How Does the UK Make the Teaching of Higher Education More Excellent?——Tracking the Effectiveness,Reflection and Improvement of TEF

英国高等教育正在经历一场根本性的变革,政府围绕学生的选择,研发了教学卓越与学生成果框架(TEF),旨在向学生提供更高质量、透明公开和物有所值的高等教育服务。2016~2017年是TEF的首轮预期评估,英国政府通过对此次评估结果的全面考察,系统分析了院校获奖结果、学生参与特征和用户体验反响;深刻反思了评估指标的精准性与引导性、评估过程的差异性和适切性、评估架构的监管性和服务性等价值导向;相应改进了评估指标技术和功能、评估过程方法和模式、评估架构体系和机制。基于此,英国教学卓越与学生成果框架及其评估工作将对我国高校教学评估的目的、宗旨、技术、方法和主体等方面提供有益的启示。

The British higher education is undergoing a fundamental change. The government developed the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework（ TEF） based on the choice of students,aiming to provide students with higher education services which are higher quality,transparent,open and good valued. Year 2016/17 was a trial year of the TEF assessment. Through the comprehensive investigation,the British government analyzed the final award,student characteristics and higher education sector reaction; reflected deeply of the accuracy and guidance of the metrics,difference and relevance of the process,supervision and service of the framework;and improved the corresponding technology and function of the metrics,method and mode of the process,and system and mechanism of the framework. Based on these,the TEF of UK and its assessment provide useful references and inspirations for Chinese higher education teaching assessment on purposes,aims,technologies,methods and subjects.
