The Construction And Application Of The Performance Development Evaluation Model Of ICT In Basic Education

In recent years,with the advancement of two-way platform,ICT in basiceducation has entered a new stage of development.Educational equity,high balance and lifelong learning system have become the sustained focus of society.Thereby the evaluation of ICT in education has been brought from the edge to the center of the attention.The previous research into performance development evaluation of ICT in basiceducation reveals that there is an urgent need of a performance evaluation model that can not only guide the evaluation but also improve the performance.In response to this reality,this study presents four research questions:Why the evaluation of performance development of ICT in basic education needs to be conducted?How should we determine the value and the model of performance development evaluation?How can the performance development evaluation model be constructed?How can the model of performance development evaluation be applied to the practice?Centering around the research questions,the study adopted a mixed researchmethod,using literature study,comparative research,deduction,structural equation modeling,questionnaire,analytic hierarchy process,Delphi method to collect,process and analyze the literature and data.The researcher first conducted an analysis on the value and pattern of the performance development evaluation model of ICT in education,followed by the analysis of the system and performance of ICT in basic education.On the basis of the analysis,the researcher developed a preliminary performance development evaluation model.According to the requirement of validation data for observable variables,data acquisition tools were designed and developed.Following the structural equation modeling method,the researcher verified and eventually constructed the initial setting of the model.Finally,the application methods and process models were proposed.The whole study could be divided into four parts:1.Analysis of the value and mode of evaluation modelBased on the analysis,comparison and integration of the value orientation of evaluation in previous research,the researcher set the value orientation as diagnosis,improvement and development.After comparing and analyzing several assessment models of ICT in education,the researcher established the performance evaluation mode,and pointed out that the typical feature of the model is the emphasis on the analysis and utilization of the evaluation result.2.Analysis of the system of ICT in education and its performanceThrough comparing and analyzing the domestic and foreign research on factors influencing the outcome of ICT in education,the researcher proposed that the system of ICT in basic education consists of five elements,namely,information infrastructure,information resources,information technology security,information technology applications,and information technology composition.Through analyzing the performance of ICT in basic education,the researcher proposed four structural elements of performance of ICT in basic education:effetc,efficiency,effectiveness and efficacy.3.Setting,verifying and establishment of the performance development evaluation model of ICT in basic educationThe researcher set the five elements of system of ICT in Basic education as the exogenous latent variables of the evaluation model and set the four structural element of performance as the endogenous latent variables.Based on the relationship between latent variables,the researcher set the initial evaluation model of performance.According to the requirement of validation data for observable variables,the researcher designed and developed the data acquisition tools.Following the structural equation modeling method,the researcher verified and eventually established the initial setting of the model.Finally the researcher established the performance evaluation model which constitutes of measuring model and structural model.4.The method and process of application of performance development evaluation model of ICT in basic educationBased on the measuring model,the researcher proposed the method and process of applying the model and analyzed the developmental indicators and their application,using the construction of the evaluation system and development of assessment scale as examples.Based on the structural model,the researcher proposed the optimization strategy of the developmental route.Finally,the researcher pointed out the deficiencies of the research and suggested the possibilities for further research.
