An Empirical Study of Effects of Portfolio Assessment on English Learners in a Chinese Medicine University

传统的终结性评价存在着诸多弊端,正逐渐被更加客观全面地体现学生学习过程的形成性评价所取代。其中档案袋评价强调评价过程的发展性和评价主体的多元化,是一种有效且可行的形成性评价方式。本研究在某中医院校的大学英语课中对档案袋评价进行了实证研究,并用SPSS19.0对收集到的问卷数据和英语成绩进行了分析。研究发现,档案袋评价对于学生学习策略尤其是元认知策略能产生积极的影响;与对照班相比,实验班的英语学习成绩有明显的提高,存在统计学意义。

Portfolio assessment is an effective and feasible assessment which emphasizes the development of assessment process and plurality of assessors.
