提高考试分数可解释性研究——基于我国教育考试标准研制的思考

Research on Raising the Test Score Interpretability

分数处理是教育考试标准中的一项重要内容。经过科学处理,考试分数可以承载丰富且令人信服的信息,具备更高的可解释性。提高考试分数的可解释性,既需合理确定所选用考试分数的类型,选取恰当的分数解释形式,充分挖掘考试分数中蕴藏的信息;又需具备必要的保障条件,包括必要的信度、效度、公平性和清晰界定的构念等。

Test score interpretation is an important part in testing standards. After being appropriately transformed and interpreted, the test score can carry richer information, become more convincing, and enjoy higher interpretability. To raise the test score interpretability, a series of guarantee conditions are needed: high reliability,validity, fairness, clear construct definition, and so on. A suitable choice should be made between the scale score and the cut-off score, and a wise decision has to be made about the way of interpreting test scores. In addition to that, further research should be conducted to enrich the information in test scores.
