promoting the total development of students’ moral
education, intellectual education, physical education
and aesthetic education. Therefore, the contents of
the teaching should also be diversified, set to
achieve each objective mentioned above. It is
obvious that to make a comprehensive evaluation of
physical education teachers’ teaching, the contents
of evaluation are bound to be diverse. In order to
make objective, accurate, comprehensive assessment
of physical education teachers, the main body of
evaluation must be diversified. In the past, it was
hard to make the evaluation objective and accurate
only relying on leaders in charge or students and the
main body of the evaluation of teachers should be
from different groups related to teaching: leaders in
charge, students, experts and teachers themselves.
In order to realize the functions of diagnosis,
feedback, orientation and development, the
evaluation time of PE teachers should be diversified,
to avoid the practice in the past that the evaluation
was made only at the end of the term, or when it was
needed. Evaluation can be done after a class or after
a unit and can be made randomly by leaders in
charge, students and experts or teachers themselves
can make judgments of their periodic teaching. The
evaluation should not be limited to one moment, but
should be done anytime and randomly, so as to
promote the development of teachers.
In order only to rank excellent, good, medium
and bad, the purpose of the evaluation in the past
was single. Therefore, the evaluation results were
surely single and such evaluation is not conducive to
the development of teachers. Diversified evaluation
results of teacher not only include the summative
assessment—the comprehensive assessment of
teachers made at the end of terms, but also the
formative assessment—the assessment or feedback
information from different groups mentioned above
after every class or every unit, to help teachers
improve and perfect their teaching in the process of
assessment, feedback and amendment.
The diversified evaluation of teachers is also
reflected in the evaluation methods, including direct
evaluation, say, assessing by listening to class,
commenting on teaching, etc.; indirect evaluation,
say, questionnaire survey, students' panel discussion,
etc.; qualitative evaluation, such as teaching
evaluation, teaching attitude evaluation, etc.;
quantitative evaluation, such as progressive degree
of teaching, rational degree of teaching method, etc..
Only through multi-sided and multi-channel
evaluation information, can the appraisers make
comprehensive and accurate assessments of teachers’
work.
The purpose of the evaluation is to judge the
value of teachers’ work, and due to the difference of
reference standard of the diversified evaluation,
value judgment methods are also different, which
embodies the diversification of value judgment
methods. Among value judgment methods, the
absolute evaluation usually takes the fixed objective
standard as reference. Absolute evaluation is a
unified standard for all teachers, which, as a kind of
value judgment method, reflects, to a certain extent,
the school’s basic requirements for teachers, but also
ignores the individual difference of teachers as there
is only one type of evaluation standard. Therefore, in
a diversified teacher evaluation system, there is
relative evaluation which takes as reference the
average standard of teacher groups of the same rank.
However, Even through the combination of the
absolute evaluation and relative evaluation, it is hard
to make evaluations which can fully reflect the
personal development degree of teachers. Therefore,
there is another method of value judgment—
individual difference evaluation, which takes
teachers’ own past experiences and records as
reference. These three kinds of value evaluation
methods are mutually complemented and combined
and the exclusive use of any method above can not
reflect the comprehensiveness and accuracy of
teacher evaluation.
The principle of teacher evaluation is the basic
requirement of evaluation, which is the guarantee of
the validity and reliability of the evaluation. The
principle of evaluation is mainly in four aspects. The
first integrated principle, which is the evaluation of
the teacher's indicator system as a whole,
comprehensive, complete and systematic reflection
of the real situation of the teacher, the overall
principle requires that teachers should adhere to the
evaluation method of diversification, the collection
of information multi-channel, multi perspective.
Second guiding principle, refers to the teacher
evaluation work must focus on the teacher
professional development and education teaching
quality improvement, give full play to the evaluation
of the guidance, incentive and improvement function,
promote the evaluation of positive progress, carry
forward the advantages, to correct the shortcomings,
continuous improvement and development. The
objectivity principle, objectivity principle is refers to
the evaluation of teachers must adhere to the
objective and realistic attitude, starting from the
objective reality of teachers' work and their own, for
teachers to make objective and accurate evaluation,
not subjective and doping personal emotion. Fourth
development principle, is refers to the teacher
