The reformation of education assessment undergoing revealed a new vision of assessment for teaching and learning, in which the Developmental Assessment Theory for Teaching and Learning (DATL) was applied and Information and Communication Technology was necessarily utilized. In this dissertation, the author paid serious attention on how to develop ICT platform to support the developmental assessment for teaching and learning. As for this purpose, the author also focused on how to carry out developmental assessment, what's support needed in carrying out developmental assessment. With the ICT platform dedicated for developmental assessment, the author also pointed out what's the tentative practice of developmental assessment said in test-bed schools.The main contents of this dissertation consist of the following 7 parts:(1) Connotation of the DATTL. What is developmental assessment and the Basic theories for further research are discussed in this section.(2) The Assessment-Centered Environment (ACE) design Environment design for the application of DATL. The connotation and details of ACE are discussed in this section.(3) Principles for activity design of DATL. A suit of strategies is given to achieve a homogeneous design with learning activities and assessment activities to meet the needs of situation-specific problem solving.(4) Tools and methods applied by DATL. Tools and methods are re-sorted by the need of DATL to improving the assessment processes of teaching and learning.(5) Design of DATL supporting platform. Information architecture of DATL supporting system and e-portfolio standard are addressed in this section.(6) Programming for DATL supporting platform. Optimization technology is given to improving system performance.(7) Practice of DATTL.Development research is applied by author to expand the initial architecture of DATTL in the process of research. It is also applied to further deep into the system design and programming.The main innovations of this dissertation are the following:(1) A set of strategy is given to achieve a homogeneous design with learning activities and assessment activities.(2) Offered Principles for the design of DATL supporting platform.(3) Expand the contents of China's e-learning technology standards (CELTS) through the research on principles of storage, co-operating and standardization for e-portfolio.(4) Given software example to popularize the application of CELTS.
