听力测试中的预习理解题提出了构念效度问题:这种测试方法如何影响测试结果?一项对听力理解结构的研究表明,问题预习可以通过集中注意力或提供有关文本的信息来积极地影响理解,也可以通过干扰主观理解过程、增加注意力负担或施加浅层加工来消极地影响理解。或者,它可能没有显著的效果。预测了每种可能性对测试结果的定量影响和对召回率的定性影响。在这项研究中,78名受试者参加了四种不同版本的听力测试,一种在听力之前有问题,一种在听力之后有问题,一种在两段听力之间有问题,另一种没有问题。研究对象还完成了问卷调查,以引出对每个版本的反应,并在一周后自由回忆他们所听到的内容。回忆的结果是不确定的,但在测试中,“三明治”版本产生的正确答案明显更多。问卷调查结果显示,被试认为三明治版本最有助于理解,但也对预习问题表现出强烈的情感依恋。结论是,预习题似乎比实际更有帮助。
Previewed comprehension questions in listening tests pose questions of construct validity: how does this test method affect the test results? An examination of the construct of listening comprehension suggests that question preview may affect comprehension positively by focusing the attention or supplying information about the text, or negatively by interfering with subjective comprehension processes, increasing the burden on the attention or imposing shallower processing. Alterna tively it may have no significant effect. The quantitative effect on test results and the qualitative effect on recall were predicted for each possibility. In the study, 78 subjects took listening tests in four different versions, one with questions before, one with questions after, one with questions sandwiched between two hear ings and one with no questions. Subjects also completed questionnaires designed to elicit reactions to each version and, a week later, wrote a free recall of what they had heard. Results from the recall were inconclusive but in the tests the `sandwich' version produced significantly more correct answers. Questionnaire responses indicated that subjects felt the sandwich version facilitated comprehen sion most, but also showed a strong affective attachment to previewed questions. It is concluded that previewed questions seem more helpful than they really are.
