考试的科学性与社会性初探——基于概念辨析的视角

Discussions about the Scientific Level and Social Function of Examinations——in view of the conception discrimination

考试是测度人的身心素质差异的社会活动,兼具科学性与社会性,保持两者之间适度的平衡是考试改革顺利进展的必要条件。考试科学性的提高一是取决于考试技术的进步,二是取决于社会性期待保持在一定的程度而缩短考试与测验的距离。

Examinations are social activities which test the differences of man's physical and mental quality, and they embody scientific levels and provide social function. The moderate balance between scientific levels and social function is the necessity for the smooth development of examinations.That examinations are more scientific depends on the improvement of examination techniques and on the social expectations to some extent so as to shorten the distance between examinations and tests.
