The Development and Experience of the Basic Education Value-added Evaluation in England
As a fairer and more reasonable method to measure school effectiveness,value-added e-valuation has been adopted by many countries to advance reforms in basic education.England has accu-mulated over 20 years of theoretical and practical experience in value-added evaluation,progressing through four stages:Simple Value-Added,Contextual Value-Added,Expected Progress,and Pro-gress.The main characteristics of England's value-added evaluation include:adhering to the original evaluative intent while maintaining technical rationality,focusing on key principles and adjusting com-parison groups,balancing complex algorithms with social benefits,and strengthening educational ac-countability to drive school improvement.China can learn from England's experience by developing a comprehensive national plan for implementing value-added evaluation,encouraging local pilot projects,and building a value-added data system based on regional education quality monitoring that aligns with China's specific context.It is also crucial to ensure that value-added evaluation methods are scientifical-ly sound and practically feasible,emphasizing their diagnostic function while promoting awareness and providing training for schools,teachers,parents,and other stakeholders.
