| PE Teaching Evaluation (PETE) theory is a frontier and overlapping discipline, belonging to social science and natural science as well. It is a part of teaching evaluation theory, school PE study and a derivative discipline of evaluation theory.In terms of its scope of study, PETE can split into two types: macro-PETE and micro-PETE. The former includes all the evaluation activities concerning PE teaching; the latter, as we usually refer to, is confined to those activities within schools.Micro-PETE can also be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. The broad sense means to evaluate all the factors that effect PE teaching activities, like PE classes, teachers, students, course-books, etc. And the narrow, sense generally means to evaluate PE classes.As an educational idea, Quality Education has the obvious value tendency as well. It stands for the direction of the educational reform. Because the evaluation is a process of the value determination, the up-to-date PETE should define the scientific evaluating criteria and content frame, according to the target and criterion of Quality Education.Recent years, owing to (he deep study, the theory of the sustainable development has extended into the fields of Education, PE, etc. PE Teaching assumes a new developing state and feature. When carrying on PETE, we should draw the support from the criteria which we have had. In addition, we should evaluate from the height of the sustainable development. At the same time, we will form an integrated and scientific evaluating system and means, considering Quality Education view, such as integration, quality, development, dynamic and so on.Modern teaching evaluation theory has been introduced to China for only 20 years. So during this germinating period, this theory exhibits several problems to solve: (1) The evaluation pays too much attention to class teaching quality and class participants, neglecting the other aspects; (2) For the aspect of method option, appropriate understanding and combination of differing methods is not enough; (3) The theoretical research exceeds practical studies; (4) A research on an overall scale need to be given more emphasis. PETE is a complicated, multi-leveled system , the most efficient system evaluation theory is needed in order to explore its patterns scientifically.According to the point of view of systemic theory, a system is an organism with many factors intersecting and influencing each other. PETE is also a system consisting of many interactive sub-systems or factors such as evaluationobjects, evaluation organization and personnel, evaluation criteria, and so on. The objects of evaluation are composed of PE class teachers, students, classes, course-books, etc. Evaluation criteria system is a rather complex subsystem made up of three factors: criteria items, weight sets and evaluation method. It is a key component on PETE, and plays an important role in the realization of PETE functions. The quality of Evaluating Target System is finally embodied on the information which is for the evaluating results. It is also embodied on the effect which is provided by itself. The most basic criterion is whether the evaluating information offers adequate evidences for the evaluating object to make the value decision, and whether the evaluation takes effect on the evaluating object. The quality of evaluation criteria, as a result, depends on its reliability, validity and application. Reliability shows the consistence between evaluation result and evaluation objects; Validity reflects the extent how evaluation result can give an accurate expression of the PE teaching activities; Application means the application of a criteria system by evaluators and evaluation objects. The organization and the staff of PETE include the evaluating organized administration, the professional organization and the staff. Evaluation organization and personnel can be fulltime or part-time, governmental or non-governmental.The procedure of PETE is as follows: classification of the goal of PETES?analysis of...
