Research Into The Paradigms Of Classroom Instruction Assessment

It is the primary hypothesis for this thesis that paradigms and their transformations exist in the horizons of classroom instruction assessment.Traditionally, the research into classroom instruction assessment was the research into Tyler's evaluation model and Tyler-like evaluation model, whose central ideas are concerned with objective evaluation. Nowadays, the research shifts to the research of the new classroom instruction assessment model in which researchers pay more attention to subject generation. Following this shift, some researchers are engaged in the practical researches and theoretical constructions of classroom instruction assessment, which are consistent with new educational concepts. And they have gained some satisfactory achievements. At present, classroom instruction assessment is in the period of paradigm transformation, and there exist two types of paradigms, which are very incompatible with each other. So, people are confronted with a lot of new situations and problems in classroom instruction and assessment.Following the thread that combine history with logic, and employing the method of documents analysis, that of history investigation and that of logic deduction, this thesis analyzes preliminarily the connotation, construction and the key elements of paradigm, especially those of the paradigms of classroom instruction assessment, and makes deep researches into the two types of paradigms existing in classroom instruction assessment: scientism and humanism, and puts forward normalized ideas of classroom instruction and assessment, and then explores the rational standards of the two types of paradigms. The thesis also reveals and analyzes the concrete being of the rational standards in the fields of them, and strives to clarify whether or not people want to normalize rationally classroom instruction assessment. On the basis of those, the thesis proposes that, although the two types of paradigms of classroom instruction assessment have their respective bestimmtheit, it's possible for the harmonious transformation between them, which requires people seek for the equilibrium in tension between them.
