大学英语口语测试体系的建构与思考     

李敏 《洛阳师范学院学报》2008,27(4):148-151

随着全国大学英语教学改革的启动和《大学英语课程教学要求》的颁布,海南师范大学对大学英语测试体系进行了改革,将口语测试纳入每学期的期末考试。分析2006级非英语专业大学生已参加的大学英语(一)(二)(三)的口试,发现口试的话题能够联系学生的生活,但有些试题馈入方式缺乏真实情景,输出形式缺乏交互性,评分标准存在不足。针对以上情况,改进完善大学英语口语测试体系应当在考试设计方面体现交际性,在口语测试效度方面应避免考生背答案现象,提高测试的评分信度,设计客观的评分标准。  相似文献   

Mean Effects of Test Accommodations for ELLs and Non‐ELLs: A Meta‐Analysis of Experimental Studies     

Maria Pennock‐Roman  Charlene Rivera 《Educational Measurement》2011,30(3):10-28

The objective was to examine the impact of different types of accommodations on performance in content tests such as mathematics. The meta‐analysis included 14 U.S. studies that randomly assigned school‐aged English language learners (ELLs) to test accommodation versus control conditions or used repeated measures in counter‐balanced order. Individual effect sizes (Glass's d) were calculated for 50 groups of ELLs and 32 groups of non‐ELLs. Individual effect sizes for English language and native language accommodations were classified into groups according to type of accommodation and timing conditions. Means and standard errors were calculated for each category. The findings suggest that accommodations that require extra printed materials need generous time limits for both the accommodated and unaccommodated groups to ensure that they are effective, equivalent in scale to the original test, and therefore more valid owing to reduced construct‐irrelevant variance. Computer‐administered glossaries were effective even when time limits were restricted. Although the Plain English accommodation had very small average effect sizes, inspection of individual effect sizes suggests that it may be much more effective for ELLs at intermediate levels of English language proficiency. For Spanish‐speaking students with low proficiency in English, the Spanish test version had the highest individual effect size (+1.45).  相似文献   

Predicting College Performance of American Indians: A Large‐Sample Examination of the SAT          下载免费PDF全文

Siwen Shu  Nathan R. Kuncel  Paul R. Sackett 《Educational Measurement》2017,36(2):24-33

Extensive research has examined the validity and fairness of standardized tests in academic admissions. However, due to their underrepresentation in higher education, American Indians have gained much less attention in this research. In the present study, we examined for American Indian students (1) group differences on SAT scores, (2) the predictive and incremental validity of SAT over high school grades, (3) the effect of socioeconomic status on SAT validity, (4) differential prediction in the use of SAT scores, and (5) potential omitted variables that could explain differential prediction for American Indian students. Results provided evidence of predictive and incremental validity of SAT scores, and the validity of SAT scores was largely independent of socioeconomic status. Overprediction was found when using SAT scores to predict college performance and it was reduced when including high school grades as an additional predictor. This study provides substantial evidence of the validity and fairness of SAT scores for American Indians.  相似文献   

Digital ITEMS Module 1: Reliability in Classical Test Theory          下载免费PDF全文

Charlie Lewis  Michael Chajewski  André A. Rupp 《Educational Measurement》2018,37(2):71-72

In this ITEMS module, we provide a two‐part introduction to the topic of reliability from the perspective of classical test theory (CTT). In the first part, which is directed primarily at beginning learners, we review and build on the content presented in the original didactic ITEMS article by Traub and Rowley (1991). Specifically, we discuss the notion of reliability as an intuitive everyday concept to lay the foundation for its formalization as a reliability coefficient via the basic CTT model. We then walk through the step‐by‐step computation of key reliability indices and discuss the data collection conditions under which each is most suitable. In the second part, which is directed primarily at intermediary learners, we present a distribution‐centered perspective on the same content. We discuss the associated assumptions of various CTT models ranging from parallel to congeneric, and review how these affect the choice of reliability statistics. Throughout the module, we use a customized Excel workbook with sample data and basic data manipulation functionalities to illustrate the computation of individual statistics and to allow for structured independent exploration. In addition, we provide quiz questions with diagnostic feedback as well as short videos that walk through sample exercises within the workbook.  相似文献

Understanding Examinees’ Responses to Items: Implications for Measurement     

Susan E. Embretson 《Educational Measurement》2016,35(3):6-22

Examinees' thinking processes have become an increasingly important concern in testing. The responses processes aspect is a major component of validity, and contemporary tests increasingly involve specifications about the cognitive complexity of examinees' response processes. Yet, empirical research findings on examinees' cognitive processes are not often available either to provide evidence for validity or to guide the design or selection of items. In this article, studies and developments from the author's research program are presented to illustrate how empirical studies on examinees' thinking processes can impact item and test design.  相似文献   

Assessing a Critical Aspect of Construct Continuity When Test Specifications Change or Test Forms Deviate from Specifications     

Jinghua Liu  Neil J. Dorans 《Educational Measurement》2013,32(1):15-22

We make a distinction between two types of test changes: inevitable deviations from specifications versus planned modifications of specifications. We describe how score equity assessment (SEA) can be used as a tool to assess a critical aspect of construct continuity, the equivalence of scores, whenever planned changes are introduced to testing programs. We also report on how SEA can be used as a quality control check to evaluate whether tests developed to a static set of specifications remain within acceptable tolerance levels with respect to equatability.  相似文献
