Abstract: Under the background of the“four new”initiative, the traditional summative evaluation is difficult to meet the requirements of higher education for the cultivation of compound and innovative talents. Based on the teaching practice of a certain university, this paper integrates the core essence of the OBE(Outcome-Based Education) educational concept and the educational evaluation reform plan, and constructs a five-dimensional course formative evaluation system of“evaluation concept - evaluation index - evaluation method - evaluation subject - feedback mechanism”. This system emphasizes“student-centered, outcome-oriented, continuous improvement”, pays attention to the diversification and process of evaluation indicators, strengthens the supporting role of information technology, and establishes a closed-loop management mechanism of“evaluation - feedback - improvement”. Practice shows that this system is helpful to stimulate students'learning initiative, promote teachers'teaching reflection and course optimization, and provide a feasible path for local universities to improve course evaluation and enhance talent cultivation quality under the“four new”context.
