Theoretical Model of Teachers'Assessment Competencies:Connotation,Structure and Performance
The connotation of teachers'assessment competencies has undergone two major changes from the one-dimensional theory of skill to the two-dimensional theory of knowledge and skill,and then to the three-dimensional theory of knowledge,skill,and character.According to the three-dimensional theory,teachers'assessment competencies include three elements:The first element is assessment knowledge,which includes declarative knowledge,procedural knowledge,and reflective knowledge of assessment;second,assessment skills,including both ontological assessment skills in determining assessment goals,designing assessment plans,implementing assessment programs and handling assessment results,and meta-assessment skills in monitoring assessment activities and self-assessment competencies;third,as-sessment character,including both scientific character that promotes the effective implementation of as-sessment,ethical character that promotes the standardized implementation of assessment,and meaningful character that is willing to complete the assessment.The performances of teachers'assess-ment competencies in assessment activities can be divided into four parts:determining assessment goals,designing assessment plans,implementing assessment plans,and processing assessment results.
