量理论及学习性评核五个方面均有较详细的说明和指导,但在指导教师发展多元化评核、对评核结果进行沟通及注意评核伦理等相关内容方面则有所缺乏。     

香港高考校本评核的运用及启示

校本评核是指在学校进行,由同一学校任课的教师评核学生在指定项目中的表现,并将评核成绩纳入高考成绩。香港考试及评核局对校本评核的分数比重、评审方法、评分准则、评审范围等做出明确规定,教师在评审过程中也有据可循。香港考试及评核局还采取措施保证校本评核的公平、公正。香港高考校本评核的成功运用对大陆高考改革有借鉴意义。     

艺术教育:视觉艺术评核趋势与社会发展

本文从香港中学会考及高级程度会考美术科考试及评核模式演变为主干,探讨中学毕业美术公开考试及评核模式演变与社会发展的影响。论文亦从近年西方学校艺术教育理念与发展,探究后现代社会学校视觉艺术教育的演变,以及如何影响关术考试及评核的模式。近年香港学校课程的改革,显然受西方国家学校课程改革理念的影响。考试及评核作为课程的重要部分,课程的改革必然会促使考试及评核的相应改革。考试及评核形式的改变,正反映我们社会期望的改变,学校教育培育的学生是否有自信?是否愉快学习?是否具备新世纪时代的共通能力?是否能够在新时代具有竞争力?学生是否具备改进社会的态度和适应新时代的生活技能?这些都是值得我们反省和探究的。     

如何推展中学文凭考试通识教育科的考评工作

香港新高中通识教育科的评核设计包括权重为80%的公开考试和权重为20%的校本评核。由于涉及因素众多,其实际评核面临诸多困难。香港考试及评核局的经验是,建立考务人员团队,加强教师的考评培训,通过充分研究回应社会上利益相关者的关注。     

现代大学理念下人才培养质量提高的教育支点探析——基于香港理工大学教育理念的分析

在现代大学顺应时代潮流与社会发展的过程中,将有"质素"保证的教育目标作为基本教育理念,把基于"评核"与"配合"的系统整合作为教学组织活动的工作核心,把"检讨"与"分享"作为在实现大学教化功能过程中教与学的基本手段,是当前提高人才培养质量的一种有效方法。     

What (more) can,and should,assessment do for learning? Observations from ‘successful learning context’ in Singapore

Singapore has earned accolades as one of the leading education systems in the world, based on its record in international assessments, including TIMMS and PISA. This has contributed to the entrenchment of ‘assessment’ becoming an institutional authority of standards, teaching (performativity) and classroom learning. It is against, and amidst such contexts, that this article traces how the notion and discourse of formative assessment and Assessment for Learning (AfL) are widely introduced and used formally across all Singaporean schools, particularly after a recent introduction of new ‘Holistic and Balanced Assessment’ policies. We argue that the very institutional authority of successful high-stake examination results, which served as critical standards of performativity of teaching and learning in the classroom, is being challenged. The changing assessment context of Singaporean schools, therefore serves as an interesting case study site for studying how formative assessment and AfL can be adapted and understood when ‘learning’ is already seen to be successful.     

Approaching assessment from a learning perspective: Elevating assessment beyond technique

Assessment is a key process in assuring quality education but how is it linked to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL)? How can we join teaching and learning to the assessment process rather than view it as a stand-alone component in course and/or program development? This paper explores the relationship between assessment and the SoTL in an effort to identify a systems approach to program management practices. The goal is not to dismiss the value of mechanics and tools in assessment but to highlight the value of building an assessment process that brings together the respective components of assessment with the scholarship that constitutes teaching and learning and an understanding of assessment as learning. Incorporating the use of curriculum maps and Fink’s taxonomy of significant learning advances a framework-driven practice that supports assurance of learning.     

Assessment by Interview and Portfolio in a Graduate School Program

Assessment plays an integral role in teaching and learning in higher education and teachers have a strong interest in debates and commentaries on assessment as and for learning. In a 1-year graduate entry teacher preparation program, the temptation is to emphasize assessment in an attempt to ensure students “cover” everything as part of a robust preparation for the profession. The risk is that, for students, assessment drives curriculum, and time spent in the completion of assignments is no guarantee of either effective learning or authentic preparation for teaching. Interviews as assessment provide an opportunity for a learning experience as well as an authentic task, since students will shortly be interviewing for employment in a “real world” situation. This paper reports on a project experimenting with interview panels as authentic assessment with preservice early childhood teachers. At the end of their first semester of study, students enrolled in the Graduate Diploma of Education program at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia were required to participate in a panel interview where they were graded by a panel made up of three faculty staff and one undergraduate student enrolled in the 4-year Bachelor of Education program. Students and panel members completed a questionnaire on their experience after the interview. Results indicated that both students and staff valued the experience and felt it was authentic. Results are discussed in terms of how the assessment interview and portfolio presentation supports graduating students in their preparation for employment interviews, and how this authentic assessment task has benefits for both students and teaching staff.     

从“形成性评价”到“学习性评价”：课堂评价理论与实践的新发展

"学习性评价"是在"形成性评价"基础上发展演变而来的、为适应新一轮国际基础教育改革而产生的课堂评价理论及其指导下的课堂评价实践。"学习性评价"的五大核心理念体现了国际基础教育评价理念经历的重大变化。"学习性评价"与"形成性评价"既有密切联系又有显著区别。我国需要从评价制度(如督导)和政策层面上确立"学习性评价"在课程与教学中的地位,积极发挥"学习性评价"对课程与教学改革的促进作用。     

在信息技术教学中应用合作学习对学生创造力影响的研究

为了探讨在信息技术教学中应用合作学习对师范五年专科学生创造力的影响,以永春师范五年专科学生为对象,采用准实验研究法进行研究。其中实验组学生48人接受为期12周的合作探究学习,控制组学生49人接受一般分组学习。评价工具采用威廉斯创造力测验,并将所得资料以SPSS程序进行相依样本t检定分析。研究结果表明:在信息技术课程教学中应用合作学习,确实能显著地提升学生认知领域的创造力,但是无法显著提升学生在情意领域的创造力。     

Leadership and The Effective School

The article examines the origins and purposes of assessment for learning (AfL) within the National Curriculum Assessment context in England. As a part of the Primary Strategy, AfL became part of the government's drive to improve standards through measuring school outcomes. The authors describe their investigation into teachers' understandings of AfL, how AfL has influenced teaching, learning and assessment in the intervening six years and whether it has established a presence as part of teaching pedagogy.     

建构促进教与学的课堂学习评价

课堂教学需要凭借对学生学习过程和结果的评价来判断教学的实际效果,调整教学设计,改进教学实施.目前教师进行课堂学习评价的实践还存在着诸多问题,很多教师没有将学习评价看作教学设计的组成部分,已有的课堂学习评价在评价方式和结果运用等方面尚需提高有效性.针对课堂学习评价的现实问题,结合教学实例,从两个方面提出改进对策：首先,要将符合教育评价基本规律的学习评价整合为教学设计和实施的一个环节.其次,在开展学习评价的情况下,对于评价结果的分析和运用要突出对教学目标和教学内容的追问与澄清.     

Formative Assessment in EFL Writing: An Exploratory Case Study

In second‐language writing, assessment has traditionally focused on the written products and how well (or badly) students perform in writing. Teachers dominate the assessment process as testers, while students remain passive testees. Assessment is something teachers ‘do to’ rather than ‘with’ students, mainly for administrative and reporting purposes (i.e. summative). Such assessment, being more retrospective than prospective, holds little value for teaching and learning. In recent years, with a major paradigm shift in assessment and evaluation in English language teaching, writing assessment informed primarily by a product and summative orientation, is considered increasingly inadequate. Such assessment, which focuses on measurement – i.e. marking, monitoring and checking, fails to capture the formative potential of assessment for promoting learning. A formative approach to assessment, on the other hand, focuses more on inquiry – i.e. discovering, diagnosing and understanding, as well as the opportunities assessment provides for improving teaching and learning. To harness the potential of formative assessment in the writing classroom, it is axiomatic that classroom assessment practices be geared towards maximizing student learning. This provides the impetus for my study, which investigates an EFL teacher's attempt to implement formative assessment in her writing classroom and its impact on her classroom practice and students' beliefs and attitudes to writing.     

Making Critical Connections Between Social Studies Teaching and Student Achievement Using NAEP Data Explorer

In this analysis of promising practice, we demonstrate how social studies methods instructors can incorporate data analysis of the 2010 United States History National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP–USH) to facilitate pedagogical aims, engage teacher candidates in critical discourse, and investigate the contexts of teaching and learning. The NAEP data explorer application is a valuable tool for examining social studies theory and practice in relation to student learning outcomes. Our assessment of teacher candidates' responses to the activity leads to the recommendation that NAEP data analysis and results encourage self-evaluation of instructional practices while simultaneously supporting critical interpretations of the NAEP exam.     

形成性评价在高中英语教学中的应用研究——以福建省漳州市第三中学为例

教学评价是课堂教学的重要组成部分,科学的评价方式是实现课程目标的有力保证。受传统的教育观和人才观的影响,目前我国高中英语教学的评价方式还依赖终结性评价,学生成绩成为他们的最终定论,而他们的学习过程、情感态度、价值观和能力往往被忽视。文章将形成性评价引入高中英语教学中,以福建省漳州市第三中学高一年级学生为例,尝试使用问卷调查、课堂观察和学习档案袋这三种形成性评价的方法,旨在激发学生学习英语的兴趣,提高其学习的自信心和积极性。同时就形成性评价在实施过程中出现的问题进行了总结和反思。
