Abstract

Recently, the issue of teachers’ assessment literacy has been brought under the fierce discussion among scholars all over the world. Some research is intended to explore the concept and components of teachers’ assessment literacy and others are intended to propose its framework and the level of assessment literacy among the teachers from a certain level of schools. While the existing researches are mainly on the exploration of the assessment literacy among Chinese teachers from secondary schools, this research intends to explore the level of assessment literacy among teachers from levels of Chinese schools, ranging from primary schools to universities. It also intends to explore the correlation between teachers’ background information as well as their academic experience and the level of their assessment literacy. This research will provide a practical significance to teachers’ training and development.
