And self-made questionnaire was used to evaluate the effect of the assessment model and the improvement of clinical practice ability of graduate students. Results: The overall satisfaction rate of graduation assessment was 89.51%, the overall satisfaction rate of graduation assessment mode and practical ability improvement evaluation was 84.66%, the pass rate of assessment results was 100%, and the excellent rate was 71.42%. Conclusion: The MNS graduation practical ability assessment model has a high degree of satisfaction, objectively evaluates the knowledge, skills, attitudes and emotions of graduate students, promotes the comprehensive quality and ability of graduate students, which is worthy of promotion.

A Brief Analysis of the Formative Assessment of College English Learning

Summative assessment has always been the main method of classroom instruction while formative assessment has been badly and chronically neglected in the past. But, there has been much criticism of the validity and reliability of summative assessment from researchers. Presently, modern English teaching highlights the application of formative assessment, which puts great emphasis on the process development, and promotion of students' learning. It also serves as an import-ant part of the current curriculum reform. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to make further researches on formative assessment of EFL students from aspects of theory and practice.

Comparative Analysis of International School Education Evaluation Systems:A Case Study of the IB and A-Level

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the International Baccalaureate(IB)and the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level(A-Level),two international educational assessment systems.The study explores their similarities and differences in educational philosophy,curriculum design,assessment methods,and student experience.Findings indicate that the IB curriculum emphasizes holistic education and interdisciplinary learning,while the A-Level curriculum focuses more on subject depth and specialization.In terms of assessment methods,the IB combines internal and external evaluations,whereas the A-Level primarily relies on final examinations.Regarding student experience,IB students typically perceive a broader range of learning opportunities,while A-Level students gain in-depth knowledge in specific subject areas.The study offers valuable insights for educators and policymakers to improve educational practices and support the personalized development of students.

The Assessment of Higher Education Quality from the Perspective of Students through a Case Study Analysis

The assessment of quality in higher education from the perspective of students has three dimensions:students’assessment of teaching,students’satisfaction and students’learning engagement.These differ in conceptions of quality,evaluation methods,evaluation content,evaluation purposes,traits and priorities.The authors conducted three rounds of empirical investigations to study higher education quality assessment from students’perspective and concluded that students play multiple roles in higher education evaluation and assessment,all of which can be improved by strengthening students’objectivity and participation,evaluating the added value of a college education oriented to student development and taking the students’perspective as an important way to contribute to higher education quality enhancement,assurance and control,and make proper use of higher education evaluations and assessments.

Motivations and Training Needs of General Practitioner Preceptors

Background：General practitioner （GP） preceptors play an important role in the cultivation of GPs.Many problems exist in the training of GP preceptors.This study aimed to explore the willingness and training needs of GP preceptors and compare the differences between preceptors from general practice and other specialties.Methods：A total of 375 questionnaire forms were sent to 375 GP preceptors from 11 different provinces,and 344 completed forms were returned.The main outcome included general information,teaching motivations,and training needs of GP preceptors.Results：The study showed that about 89.2% of GP preceptors were willing to be teachers.The majority of respondents strongly agreed that the motivation for becoming a GP supervisor was to learn from teaching.The most important capability they should master was clinical teaching （92.2%）,followed by lecture （83.1%） and doctor-patient communication （83.1%）.The top three preferred methods of GP preceptors training were case discussion （78.8%）,workshop （57.6%）,and classroom teaching （56.4%）.The domains in which most GP preceptors wanted to acquire knowledge and skill were mental health （59.3%）,rehabilitation （47.1%）,pediatrics （41.0%）,and obstetrics （37.5%）.No significant differences were found in the willingness to train GPs （x2 =3.34,P 〉 0.05） and whether they would become or continue to become a GP supervisor after the training （x2 =l.106,P 〉 0.05）.Conclusions：Although most preceptors were under on-the-job training,they were glad to train GPs.To be qualified,preceptors should be trained according to the actual needs of GP preceptors.
