项目摘要

As the preliminary to the whole research project, an analytical framework was developed for test item specification. This framework specifies characteristics of an item in two main aspects, i.e. task types and response types, and also details its other features such as rubrics and the skill(s) being tested. Furthermore, for the multiple-choice questions, the response type is further analyzed in terms of choices and the number (and order) of choices to an item. In developing this framework, we collected 2,944 English test items from entrance examinations of 109 randomly-selected Japanese universities and also from three versions of the National Center Test, an achievement test developed and administered by the National Center for University Entrance Examinations. These test items were used to determine the applicability of our framework. Since we found a wider than expected variety of task types and response types, necessary modifications were made so that the framework would be applica … More ble in the Japanese EFL context. Employing this revised framework, the same set of items were analyzed, yielding a prototypical database of English test items in university entrance examinations in Japan. This database reveals some general tendencies. For instance, despite a recent shift to more communicative language teaching, a "skills and components" model of language tests is clearly still dominant in university entrance examinations. In addition, although it would be desirable to make use of the wider variety of task types which are available, conventional varieties are still being used in the testing of reading and writing skills.Simultaneously, another test item database, viz. the database of the National Center Test items with statistical information fully provided, was employed to elucidate (i) qualitative characteristics of items which displayed unique statistical tendencies, and, by IRT-based equating of different versions of the National Center Test, (ii) changes in academic achievements of Japanese EFL learners at the time of university admission.

作为整个研究项目的前期工作，开发了测试项目规范的分析框架。该框架在两个主要方面指定了项目的特征，即任务类型和响应类型，并且还详细说明了其其他特征，例如评分标准和所测试的技能。此外，对于多项选择题，进一步根据选项和选项的数量（和顺序）来分析答案类型。在开发这个框架时，我们从 109 所随机选择的日本大学的入学考试以及国家中心考试（由国家大学入学考试中心开发和管理的成绩测试）的三个版本中收集了 2,944 个英语测试项目。这些测试项目用于确定我们框架的适用性。由于我们发现任务类型和响应类型的种类比预期的要广泛，因此进行了必要的修改，以便该框架能够在日本 EFL 环境中应用。利用这个修订后的框架，对同一组项目进行了分析，产生了日本大学入学考试英语测试项目的原型数据库。该数据库揭示了一些普遍趋势。例如，尽管最近转向了更具交际性的语言教学，但“技能和组成部分”的语言测试模式显然仍然在大学入学考试中占据主导地位。此外，尽管希望利用更广泛的可用任务类型，但在阅读和写作技能的测试中仍在使用传统的任务类型。同时，另一个测试项目数据库，即。国家中心考试项目的数据库提供了完整的统计信息，用于阐明（i）显示出独特统计趋势的项目的质量特征，并且通过基于IRT的不同版本的国家中心考试的等同化，（ii）日本英语学习者在大学入学时学业成绩的变化。较少的
