摘　　要：在市场力量的推动作用下,当今的高校评估不再局限于学校内部,而是依据高校自身设定的使命完成评估的循环过程,以期同步实现问责制。作者提出了一个新的三级评估范式,以对公众需求的信息做出回应。新评估范式的三个等级需要展示学生学习的成果、显示高等教育投资回报率和确保高校的社会效益。在这个三级评估范式中,评估活动根据信息接收端的需求展开,并且上一级的评估总是建立在下一级评估所提供的信息基础之上。Driven by market forces, today＇s higher education institutions can no longer stay within the institutional boundary and use self-defined missions to complete the assessment loop, wishing that the purpose of accountability can be served at the same time. The author proposes a new three-level assessment paradigm that is responsive to the public demand for information. Specifically, institutions need to demonstrate learning outcomes, show return on investment, and ensure social benefits. Assessment activities at each level are conducted according to the needs of the receiving end of information, with each successive assessment level built on information provided the lower level.
