用档案袋评价取代专业型博士学位论文的建议

The Suggestion of Replacing the Dissertation with Portfolio Assessment in Professional Doctorate

博士生教育的传统评价方法,例如博士学位论文、课程分数、综合性的考试等已经在世界各国实施了很长时间,为保障博士生教育的质量发挥了非常大的作用。但是,随着时代的发展,教育教学理论的更新,以及培养新式学者的需要,这些传统的评价方法显得不合时宜。在这样的背景下,档案袋评价应运而生,它具有众多优点,可以更全面、更客观、更准确地评价博士生的学习、工作的状况。美国、英国、澳大利亚等国的大学已经在博士生教育中率先实施档案袋评价,并取得不错的效果。当前我国的专业型博士主要采用博士学位论文来衡量博士生的学业,造成了专业博士学位教育和哲学博士学位教育区分度不高的尴尬状况,据此,建议今后我国高校可以尝试用档案袋评价取代专业型博士学位论文。

Traditional assessment methods in doctoral education,such as doctoral dissertation,course scores,and comprehensive examinations,have been implemented in many countries around the world for a long time,playing a very important role in ensuring the quality of doctoral education.However,with the development of the times,the updating of educational teaching theories,and the need to cultivate new scholars,these traditional assessment methods are out of place.Under such a background,portfolio assessment came into being.It has many advantages,which can evaluate the status of doctoral students'study and work more comprehensively,objectively and accurately.Universities in the United States,Britain,Australia and other countries have implemented portfolio assessment in doctoral education,and achieved good results.At present,professional doctoral degree in China use doctoral dissertation to measure the doctoral students'academics,which leads to the awkward situation that the professional doctoral degree education and the doctoral degree doctor education are not highly differentiated.Based on this,it is suggested that colleges and universities in China can attempt to replace the dissertation with portfolio assessment in professional Doctorate.
