摘　　要：近年来,教师评估素养因其在学习和教学中的关键作用而受到广泛关注。随着最近对教师知识和技能建设的重视,相关理论和实证概念化不断涌现。其目的是做出高度情境化、公平、一致和值得信赖的评估决定,为学习和教学提供信息,从而有效地支持学生和教师的学习。本文探讨了在引入校本学习评估作为香港地区高风险中学评估改革的一部分后,中学英语教师评估素养的变化。本文利用近4,500名参加过评估改革头六年(2005-2011年)共同专业发展课程的教师完成的教师问卷调查,探讨了专业发展对教师评估素养的影响。尽管香港地区有根深蒂固的竞争性应试文化,对课程前后评估的定量和定性数据的分析表明,教师的态度、信心和实践发生了积极变化,特别是在使用评估标准、设计和实施方面适当的评估任务,让学习者更积极地参与评估过程,做出值得信赖的评估决定,并向学生提供有效的反馈和前馈,以改善学生的学习。本文研究的结果表明,如果教师得到很好的支持,评估文化的改变是可能的。本文还讨论了对评估改革和更普遍的教师评估素养发展的影响。Teacher assessment literacy has gained significant attention in recent years due to its critical role in learning and teaching.Various theoretical and empirical conceptualizations of this construct have been emerging with more recent emphasis on building teachers’knowledge and skills.The aim is to make highly contextualized,fair,consistent and trustworthy assessment decisions to inform learning and teaching to effectively support both student and teacher learning.This article explores changes in secondary English language teachers’assessment literacy following the introduction of school-based assessment for learning as part of high stakes secondary school assessment reform in Hong Kong.Drawing on teacher questionnaires completed by almost 4,500 teachers who undertook a common professional development course conducted over the first six years of assessment reform(2005–2011),this paper explores the impact of professional development on teachers’assessment literacy.Despite Hong Kong’s deeply ingrained competitive examinationoriented culture,an analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data from pre-and post-program evaluations demonstrate signs of positive change in teacher attitudes,confidence and practices,in particular in using assessment criteria,designing and implementing appropriate assessment tasks,involving learners more actively in the assessment process,making trustworthy assessment decisions and providing effective feedback and feed-forward to students to improve student learning.The findings of the study suggest that changes in assessment culture are possible,provided teachers are well supported.The implications for assessment reform and for the development of teacher assessment literacy more generally are also discussed.
