大学教育評価の課題と展望

Abstract

Evaluation is now introducing into Japanese University at severe speed, especially into it's education. But regrettably, it should be pointed out that this introduction is often being carried out without inquiring into the purpose or context of the evaluation. Hence, evaluation is sometimes misunderstood as a mere political intervention or pressure, which agency (the evaluated sides) let pass or disregard. In this paper, the status quo of the diverse types of evaluation are discussed, and is proposed what should be done for the actualization and substantialization of the truely effective evaluation. Through the overview about the Participatory Evaluation and Meta Evaluation, as well as the action research of evaluation at the "Research Center for Higher Education of Kyoto University", the social constructivist evaluation theory is showed as one of the effective evaluation strategies.
