How should education be evaluated? Recently, the Ministry of Education issued the guidelines for the evaluation of school running quality of ordinary high schools (hereinafter referred to as the "evaluation guidelines"), which lists in detail the five aspects of "evaluation content", including school running direction, curriculum teaching, teacher development, school management and student development, with a total of 18 key indicators and 48 examination points, In order to "establish and improve the education evaluation system and promote the connotation development and quality improvement of ordinary high school education". Educational evaluation is related to the direction of educational development. What kind of evaluation baton, there is what kind of school running guidance. *** The context of educational evaluation reform is gradually clear - speed up the establishment of a quality evaluation system guided by the development of quality education. Implement the fundamental task of Building Morality and cultivating people, follow the law of education and talent growth, and accelerate the realization of the educational goal of simultaneous development of five education and all-round development. As far as the educational subjects targeted by the evaluation guide are concerned, ordinary high school schools have a special status. Ordinary high school education is an important part of the national education system and plays a key role in talent training. Running ordinary high school education well is of great significance to consolidate the achievements of the popularization of compulsory education, enhance the momentum of the development of higher education and further improve the overall quality of the people. Following the several opinions on further stimulating the vitality of primary and secondary schools issued by the Ministry of education and other eight departments in 2020, ordinary high schools, as an independent whole, are on the right track of educational evaluation reform for the first time, which shows their important role in talent training. The primary problem of education is who to cultivate. The evaluation guide gives two clear answers: first, education is the great plan of the country and the party, which requires ordinary high schools to adhere to the socialist school running direction and adhere to serving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as an important mission of education. Based on this, our education must take the training of socialist builders and successors as the fundamental task, and the "direction of running a school" ranks first among the five evaluation contents, which is the profound meaning. Second, education is the education of human soul, not the accumulation of rational knowledge. The law of education requires us to abandon the cramming teaching and follow children's nature to promote their growth into people with all-round development. As far as the evaluation content is concerned, adding the key indicators of "improving comprehensive quality" in "Curriculum Teaching" and "strengthening campus culture construction" in "school management" are the specific measures to implement the reform of quality education. If the multifaceted evaluation content focuses on the comprehensive evaluation of school running quality, the multi-body division of responsibility focuses on promoting the rooting of educational evaluation. In terms of the implementation process, a round of evaluation cycle includes five steps: school self-evaluation, county-level audit, municipal comprehensive evaluation, provincial overall evaluation and national random inspection and monitoring. The education evaluation chain is linked and progressive at all levels, which is intended to urge different subjects to earnestly perform their evaluation responsibilities and prevent the phenomenon of systematic and complete index "idling". "Education is not indoctrination, but lighting a flame." The evaluation guide is not only the "evaluation form" of the school running quality of local high schools, but also draws a "new picture" for high school education. When the bad tendencies such as "only score and only going to school" are far away from children and education, the achievements of Lide Shuren can be more sufficient, the flame of scientific and technological innovation can be more and more prosperous, and educational evaluation is expected to promote the return of education to its essence.
