在短期汉语教学中采用自评分班的试验及其启示

Report on an Experiment with Self-Assessment as a Placement Instrument in Chinese Short-Term Programs

自评是否可以用于短期汉语项目分班是一个有待验证的问题。本文从假设、自评设计、自评与测试的相关性、换班情况等方面分析了几次自评分班的试验。结论是:自评的信度已达到客观题测试的要求,自评与测试有较高的相关性,因此,在短期汉语进修项目中有可能用自评取代测试。自评省时省力,无须监考,将提高管理工作的效率。但自评用于分班是有限制条件的。

The assumption that self-assessment can be used as a placement instrtLment in Chinese short-term programs needs to be verified. This article analyzes a series of experiments on self-assessment-based placement from several aspects, including the hypothesis, self-assessment design, correlation between self-assessment and testing, cases of class swapping, and so on. The conclusion is that the reliability of the self-assessments has met the requirements of objective test questions, and self-assessment has a satisfactory correlation with testing. Therefore, it is possible to replace testing with self-assessment in Chinese short-term programs. As self-assessment is time and energy efficient and does not need invigilation, it will make management more effective. However, self-assessment as a placement instrument should be used under restrictions.
