本文区分了两种类型的材料评估：旨在决定使用哪些材料的预测性评估，以及旨在检查要使用的材料的回溯性评估，以及旨在检查实际使用的材料的回溯性评估。回溯性评估可以是印象主义的，也可以是经验主义的。教师可以通过调查具体的教学任务来进行实证性评价。描述了用于进行任务评估的过程。最后，笔者认为，任务评价是一种行动研究，有助于教学中的反思性实践。
This article distinguishes two types of materials evaluation: a predictive evaluation designed to make a decision regarding what materials to use, and a retrospective evaluation designed to examine materials to use, and a retrospective evaluation designed to examine materials that have actually been used. Retrospective evaluations can be impressionistic or empirical. It is suggested that one way in which teachers can conduct empirical evaluations is by investigating specific teaching tasks. A procedure for conducting a task evaluation is described. Finally, it is suggested that task evaluations constitute a kind of action research that can contribute to reflective practice in teaching.
