II. Teaching Evaluation
2.1 Definition of Teaching Evaluation
Teaching evaluation, is a kind of activity, which has double main bodies. Both the subject and the object have a distinct subjectivity. Some scholars think that classroom teaching evaluation is to grasp the changes of the students objectively through teaching activities so that the teachers can get the maximum education effect (Li 374). In addition, other scholars think that the classroom teaching evaluation is a process, which includes collecting information, integrating information and analysis of the information (Luo 24). It is also a process to understand the students’ skills level and development potential. By collecting students’ information of daily learning and information of teacher’s teaching and classroom learning, teachers can understand each student’s learning and make corresponding decision. Through this way, it can improve the classroom efficiency.

Teachers can make value judgment on the basis of the collected information.

2.2 Classification of Teaching Evaluation
What are evaluation and assessment for? Evaluation is often for authorities who would want to know whether the money they spent or the policy change has had good results. Assessment is for teachers and learners, for them to not only know how well they have done but also where they have done well and where they need more efforts. Assessment is often pided into summative assessment and formative assessment. Summative assessment is mainly based on the testing. It is mostly done at the end of a learning period or the end of a school year. Formative assessment is based on the information collected in the classroom during the teaching process for the purpose of improving teaching and learning, therefore, it is sometimes termed as classroom assessment as well (Black 25). Putting summative assessment and formative assessment together, we will be able to form a sound basis for checking teachers’ teaching and students’ learning.
