An Exploratory Study In Using Blog As Multi-evaluation

We have stepped into an information era with the knowledge explosion and knowledge sharing together. Under this circumstance, it is crucial to evaluate the talented not by how much knowledge they have acquired but by their ability on how to acquire and apply the knowledge. Correspondingly, the aim of school education should shift from "knowledge-centred" to "ability-centred". However, the Study Evaluation at present is still mainly focused on testing the knowledge memorization. In order to catch up with the new era it is necessary for Study Evaluation to shift to Multi-evaluation. Blog's emergence has provided an effective forum to undertake.The purpose of this article is to explore the realisation channel based on Blog's Multi-evaluation. It starts from the introduction of the concepts- Blog and Study Evaluation. Then the idea of using Blog to bridge the Study Evaluation has been introduced according to Blog's characteristics. Santemously, the Multi-evaluation has been defined, which is the multi-study evaluation rather than a new concept or a new type of evaluation. Its variety can be represented as following: ① the person who is in charge of the evaluation is various; ② the evaluation content is various ③ the evaluation method is various.Next, survey method has been chosen to collect the data on the Study Evaluation. The survey has been conducted from the third year's undergraduates during term 2005-2006 in Nanyang Normal College from Chinese, Mathematics, and Education Technology three schools. The existing problems have been analysed: ① concentrating on knowledge memorization rather than the ability on development; ② appraising more on students' grade rather than developing students' multi-intelligence③ focusing on teachers' evaluations and ignoring study evaluation; ? centring on standards' unification rather than students' distinction.It is difficult to solve the entire aforementioned problems if only one evaluation method to be chosen. Hence, Multi-evaluation becomes necessary. Blog has provided an effective forum to realise Multi-evaluation. Following, experiments have been conducted on exploring Blog as Study Evaluation in the module of the Figure and Image's Production. The procedures are as followings: ① searching for a suitable Blog web; ② applying for group and personal Blog; ③ establishing an evaluation scheme and standard; ④ publishing the evaluation information; ⑤ managing the evaluation information.Blog Evaluation has been followed by questionnaires. The data from the questionnaires show that Blog Evaluation could stimulate the study interest and initiativeness. Moreover, it could cultivate students' ability on the creativity. It also could enhance the further communication between students and teachers.Finally, a number of problems emerging from the questionnaires have been analysed. Blog as Study Evaluation in Art or other highly practical programmes have been recommended.
