1、美國(guó)啟動(dòng)學(xué)??荚嚫母?,任務(wù)型評(píng)價(jià)成為主流 紐約時(shí)報(bào)9月3日?qǐng)?bào)道說(shuō),美國(guó)教育部正在啟動(dòng)教育考試改革,主要是學(xué)校的學(xué)年考試改革,已經(jīng)有44個(gè)州決定參加這一將從2014-2015學(xué)年開(kāi)始的改革。 這一改革將改變現(xiàn)在以多項(xiàng)選擇等為主要形式的考試形式,而改為以行為表現(xiàn)任務(wù)(performance-based tasks)為主要形式。新聞中舉了一個(gè)案例來(lái)說(shuō)明這一新的題型:假設(shè)你是市長(zhǎng),需要降低城市污染,就必須全面檢驗(yàn)各種工具,寫(xiě)出分析性的解決方案。新聞指出,有專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為,若這些方案得到實(shí)施,將是顛覆美國(guó)的中小學(xué)現(xiàn)行的考試體系。(if these plans work out, itll turn the c

2、urrent testing system upside down,” said bruce fuller, an education professor at berkeley.) 美國(guó)的改革值得我們思考之處很多,譬如: 1、能力成為評(píng)價(jià)的關(guān)鍵。 2、不是“說(shuō)是風(fēng)就是雨”所謂“雷厲風(fēng)行”式的改革,而是現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始實(shí)驗(yàn),四五年以后實(shí)施的、有計(jì)劃、有前期實(shí)驗(yàn)的改革計(jì)劃。 3、國(guó)家資助各州改革。 4、專(zhuān)家參與改革設(shè)計(jì)與改革實(shí)驗(yàn),而非行政首長(zhǎng)一言堂。最近某省考試院告知,該省的新課程高中學(xué)業(yè)評(píng)價(jià)計(jì)劃被該省分管教育的副省長(zhǎng)否定,而現(xiàn)在該省的新課程高考改革方案又可能難以突破。省里的官員為何有權(quán)一言否決教育部的

4、ecent years are being overhauled.over the next four years, two groups of states, 44 in all, will get $330 million to work with hundreds of university professors and testing experts to design a series of new assessments that officials say will look very different from those in use today.the new tests

7、 tests will be computerized and will be administered several times throughout the school year, they are expected to provide faster feedback to teachers than the current tests about what students are learning and what might need to be retaught.“if these plans work out, itll turn the current testing s

8、ystem upside down,” said bruce fuller, an education professor at berkeley.the tests are being redesigned to assess the common academic standards in english and math that nearly 40 states have adopted in recent months.one group, led by florida, will be made up of 25 states and the district of columbi

9、a. among its members are several large states like california, illinois and new york. known as the partnership for assessment of readiness for college and careers, the group was awarded $170 million.the other group, whose membership overlaps the first, has 31 states and is led by washington. it incl

11、jersey, pennsylvania and ohio, are participating in both groups but are expected eventually to choose one set of tests.the two groups are supposed to work in a friendly competition, though their plans are “strikingly similar,” said elena silva, a senior policy analyst at education sector, a washingt

14、, students are given a problem they could be told, for example, to pretend they are a mayor who needs to reduce a citys pollution and must sift through a portfolio of tools and write analytically about how they would use them to solve the problem.the new tests could be useful to teachers by giving t
