五十年前,美国众议院通过了具有里程碑意义的《初等和中等教育法》(Elementary and Secondary Education Act)。以此作为新起点,美国众议院相继颁布实施了一系列教育相关法案。在过去的50年中,美国教育在追求公平与卓越的征程中取得了许多重大进步。在这个过程中,教育评价发挥了许多关键性的作用。在纪念这一法案颁布五十周年之际,政策制定者们需要反思美国教育在追求公平与卓越这一双重目标时所面临的挑战。在本期访谈中,我们将邀请美国国家教育评价改进中心(National Center for Improvement of Educational Assessment)主任斯科特·默里恩博士(Dr.Scott Marion)向我们简要介绍美国中小学教育评价的政策背景,以及教育评价在推动教育公平和卓越过程中所发挥的作用。默里恩博士是美国资深的教育评价专家,他和他的团队长期致力改进教育评价质量的研究和实践。
Fifty years ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act. As a new starting point, the U.S. House of Representatives has promulgated and implemented a series of education-related bills one after another. For the past 50 years, the United States has made many major advances in its quest for fairness and excellence. In this process, education evaluation has played many key roles. In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the enactment of this act, policy-makers need to reflect on the challenges that American education faces in pursuing the twin goals of equity and excellence. In this interview, we will invite Dr. Scott Marion, director of the National Center for Improvement of Educational Assessment, to brief us on the policy of evaluating primary and secondary education in the United States Background, and the role played by educational evaluations in promoting equity and excellence in education. Dr. Murray is a veteran educational evaluation expert in the United States. He and his team have long been committed to improving the quality of education evaluation research and practice.
