Evidenced-based Educational Reform Supported by Education Quality Monitoring: China’s Exploration and Experience

Abstract

In China’s educational community, there is a consensus that any decision-making or advance in reform must be based on scientific evidence. It has been realized that the traditional instruction modalities that draw on educators’ personal experience have become ineffective in accomplishing better education in the new era. In this context, China’s educational administrators have been committed to constructing an evidence-based system to enable reform in education.
