Prospects for the Reform of Educational Evaluation in the New Era:The Fifth-generation Educational Evaluation
The reform of education evaluation in the new era is a systematic project to implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and talents,and to eliminate the entrenched issues associated with the"Five Onlys".It is also a breakthrough point for advancing China's education toward high-quality development in the present and future.Faced with the triple external forces of value-driven change,social transformation,and technological innovation,educational evaluation will shift towards the fifth-generation of educational evaluation at the philosophical,theoretical,and technological levels.The fifth-generation represents the future direction of educational evaluation reform in the new era.Guided by the spirit of"scientific humanism",it builds upon the fourth generation by emphasizing the integration and functional application of intelligent technologies in educational evaluation,demonstrating value orientations of wisdom,holism,and developmental focus.In order to achieve the blueprint of education evaluation reform in the new era,the fifth generation should fully exhibit multidimensional attributes:intelligent operation,integrated development,participatory construction,responsive service,and differentiated implementation.This involves creating an evaluation ecosystem supported by digital technologies,establishing an evaluation philosophy that integrates multiple theoretical resources,building evaluation organizations with multi-stakeholder participation,highlighting demand-driven evaluation functions,and maintaining practices that are tailored to individuals,stages,and categories.
