基于考生主观感受问卷的高考试题效度研究——以2007年天津市市区考生调查问卷为例

本文在对效度概念进行清晰界定的基础上,提出了基于高考考生主观感受对于高考试题效度证据积累的构想。该研究从实证角度出发,以经过项目分析及信、效度检验的"天津市高考考生作答试卷主观感受问卷"为工具,对2007年天津市市区考生的主观感受数据进行了采集、统计、分析,与实际测试成绩进行了对照,得出相应的结论。该研究的局限性在于还未形成数据模型,但从考生的主观感受入手,对高考效度证据积累方面做了部分有益的尝试。

2012-2014年江苏省高考英语阅读理解内容效度分析

依据Bachman和Palmer的考试任务特征框架,结合《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试大纲(课程标准实验版)》(以下简称《考试大纲》)、《普通高中英语课程标准》(实验)(以下简称《课程标准》)及《2012-2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(江苏卷)说明》(以下简称《考试说明》),重点从语篇输入和预期回答两个角度对江苏省2012年至2014年高考英语阅读理解试题进行了内容效度的定量与定性分析研究。研究表明:这三年的阅读理解试题基本符合《考试大纲》和《考试说明》的要求,具有较高的内容效度,表现为体裁多样,题材广泛,整体难度适中,考查阅读技能覆盖面广;同时仍有需要改进之处:如各年阅读理解D篇篇章字数明显偏长,对考生阅读速度要求偏高,2014年阅读篇章整体偏难,说明文常年以科普为题材易使教师和学生产生思维定势,篇章的题材在分布上不够平衡,历史、地理类题材篇章在近三年试卷中均未涉及,阅读技能的考查在题量的分布上极不平衡,近三年主旨大意题中忽视考查学生理解篇章的宏观结构和文脉逻辑关系的能力。最后,提出关于阅读理解试题命制及高中英语教学的一些建议。

How valid are student perceptions of teaching quality across education systems?

In an international context, teaching quality is often assessed via student surveys. Yet, there is little empirical evidence for the validity of students' perceptions of teaching quality across education systems. Following an argumentative validation approach, we evaluate the reliability, stability, and international comparability of students' perceptions of teaching quality as well as their predictivity on student outcomes. Based on longitudinal data from six education systems our main findings include that student perceptions of teaching quality are 1) reliable on the class level, 2) stable between two measurements, and 3) metric invariant across education systems, yet 4) their effects on achievement, interest, and self-efficacy vary between the aspects of teaching quality and education systems. Our study provides first substantial empirical findings for the validity of student perceptions across education systems and points towards culture-specific differences in the effectiveness of teaching.     

Assessing Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care

Evaluating quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) service internationally is increasingly important. Research to date indicates that it is ‘high-quality’ programmes that boost and sustain children's achievement outcomes over time. There is also growing interest in the accountability of public funds used for ECEC programmes and the types of measures that assess ECEC quality. This article reviews eleven existing instruments that were designed to assess global ECEC programmes and examines them in terms of their strengths and weaknesses as quality measurement tools and the adequacy of the measures to sufficiently reflect the context and purposes of the assessment. Through this process the authors identify directions for the development of new measures that are both theoretically and psychometrically sound.     

Validity Consideration in Designing an Oral English Test

To make oral test accurately reflect the actual English spoken ability of candidates and play its role in guiding and promoting the improvement of English learners in the teaching, we must ensure that the design of scientific questions, the feasibility and validity of judgments to make an accurate and fair measurement of testers’ language ability.
