让智障儿童进入社会中生活,这是特殊教育的目标。判断这一目标达成与否以及该调整怎样的策略去实现,可以通过评估手段来检验。但是,笔者在实际工作中发现,评估的结果与学生所要得到的目标相差甚远,并不能反映出学生进入社会的真实水平。怎样的评估才有效?本文是一所寄宿制的特殊教育学校的教师在实践中总结出来的一些在生活区进行评估的经验,值得同仁借鉴。 Letting mentally retarded children enter the life in society is the goal of special education. To determine whether this goal is reached or not, and what kind of strategy should be adjusted can be tested by means of assessment. However, in actual work, the author found that the result of the assessment is far from the goal the students are expected to obtain, and it can not reflect the true level of students entering the society. What kind of evaluation is effective? This article is a boarding school for special education teachers summed up in practice some of the experience in living area assessment, it is worth learning from colleagues.
