Abstract
Education a human activity aimed at promoting all-round growth of the individuals, is an inherently complicated process. Education assessment, an essential component of the process, plays a crucial role in ensuring the healthy development of the educational system (Yang, 2007). Effective education assessment is based on objective descriptions of the characteristics and details of the educational activity in examination. The scales can serve as objective, accurate, and valid tools for this purpose (Luo et al., 2009). As a means of quantitative evaluation, a scale can systematically gather, organize, and analyze relevant data on a specific educational activity using a set of established metrics, for the purposes of providing educators with intuitive information on student learning outcomes, teaching efficacy, curricular effectiveness, and the legitimacy of educational resource distribution. Such a data-informed assessment instrument can facilitate decision-makers identifying strengthens and weaknesses in current educational practices as well as making evidence-based adjustments of educational policies (Yan, 2003).
