The Current State. Problem and Prospect of Curriculum Evaluation

Curriculum evaluation is an important issue in the curriculum reform. At present, curriculum evaluation in our country mainly includes the following aspects:the demand evaluation before curriculum reform; the pre-evaluation and revised evaluation on curriculum standards; the profound evaluation on teaching materials and the evaluation on curriculum implementation. Through examining and reflecting on the above evaluation work, we found that there exist some problems, such as the o-ver general understanding of the concept of curriculum evaluation, lack of systematic curriculum evaluation organization, absence of the local-based and school-based evaluation and over stress on administrative evaluation. In order to solve these problems and improve the quality of evaluation, we should reinforce the theoretical research of curriculum evaluation, strengthen the local-based especially school-based evaluation, establish effective curriculum standards and rational curriculum evaluation system, and also reinforce the dialogue and negotiation in the process of evaluation.
