The VUCA Dilemma and Its Mitigation Strategies in Educational Evaluation
FENG Hui;The VUCA characteristics, namely volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, are inherent features and practical dilemmas of educational evaluation and exert a profound impact on its scientificity and validity. Under the new situation of building China into a leading country in education,the VUCA characteristics of educational evaluation are becoming increasingly prominent, and it is urgent to respond effectively. Based on the analysis of the VUCA characteristics in educational evaluation, the mitigation strategies are proposed, such as shaping the people-oriented evaluation philosophy, establishing scientific and diversified evaluation criteria, improving the evaluation mechanism involving multiple subjects, strengthening the evaluation mode featuring process diagnosis,and enhancing the feedback mechanism for the application of evaluation results, in order to elevate the scientificity, professionalism and objectivity of educational evaluation.
Artificial Intelligence Empowering Quality Assurance in Vocational Education: Practical Characteristics,Key Challenges,and Reform Recommendations
LUO Yaocheng;SUN Rui;By analyzing practical application scenarios such as Smart Education of China,intelligent vocational competency evaluation system,and AI-driven empirical supervision system,this paper identifies the core characteristics of AI in vocational education reform,such as data-driven mobilization,real-time feedback,and precise prediction. Addressing challenges identified in practice,namely the bottlenecks in stakeholders' intelligent literacy,suboptimal operational mechanism of platforms,and ethical risks in algorithmic applications,this paper proposes several reform strategies,such as implementing tiered and categorized initiatives to enhance intelligent literacy,optimizing the entire operational chain of platform to improve the operation effects,and establishing a closed-loop data governance and regulatory framework. These measures are designed to ensure the sustained effectiveness of AI-empowered quality assurance in vocational education.
Alienation and Return of Academic Evaluation for University Faculty
TIAN Shulei;Academic evaluation for university faculty, dominated by meritocracy, takes quantifiable performance as its core basis and seeks to enhance efficiency and achieve academic excellence through competitive mechanisms. However, in practice, it has gradually deviated from the fundamental goals of knowledge innovation and talent cultivation. Internally, it presents institutional paradoxes such as goal displacement, incentive alienation, functional lock-in, and developmental solidification. Externally, it manifests structural dilemmas including utilitarianization of evaluation objectives, simplification of evaluation criteria, administerization of evaluation subjects, and the competition-oriented academic ecology. The reform of academic evaluation for university faculty should break through the mindset of indicator adjustment and promote the transformation of the evaluation paradigm from performance control to development facilitation: returning to academic orientation in objectives, adhering to classified and diversified standards, strengthening collaborative participation in governance, and fostering a cooperative and symbiotic ecology. Through multidimensional and collaborative institutional reconstruction, academic evaluation can truly return to its essential positioning of serving faculty development, academic prosperity, and the realization of the university's mission.
Logic,Dilemmas and Strategies of Teaching Evaluation of University Teachers from the Perspective of Scholarship of Teaching
GUO Leizhen;The theory of scholarship of teaching aims to shape a new teaching evaluation ecology and paradigm. Based on the theory,the practical dilemmas of teaching evaluation of university teachers are clearly identified as follows. Regarding evaluation methods,there is “a form” to evaluate classroom teaching performance. Regarding evaluation mindset, there is a passive response to administrative orders. Regarding evaluation results,there is a risk of disorder in the competition for teaching interests. Regarding evaluation direction,there is a lack of emphasis on discipline-based teaching research. The key to optimize teaching evaluation lies in adhering to an evaluation philosophy centered on teaching innovation and reform,promoting a shift in classroom teaching evaluation from quantitative ranking to qualitative tracking,and enhancing the evaluative guidance for the outputs of discipline-based teaching research.
How Can Teacher Employment and Assessment Reform Serve High-quality Educational Development?
XIONG Bingqi;Recent news report that primary and secondary schools in certain regions use dispatched workers as “class-hour service personnel”, as well as the efforts by some universities to advance personnel system reform. These news draw significant public attention. This article argues that when primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions pursue reforms in teacher recruitment and performance evaluation systems, they should start from concrete local realities. At the same time, it is essential to safeguard teachers' legal rights, foster their sense of professional honor, and avoid diminishing the status of teachers. All reforms should serve the goal of building a high-quality,professionally competent teaching workforce.
