Traceability and Originality:Re-understanding of"Process Evaluation"
Based on the investigation of"process evaluation"in the context of policy terminology and academic terminology,this paper reveals the"whole process theory","single process theory"and"dual process theory"of process evaluation,as well as the"substitution theory","confusion theory"and"difference theory"of process evaluation and formative evaluation.Through the traceability of process evaluation and its related concepts,and through the development stages of beginning,turning,elimination,and integration,The study believes that the"process"in process evaluation is an understanding of the relative time meaning.Although process evaluation and formative evaluation have a natural connection,they are essentially different in time and value meaning.While process evaluation and product evaluation seem to have obvious differences,they are highly related in the direction of action,and can be integrated in formative evaluation or summative evaluation.Finally,the practice of process evaluation in practice includes:accurately grasp the value orientation of evaluation,focus on typical behavior performance,continuously improve the reflective self-evaluation mechanism,and technology enables accurate improvement.
