The Datafication of Teacher Evaluation:The Malaise for Its Generation and Its Ultimate Value
Human society is stepping into the digital age,when data are becoming increasingly important in the development of modern education.In the digital age,teacher evaluation across the world increasingly emphasizes the full use of digital technology,educational assessment tools and data in the reflection of teachers'professional value and the measurement of their professional efficacy.Monitoring teachers'educational practice with data,and converting them into their educational value,teacher evaluation in the digital age is guiding teachers to become datafied teachers.As the generative logic of datafied teachers,the datafication of teachers is shaped by the logics of the country,the market and the profession.Under the logic of country governance,the performance-based teacher accountability system enhances the efficacy of teacher development,but creates a paradox of transparency.Under the logic of market efficiency,private capital improves the efficiency of teacher evaluation,but triggers teachers'malaise for digital alienation.Under the logic of professional knowledge production,digital technology promotes the iterative updating of teachers'professional knowledge,but causes teachers'risk of de-professionalization.Stepping out of data worship is the key to improving teachers'subjectivity through modern teacher evaluation.We need to adhere to the basic principle of using data purposefully in order to solve such problems as what kind of data we use and how we use data in evaluation,and empower teachers'subjectivity construction;adhere to the ethical purpose of improving teachers'goodness,the promotion of the datafied evaluation based on public thinking,and the improvement of the development of teachers'subjectivity;and adhere to governance-centered action orientation,the improvement of the datafied evaluation system based on the concept of data justice,and the promotion of teachers'subjectivity.
