2004高考(上海卷)地理科考试评价

Evaluation on Geography Test of College Entrance Exams for Year 2004 in Shanghai

2004年高考(上海卷)地理试卷包含两大部分:选择题和综合分析题。选择题部分共20题,每题2分,计40分。综合分析题部分有八大题,34个小题, 110个得分点。主要从经典的试题分析、考试结果的信度、考试效度的内容和结构方面的证据以及考试对教育教学的影响等几个角度对地理考试进行评价,得出下列结论:地理考试的能力目标是根据课程标准制定的,命题以课程标准为依据,难度略偏易,有一定的区分度;试卷的题量适中;选择题与非选择题比例适中,对学校的教育和教学有较好的导向作用。然而,综合分析题部分图文信息阅读量较大,应答文字表述较少,难以比较系统地考查考生独立的地理思维能力,这对教学的导向是不利的。

The Geography Test consist of two parts, Multiple-Choice with 20 items and Integrated Analysis with 34 items. The evaluation is made in view of classical item analysis, reliability estimate, validation as well as the impact and wash-back of the test on the schools education and teaching. The test content evidences show that seven geographical abilities can be inferred from the measurement. The test is relatively easy but reliable. The measurement objectives of the test are consistent with those of Geography Course Standard. The requirement of the Standard has been taken account of during the process of test development. The test has relatively high difficulty coefficient, adequate total item number as well as reasonable numbers of multiple-choice and integrated analysis items. All these impose a positive impact and wash-back on the schools geographical education and teaching. However, the maps, graphs and tables of some integrated items contain too much information the test takers are supposed to get. Meanwhile, the questions ask the examinees to express very few in written forms. Obviously, it could reduce the effects of the test measuring the test takers' systematic and independent cognitive abilities. Perhaps it will wash back negatively on the geographical teaching in the middle schools.
