Examination of Indices of High School Performance Based on the Graded Response Model

We examined summary indices of high school performance (coursework, grades, and test scores) based on the graded response model (GRM). The indices varied by inclusion of ACT test scores and whether high school courses were constrained to have the same difficulty and discrimination across groups of schools. The indices were examined with respect to skewness, incremental prediction of college degree attainment, and differences across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic subgroups. The most difficult high school courses to earn an “A” grade included calculus, chemistry, trigonometry, other advanced math, physics, algebra 2, and geometry. The GRM‐based indices were less skewed than simple high school grade point average (HSGPA) and had higher correlations with ACT Composite score. The index that included ACT test scores and allowed item parameters to vary by school group was most predictive of college degree attainment, but had larger subgroup differences. Implications for implementing multiple measure models for college readiness are discussed.     

元情绪对高一学生学习适应性及成绩的影响

采用特质性元情绪问卷（TMMS）和学习适应性测验（AAT）对328名高一学生进行元情绪与学习适应性调查。结果表明：高一学生元情绪总分及情绪注意、辨别与恢复三维度得分居于中等以上水平,且均无性别差异和生源地差异。高一学生元情绪与学习适应性及学业成绩呈正相关,其中,情绪恢复维度与学习适应性及学业成绩的相关较大,情绪辨别维度次之,情绪注意维度仅与学业适应性相关且相关较小,学习适应是元情绪与学习成绩的中介变量。建议在学业辅导与心理教育中加强对元情绪的发展。

高中生情绪智力与学业成绩的关系研究

为了探究高中生情绪智力的发展现状以及情绪智力与学业成绩的关系,本研究使用问卷调查法,采用整群随机抽样的方法,对342名高中生的情绪智力和学业成绩进行调查研究。结果表明:高中生的整体情绪智力发展处于中高等水平,但是情绪智力的八个因子发展不平衡。整体的情绪智力与学业成绩存在显著正相关,情绪智力各因子与学业成绩的相关模式不同,而且各个因子对学业成绩的预测力不同。据此,可以通过针对性的培训,提高高中生的情绪智力,从而提高他们的学习成绩。

Academic Outcomes of Ability Grouping Among Junior High School Students in Hong Kong

Abstract

Ability grouping is supposedly undesirable because it leads to deficits in academic self-concept and academic achievement. However, it appears to be justifiable for its improvement of teaching and learning in schools, perhaps more so in a collectivist culture. In view of the paucity of data examining the controversy in Hong Kong, the authors collected data from 2,720 junior high school students with a random sampling procedure and obtained teachers' reports about the students' subsequent academic achievement, ability grouping, and the ability level of the class. The authors maintained students' past academic achievement as a control variable in predicting their subsequent academic achievement and self-concepts. Results revealed no significant detrimental effect caused by the ability-grouped class and the ability level of the ability-grouped class. Rather, students in classes that were more homogeneous according to past academic achievement tended to have significantly higher subsequent academic achievement and self-esteem. Results revealed no variation attributable to each student's gender and IQ in the effects of ability grouping.     

高中生考试焦虑和学业自我效能与人格特征的相关研究

用问卷法对福州市三所普通中学的524名高中生被试的学业自我效能感、考试焦虑和人格特征状况进行了测查,发现:(1)高中生被试的总体考试焦虑状况不容乐观;(2)学业自我效能、考试焦虑和人格特征这三者之间均两两存在显著性相关;(3)从三者的路径分析图可以看出,N神经质和E外向通过影响数学学业自我效能间接影响高中生被试的考试焦虑;E外向还通过影响语言学业自我效能间接影响高中生被试的考试焦虑。     

Universal Design for Learning: Preparing Secondary Education Teachers in Training to Increase Academic Accessibility of High School English Learners

Although the concept of universal design for learning (UDL) is well understood in the world of architecture and in the area of special education, its use to increase the academic performance of high school English learners (ELs) is not widely explored. To reduce this void, this article presents an overview of the UDL concept and its principles, applies UDL to classroom instruction and assessment of high school ELs, and offers suggestions on how UDL can be infused in preparation programs for secondary education teachers. This article also provides an example of how a school system has integrated UDL into its educational framework to increase academic accessibility for all.

我国高中学业水平考试的实践困境与制度审思

普通高中学业水平考试是为适应新课程改革而建立的一项大型教育考试制度,对推动课程、教学及高考制度改革均具有重要的现实意义.但在实施过程中,普遍存在认识不足、考试失范、分数绩效作用不大等诸多问题,陷入考试与评价“形式主义”的现实窘境.究其原因,一方面,我国现行高考制度的强势性影响是主因,另一方面,学业水平考试本身的性质定位、功能定向、建模形态等也存在偏失,需要进行理性检视.应从完善“国家课程测验”制度立法、建立专业机构、克服考试形式主义和高中教育功利主义倾向等层面对其进行制度反思,建立明确的考试标准、提高测查工具的专业化水平、增强绩效分数的权威性和应用性,加强组织管理的规范性等.

Thoughts on a Multidimensional Middle School Index of College Readiness

The findings of the Gaertner and McClarty article (2015) raised awareness on two extremely important topics related to college readiness: First, to effect change, we must measure students' progression towards college readiness throughout their K‐12 career rather than just at the culmination of high school. Second, college readiness encompasses more than academic preparation, and indices can be designed to weight additional factors according to their prediction of readiness. The reply by Lazowski, Barron, Kosovich, and Hulleman (this issue) added to the conversation by raising important issues around the measurement of motivation. In this reply, we provide our own thoughts on college and career readiness and offer ideas for additional work to further the development of college and career readiness indices.
