如何通过评价促进教师反思——美国大学STEM课堂评价工具REFLECT研究

To Promote Teachers’Introspection by Evaluation:Research on American University STEM Classroom Evaluation Protocol REFLECT

REFLECT是美国最新研发的基于课堂观察的形成性教师教学评价工具,旨在培养反思型STEM教师。该工具包括观察前会议、选定观察主题、教师自我评估、同行课堂观察、学生即时反馈、观察者总结学生反馈、观察后会议等七个要素。它主要呈现出三个特点:突出形成性评价;保证评价的客观公正性;注重评价中的对话交流。该工具为如何通过评价促进教师反思提供了三点启示:实现评价主体多元化,为教师反思提供外部支持;充分发挥教师主体性,激发教师反思的内在动机;实施发展性教师评价,引领教师走向反思自觉。

REFLECT is the newly developed formative teacher teaching evaluation protocol based on classroom observation in the United States,with the ultimate goal of fostering more reflective STEM faculty.It includes seven elements:the pre-observation meeting,observation focus selection,teacher self-assessment,peer classroom observation,students’minute feedback,the observer summarizing students’feedback and the post-observation meeting.Its characteristics are highlighting the formative assessment,ensuring impartiality and fairness for the evaluation and emphasizing dialogues and communication in the evaluation process.This protocol provides three important implications for the promotion of teachers’reflection by evaluation:to realize the diversification of evaluation subjects,which can provide external support for teachers’introspection,to give full play to the subjectivity of faculty,which can elicit teachers’intrinsic motivation for self-reflection,and to implement developmental faculty evaluation,which can help to construct teachers’self-consciousness for reflection.
