New Ideas for Deepening the Reform of Basic Education Evaluation in Shanghai
YANG Zhenfeng;It has been five years since the Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era was published. As the people's demand for a better life deepens, it is necessary to promote the in-depth reform of basic education evaluation. This paper analyzes the new challenges faced by basic education in Shanghai, points out the necessity of reforming basic education evaluation, and expounds that the reform of basic education evaluation in Shanghai needs to establish a developmental concept, carry out differentiated evaluation, and establish a scientific idea. Starting from the values of education evaluation, it explores possible ways to evaluate schools, teachers, principals, and regional education development. It points out that basic education evaluation must promote process evaluation and developmental evaluation, advance educational equity, and leverage the technical support role of artificial intelligence.
Paradigm Shift in Supervision and Evaluation for Quality and Balanced Compulsory Education
DU Xiaoli;The strategy of building a leading country in education places higher demands on achieving quality and balanced development in compulsory education. However, the current supervision and evaluation system remains constrained by path dependencies from the phases of universalizing basic education and eradicating illiteracy as well as basic equity, manifesting issues such as a bias toward physical infrastructure, static notions of equity, and external dominance. From the perspective of governance efficacy, based on the paradigm evolution of China's compulsory education supervision and evaluation, the study proposes a transformation framework encompassing “principlesindicators-methods”. In terms of concept, we should establish the guiding principle of “evaluation for construction and governance”. In terms of indicators, we should establish a three-dimensional indicator system comprising “foundational support, quality connotation, and developmental characteristic”,integrating differentiated and value-added evaluation. In terms of methodology, we should build a collaborative evaluation community involving government, schools, professional institutions, and society, operating through a closed-loop cycle of “monitoring-diagnosis-improvement-follow-up”.
Rethinking Teachers' Evaluation Literacy under the New Examination Management Policy
LI Baiyan;Following the issuance of the Ministry of Education's notice on regulating the management of daily examinations in primary and secondary schools, the frequency of unified examinations has been strictly reduced. The weight of evaluation is shifting from regional unified examinations and inter-school joint tests back to schools and teachers. Whether schools are capable of exercising this authority, whether principals can assume core responsibility for restructuring the school evaluation system, and whether teachers can properly wield this evaluation power all depend on their level of evaluation literacy. Based on survey data from 16 880 teachers in Shanghai, this study reveals a structural contradiction in teachers' current evaluation literacy, characterized by “strong awareness,possession of knowledge, yet weak capability”. It analyzes the negative impact and underlying concerns of judgment-based evaluation — predominantly relying on examinations — on the cultivation of students' subjectivity, sense of meaning, curiosity, and innovative potential. The paper proposes a value reconstruction in evaluation from “screening” to “nurturing”, and articulates a four-dimensional quality perspective that mutually reinforces life quality, process quality, academic quality, and sustainable development quality. Drawing on regional practical exploration, it discusses pathways for enhancing teachers' evaluation literacy.
Research on the Evaluation of Teachers' Self-development in Teaching from the Perspective of Psychoanalytic Theory
TIAN Luyao;The evaluation of teachers' self-development in teaching from the perspective of psychoanalytic theory is a spiral value judgment process that takes teaching behavior as the main object and integrates historical attribution and purpose orientation. This process unfolds along a clear logical thread: starting from insight and acceptance, passing through purpose and contribution, and ultimately pointing to the value orientation of the whole and the relationship, thereby revealing the internal logic of evaluation. Under the guidance of this mechanism, teachers can gradually achieve a progressive cycle from insight and source tracing, goal empowerment to integrated growth through systematic selfevaluation. This cyclical process continuously generates three types of key development texts: intrinsic motivation and emotional response analysis reports, behavioral purpose and social interest assessment reports, as well as life history and career narrative development archives, providing substantive support for teachers' professional growth.
A Multi-stream Analysis of Policy Agenda-setting under the Digital Transformation of Educational Assessment
LU Xiu;Drawing on multi-stream theory, this study explores how the digital transformation of educational assessment rose to become a policy agenda. At the problem stream level, traditional paperand-pencil testing presents efficiency bottleneck, coupled with the impact of sudden public health crises on the path dependence of the assessment system, forming the triggering mechanism for the initiation of policy agenda. At the policy stream level, theoretical support from relevant academic research and practical explorations of technology integration into educational assessment provides feasible grounds for the agenda's entry. At the political stream level, the guidance of national top-level strategies and the resonance of public sentiment driven by demands for high-quality education form a mobilization mechanism. The coupling of these three streams opens the “policy window” for the digital transformation of educational assessment, elevating it to the national strategic level.
