Integration of Technical Teaching and Assessment Based on the Four E Framework

Background

Equity in education enables every student to enjoy a bright future, and the evaluation of students' academic performance is a measure to examine and analyze the success or failure of various educational means and educational strategies. The U.S. federal government has spared no effort in promoting equitable education since the end of last century. From the Clinton administration's “Educational Excellence for All Children Act of 1999” to the current Bush administration's “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. (United States, 2001), an act introduced in the United States in 2001, has had a profound and lasting impact on early childhood education in the public education sector and preschool. Given NCLB's latest version of “Every Student Succeeds Act ”(United, 2015), ESSA could have important implications for early childhood education in the years ahead due to the Act's unprecedented emphasis on teenage and adolescent. Basically, there is no deviation from the federal government's requirement that every funded school must produce students who meet minimum academic requirements. It can even be said that the “Don't Leave Children Left Behind Act” is the latest version of the “Elementary and Secondary Education Act” (National Education Association [NEA], 2002a.

As a result of the reforms to children's services mentioned in the UK's 2003 Green Paper on Education, “Every child matters”(Great Britain. Parliament. House of, 2007), the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) has introduced the Removing barriers to achievement initiative for students with special educational needs (SEN). The basis of this bill is to require schools to improve education standards and teachers, and to enhance students' confidence to achieve the purpose of progress in collaboration.

The UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) published on 16 May 2016 ” Success as a Knowledge Economy: Teaching Excellence, Social Mobility and Student Choice “(Great Britain. Department for Business et al., 2016) (Success as a Knowledge Economy: Teaching Excellence, Social Mobility and Student Choice) Higher Education White Paper. Following the successful transformation of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) into the Research Excellence Framework (Higher Education Funding Council for, 2014), the British government has focused on the improvement of the teaching evaluation system and proposed the introduction of the “Teaching Excellence Framework”(Teaching Excellence Framework: Year two additional guidance, 2016). In addition to evaluating school performance through evaluation indicators such as student satisfaction, student retention rate (i.e., dropout rate) and employment status, the Future Teaching Excellence Framework will also incorporate other quantitative indicators, qualitative descriptions of schools, and expert peer review.
