The Study Of Teacher's Instructional Evaluation About Web-Assisted Instruction In Higher Education

With the development of network-technology and construction of Campus-Wide Information Systems, web-assisted instruction is being used widely in higher education. How to prove the quality of web-assisted instruction, especially instructional evaluation of teachers in this brand-new teaching area, is to be urgently settled at the present time. Whether web-assisted instruction can bring into play it's predominance in higher education or not, the key factor is some people of using this pattern, teacher and student. The most important one is teacher who can discern advantages and disadvantages between distant teaching and traditional classroom teaching, turn about traditional educational thinking or idea, change old instructional habits, think over again and orient again, so as to match new instructional target of web-assisted instruction. Therefore, this paper carries through the pilot study of instructional evaluation during web-assisted instruction on teacher's emphasis. With the guidance of the theory of constructivism and developmental teacher evaluation and combination of web-assisted instruction's characteristics, we design teacher's instructional evaluation system about web-assisted instruction, according to its' purposes, goals, contents, principles in evaluation teaching.The thesis is composed of five chapters. In chapter one, we summarize theories of teacher's instructional evaluation, including the conception of teacher's instructional evaluation, influences of learning theory, the research of home and abroad about teacher's evaluation. Chapter two, we introduce the conception of web-assisted instruction, and it's instructional form and structure. We contrast web-assisted instruction and distant teaching and traditional classroom teaching, in order to definitude the keystone of-instructional evaluation during web-assisted instruction. Chapter three and four, we discuss the purposes, goals, contents, commonly sequences, principles in the instructional evaluation of web-assisted instruction. Four instructional evaluation systems are designed according to different principle part of evaluation. Chapter five, we make a tentative plan about teachers' instructional evaluation on network-technology, including evaluation system's modules, the flow to apply instructional evaluation system and data organization of evaluation.
