| In order to construct an elementary and high school curriculum and a teaching system under the WTO framework, the reform on teaching assessment is currently becoming urgent. Through this reform, and by confirming the teaching activities on the basis of result and influence, and guiding them to their destination, the success of the new round teaching reform can be safeguarded. After carefully studying the assessment method of geography of the IBDP(International Baccalaureate Diploma Program), the author finds that the teaching aim between IBDP and domestic high school is much alike, but the ability reflected from the students is quite different. The reason lies in the fact that the IBDP teaching process comprises a system of "teaching - results - assessment - teaching", which best elaborates the effect of this perfect assessment, which, by working constantly, guides the teaching effectively. This brand new system makes the teaching method and style quite different from the domestic teaching which is characterized as instilling. The integration of students-oriented open teaching method and its specific field trip fosters the students'creative ability, infonnation collecting and processing ability, as well as the ability to cooperate, to explore, and to practise, effective geography techniques, and the double character of science and human and it greatly enhances teaching effect. The formative evaluation of IBDP highlights not only students'thinking ability, but also their scientific attitude and scientific method, and their ability to cooperate and to integrate. The evaluation method of IBDP has greatly influenced the teaching process, and it should be used as reference for our new round of teaching reform. Based on a thorough study of the IBDP geography, the author has put forward some constructive suggestions for the teaching reform of China.
