Research On The Alignment Between Entrance Examination Of Senior Physics Paper And The Curriculum Standards

In recent years, the Curriculum Standards-based Curriculum Reform has been progressed all over the world, and China has also conducted a comprehensive review, perfect carding amendment and improvement of the Curriculum Standard. Based on it, the eighth Basic Education Reform, which consists of innovation of curriculum standard, textbooks, teaching and examination and so on has also been progressed. To improve the quality of teaching, study on the alignment between curriculum standard, teaching content and the evaluation of examination are becoming an important topic in the field of reform. Under this background, the study focuses on the alignment between senior high school examination of physics and content standard for the subject of physics in junior high school.Based on the analysis of the current research tools for alignment, this thesis takes the formula of SEC and Weber’s analysis model as a reference to judge the alignment between the senior high school entrance examination papers with curriculum standards through quantitative analysis. Also,it takes 60 physical exam papers,which are selected from 30 capital cities (including municipalities) of 2013 and 2014 as the objects, analyse the alignments from the perspective of overall, content and cognitive consistency. Furthermore, it has selected physical exam papers of Nanjing, Wuhan and Lanzhou to analyze the alignments from the aspects of kind, depth, breadth the distribution of the balance of knowledge with the reference of Weber’s analysis model.The results are mainly as follows:the overall alignment is very low between the 60 papers and curriculum standards. The " substance’s form and state change " "mechanical motion", and "work and energy " is lower than the curriculum standards, it better meets the requirements about "property of matter" and "sound and light" while the tests of " force " and " electricity and magnetism " is higher than the requirements from the aspects of contents. On the cognitive dimension, physical exam is lower than curriculum standards at the level of understanding while it is higher at the lever of awareness and comprehensiveness. It can be concluded that the overall cognitive alignments is low and the test is too difficult. It has been found from the research of the alignments between physical exam papers of Nanjing, Wuhan and Lanzhou and curriculum standards that the alignment of Nanjing is higher than that of the other two. Finally, this thesis conducted attribution analysis based on the results and give recommendations to improve the alignments between curriculum standards and academic evaluationCoherence research surveys the evaluation item from the perspective of revaluation and detects the coherence level of curriculum standards and evaluation items. Introducing coherence analysis program into practical teaching can improve the validity and directivity of evaluation and play a role of debug for the operation of physics courses. It is a good way to optimize the teaching, promote the development of teachers and improve the quality of education.
