ABSTRACT

Over the past forty years since the reform and opening up, China's moral education evaluation paradigm has experienced a historical evolution from the subjective experience paradigm to the scientistic paradigm to the humanistic constructive paradigm. This paper mainly reflects on the scientism-oriented moral education evaluation paradigm and summarizes the five characteristics of its shift to humanistic construction, that is, the evaluation hypothesis from "objectivist epistemology" to "constructivism epistemology", the value basis from "monistic value" to "multiple value", evaluation criteria have moved from "quantitative and management-oriented criteria" to "qualitative and multi-subject needs-oriented criteria", the evaluation method has changed from "empirical method" to "construction method", and the evaluation result has changed from "identification" to "improvement".
