論形成性評價與中國考試文化之間的張力

形成性評價從本世紀初開始受到我國政府和教育機構的大力倡導，但是在現實的課堂內這種評價形式卻很難看到。很多人認為，由於中國的考試文化深深禁錮著人們的思想，形成性評價不適合我國的教育體制。在本文中作者關注的正是形成性評價在中國考試文化氛圍中實施的切實性。首先闡述了形成性評價的要旨和中國考試文化的發展和延續，然後討論兩者之間存在的張力，最後在討論的基礎上提出幾點切實的建議以促進形成性評價在我國課堂內的實施。
Formative assessment has been advocated by the government and educational agencies in Mainland China since the early 21st century. However the current practices of formative assessment are quite weak in classrooms. Most of the teachers consider that its practice is unrealistic in the present educational context. An examination-oriented culture is firmly embedded in Mainland China. In the paper, the principal focus is on cultural appropriateness of the implementation of formative assessment in Mainland China. The authors examined the tenets of formative assessment and the features of Chinese examination culture and then argued the tensions between formative assessment and Chinese examination culture. Finally the authors suggested some appropriate ways to promote the implementation of formative assessment in Mainland China. Copyright © 2008 教育部考試中心.
