电脑化阅读诊断测试的实验研究

An experimental study of computerized diagnostic testing of reading,

计算机技术的进步和英语测试的发展使电脑化诊断测试研究成为目前较为迫切的任务之一 ,我国这方面的研究尚未系统展开 ,鉴于这一情况 ,我们运用实验方法 ,通过构思总体模式、分析阅读的本质、命题、施测、收集并分析数据、构思诊断报告的结构和生成、解决测试所涉及的理论和技术问题等一系列工作 ,从阅读的角度探讨了电脑化诊断测试的总体框架、一般过程、重要环节和技术要求。本研究的目的在于系统地探讨电脑化诊断测试的特点 ,为以后的深入研究铺平道路 ,因此除了报告实验的结果和指出本研究的局限性外 ,也对以后的研究提出了一些参照性意见。

The advancement of computer technology and English testing has elevated researches in computerized diagnostic testing to an urgency which has not been dealt with systematically, though, in practice, diagnostic testing has been increasingly incorporated into a variety of computer aided instruction and learning softwares. Thus we conducted an experimental study which was composed of a series of tasks like designing a general model, analyzing reading ability, writing test items, administrating tests, collecting and processing data, constructing an algorism for generating diagnostic reports, and solving theoretical as well as technical problems concerned. In fact, we explored the general framework and process, essential procedures and technological requirements of computerized diagnostic testing of reading.
