摘要: |
美国中北部区域高等教育认证委员会2013年新认证标准对教育质量的评估提出了进一步的要求,强调教育要有质量,质量要有证据,评估重点转型到对学生学习结果的评估,作为判断学生学习质量的主要证据之一。在了解和借鉴境外同行的经验中,处理学校运行常态信息与质量信息的关系,思考教育理念共识与基于文化之教育理念之间的衔接点,可以使教育工作者对教育质量在现实社会大环境中的内涵有比较合理的认识。 |

Abstract: |
A review of the revision of accreditation criteria of the NCA/HLC reveals a renewed emphasis on assessment of student learning outcomes as one of the core values that institutions of higher education in the U.S. value. Turning student learning information into evidence of student learning outcomes would help educators to reflect on their teaching practices as well as assessment design of student learning. It is, however, important to consider cultural influences that impact beliefs of what constitutes the core of quality of education when designing assessment activities. |
Key words: Institutional accreditation Assessment of student learning outcomes Information of student learning vs. evidence of student learning outcomes |
