摘要
构想效度(construct validity)一直是效度研究的核心问题,本文对中国汉语水平考试(HSK[高等])和实用汉语水平认定考试(C.TEST)的构想效度进行了探讨。文章首先梳理了这两种考试的构想模型,并初步提出了操作性定义。研究样本为550名同时参加了这两种考试的考生,我们使用因素分析法对所得数据进行分析。结果显示,目前我们只能有把握地说,这两种考试都测到了考生的“阅读理解”能力,对其他能力的检验本文还不能给出明确的结论。
Construct Validity is always the core of the research on the validity. This paper makes a comparison between HSK and C.TEST in terms of the construct validity. First, We put in order the construct models of the two tests and then put forward the operating definition preliminarily. There are 550 test takers who took the two tests in the same day. We use factor analysis to analyze the data. The result of the study indicates that we can only say confidently at present that the "reading comprehension competence" is tested in both tests. We can not yet get any clear conclusions of other competence.
