Design of course evaluation system based on formative evaluation: a case study of Medical Infor-mation Analysis / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on formative evaluation, we constructed the evaluation system of Medical Infor-mation Analysis according to the literatures and theories of learning evaluation and teaching practice. In the present evaluation system, teachers and students evaluate each other. It focuses on the evaluation and feed-back of student learning. The frame of the system includes three primary indicators — learning attitude, interactive participation and behavioral results , and six corresponding secondary indicators for student learning evaluation. It is significant to introduce formative evaluation into course evaluation and to combine process evaluation with summative evaluation in evaluating those courses with many contents and limited time .It could improve teaching quality, promote student learning, and effectively achieve the curriculum objectives at last. The present evaluation system could be reference for other related curriculum evaluation.
