Quality Control Procedures in the Scoring, Equating, and Reporting of Test Scores

There is significant potential for error in long production processes that consist of sequential stages, each of which is heavily dependent on the previous stage, such as the SER (Scoring, Equating, and Reporting) process. Quality control procedures are required in order to monitor this process and to reduce the number of mistakes to a minimum. In the context of this module, quality control is a formal systematic process designed to ensure that expected quality standards are achieved during scoring, equating, and reporting of test scores. The module divides the SER process into 11 steps. For each step, possible mistakes that might occur are listed, followed by examples and quality control procedures for avoiding, detecting, or dealing with these mistakes. Most of the listed quality control procedures are also relevant for Internet-delivered and scored testing. Lessons from other industries are also discussed. The motto of this module is: There is a reason for every mistake. If you can identify the mistake, you can identify the reason it happened and prevent it from recurring.     

HSK初中等听力理解试题的语用分析

语用学中关于显义、蕴涵、预设、命题态度等概念,为研究语言交际中意义的准确理解提供了一个全新的角度,应用它们分析HSK（初中等）听力理解部分的考试题,可以更好地把握该类试题的命题意图和要求,也可以为HSK考前辅导提供一个较好切入点。     

中国汉语水平考试对汉语作为第二语言教学的反拨效应

本文是对中国汉语水平考试(HSK)反拨效应的一次探索性研究的阶段性成果。文章首先介绍了反拨效应的相关概念和理论,指出了语言测试和语言教学密不可分的关系,应该重视语言测试对语言教学的反拨效应;其次,从目标、内容和方法三个方面着重探讨了语言测试是怎样影响语言教师的教学活动,分析了语言测试产生负面反拨效应的主客观原因;最后,通过调查问卷的方法,深入调查HSK对汉语作为第二语言教学活动的正面反拨效应和负面反拨效应,进而根据相关文献和本次调查研究结果,对如何提高语言测试的正面反拨效应、减少负面反拨效应提出一些建议。     

NCME 2008 Presidential Address: The Impact of Anchor Test Configuration on Student Proficiency Rates

Examined in this study were the effects of reducing anchor test length on student proficiency rates for 12 multiple‐choice tests administered in an annual, large‐scale, high‐stakes assessment. The anchor tests contained 15 items, 10 items, or five items. Five content representative samples of items were drawn at each anchor test length from a small universe of items in order to investigate the stability of equating results over anchor test samples. The operational tests were calibrated using the one‐parameter model and equated using the mean b‐value method. The findings indicated that student proficiency rates could display important variability over anchor test samples when 15 anchor items were used. Notable increases in this variability were found for some tests when shorter anchor tests were used. For these tests, some of the anchor items had parameters that changed somewhat in relative difficulty from one year to the next. It is recommended that anchor sets with more than 15 items be used to mitigate the instability in equating results due to anchor item sampling. Also, the optimal allocation method of stratified sampling should be evaluated as one means of improving the stability and precision of equating results.     

Psychometric Properties of Raw and Scale Scores on Mixed‐Format Tests

This paper illustrates that the psychometric properties of scores and scales that are used with mixed‐format educational tests can impact the use and interpretation of the scores that are reported to examinees. Psychometric properties that include reliability and conditional standard errors of measurement are considered in this paper. The focus is on mixed‐format tests in situations for which raw scores are integer‐weighted sums of item scores. Four associated real‐data examples include (a) effects of weights associated with each item type on reliability, (b) comparison of psychometric properties of different scale scores, (c) evaluation of the equity property of equating, and (d) comparison of the use of unidimensional and multidimensional procedures for evaluating psychometric properties. Throughout the paper, and especially in the conclusion section, the examples are related to issues associated with test interpretation and test use.

Working with Atypical Samples

Thanks to COVID-19, schools were closed and tests were canceled. The result is that we may not see test-taking data typically seen before. For some analyses, sample sizes may not meet the minimum requirement. For others, the sample of test-takers may be different from previous years. In some situation, there may be no data at all. What do we do in these and other similar situations? Several ideas are presented in this article. Directions are suggested for not only dealing with challenges like this but also preparing for them.     

汉语水平考试与《国际汉语能力标准》挂钩研究报告

汉语水平考试(筒称HSK)是考查考生在生活、学习和工作中运用汉语进行交际的能力的国际性考试。HSK从1984年开始研制,1990年在国内正式组织实施,1991年推向海外。《国际汉语能力标准》由国家汉办于2007年颁布,是适应各国汉语教学需求而制定的,是指导国际汉语教学的纲领性文件。作为两大汉语能力标准,它们之间是怎样的关系?本报告采取定性和定量研究相结合的方法,在组织了883名考生参加HSK考试及近100名专家及教师进行相关研讨的基础上,给出了两者之间的对应关系。
