对我国高校本科教学水平评估工作的评价与反思

A Comment and Reflection on the Grading Assessment of Undergraduate Teaching of Higher Learning Institutions in our Country

始于2003年的本科教学水平评估工作,在客观上推动了我国高等院校的建设和发展,促进了教育教学质量的提高。但由于实施的过程中的制度性缺陷,也产生了一系列问题:评估主体的一元化倾向遮蔽了独立自主的大学精神;"求优分等"的思维方式导致大学评估工作目标移位;标准化、数量化、常模化的评估指标体系与所倡导的"特色化"、"多样化"的发展理念形成悖论。改进和完善我国高校本科教学水平评估工作的思路与对策是:切实转变政府职能,构建中介性的评估组织,真正实现评估主体的多元化;树立科学合理的教育评估观念,应从分等求优式的评估理念转变为改进工作、改善教学的发展性评估理念;建立多样化的质量标准体系。

The assessment of undergraduate teaching level starting in 2003 enhanced construction and development of higher learning institutions in our country and improvement of teaching quality from an objective perspective. However, owing to the demerits in the system of assessment, a series of problems arose, such as covering up the university＇ s spirit of independence and self-decision due to the centralized assessing subject, transferring the aims of assessment due to the thinking pattern for optimizing and grading, causing a conflict between the standardized, digitalized and normalized system of assessment targets and the specialized and diversified conception of development. To improve and perfect the assessment of undergraduate teaching level, governmental function is to be transformed and a medium organization of teaching assessment to be established to really realize the plurality of assessing subjects.
