The "construction stage" of educational evaluation: the importance of understanding and mutual understanding
Since 1970s, the importance of understanding and mutual understanding has been emphasized in the # construction stage of educational evaluation. This echoes the fourth generation evaluation period proposed by Cuba and Lincoln, and holds that the essence of educational evaluation is "construction". This paper will discuss the main characteristics of this stage in depth to help readers better understand the development process of educational evaluation.

The result of "negotiation"

Educational evaluation is not only the common psychological construction process of evaluators and interested parties, but also the result of "consultation". This evaluation method pays more attention to participation and consensus, and emphasizes the equality and respect of all parties in the evaluation process.

Pluralistic values

Multiple values dominate the process of constructive evaluation. Evaluators need to respect different cultures, values and cognitive styles in order to better understand and evaluate the performance of the evaluated.

The process of democracy and participation

Constructive evaluation becomes a democratic and participatory process, rather than unilateral control. The evaluator needs to fully communicate with the evaluated person to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the evaluation results.

qualitative evaluation

Constructive evaluation method pays more attention to quality, which goes beyond the limitations of quantitative methods. Evaluators need to make a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the evaluated performance through in-depth observation and analysis.

A profound philosophical foundation

Constructive evaluation has a profound philosophical foundation, which draws lessons from contemporary philosophical thoughts, such as the "dialectical cycle" of hermeneutics and the "dialogue" of postmodernism. These ideas provide evaluators with more profound thinking and analysis tools.

people-oriented

Constructive evaluation makes all stakeholders become the main body of evaluation and truly people-oriented. The evaluator needs to fully consider the needs and interests of the evaluated person to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the evaluation results.
