Current Situation of Chinese Primary and Secondary Innovative Teachers’ Evaluation in Maker Classes

Abstract

Maker education is a new educational pattern in China, which also caters for the political ideology called “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”. Maker education pays much more attention to the students’ learning processes, so it is essential for teachers to use proper evaluation to judge the students’ learning situation and behaviors, so as to give students more detailed direction to get better. So investigating innovative teachers’ evaluation competences is an important work to promote the development of maker education. This study tries to analyze teachers’ attitude and progress when evaluating students and find some problems they have faced. A depth interview went behind the questionnaire to find whether teachers were having problems when evaluating students. At the end of the paper, some detailed suggestions are given to help the teachers evaluate students more effectively.
