curriculum evaluation of secondary vocational school;And the other is to collect and analyze the relevant literatures about the moral education curriculum evaluation of secondary vocational school via CNKI,Google scholar,super star,ten thousand party databases,Web of Science database,EBSCO,Proquest,Springer Link,Emerald,and the library,etc.We found that,in the research of moral education curriculum evaluation of secondary vocational schools,the current academic circles mainly focus on the models,functions,subjects,principles,contents,methods,policies and its practice.The deficiencies mainly embody in the following five aspects: The first one is that the policies and measures of the comprehensive reform on education of our country is not sensitive enough to reflect the practice process of the current and the new task we are facing in recent years;The second is that the research tends to be static,lacking of dynamic analysis and comparison;The third is the shortage of practice;The fourth is that the introduction is much more than indigenous innovation;And the fifth is that most researches take a certain or a few schools in a region as a case,while ignore the comparison across the region.Secondly,this dissertation is mainly based on man's all-round development theory,lifelong education theory and the complex system theory.I persevere in the combination of field research method is one of the best ways to get direct cognition and evaluate the objects,which helps to obtain first-hand information.The main methods are observation method,lecture method,test method and investigation method.Through aggregating,carding and analyzing the raw data from literature analysis method,self-assessment reports,unit courses,course designs,teaching plans and course outlines,the dissertation combines the first-hand information and the secondary information,which is beneficial to form a correct diagnosis and to come to the conclusion based on facts.It's the aim of the

centralized system which is country-based,while local authorities and schools are under the subordinate position.From the management objectives and direction of gradual reform and the actual situation,the curriculum management of the central country level will retain a considerable degree,and plays an important role in the curriculum reform process."Bottom-up" mode in secondary vocational school curriculum evaluation is that secondary vocational schools carry out their own independent development,implementation of school-based curriculum evaluation,and that local governments assess moral education curriculum of secondary vocational school in region.Overall,in accordance with the new round of secondary vocational school moral education curriculum reform,the existing secondary vocational school moral education curriculum evaluation still remains some gaps,specifically in the following six aspects:(1)concept: the priority of management doctrine;(2)subject: the lack of depth and breadth of participation;(3)process: the ignorance of the overall development of students;(4)methods: the simplification of evaluation method;(5)function: the reduction of function's improvement,stimulation and guidance;(6)benefit: the phenomenon of larger output with less input.The Second Chapter,The Factors and Ideas on Moral Education Curriculum Evaluation of Secondary
