The Study Of Scientific Inquiry Questions In The Physical Test Papers Of Senior High School Entrance Examination

Students" ability in Scientific Inquiring is one of important abilities under the new curriculum in our country.This paper intends to study the science inquiry questions of senior high school entrance examination nearly ten years in Fuzhou.This study's main ideas as follows:Study one:Collating the data about the examination papers of Fuzhou in the past ten years to explore the overall situation of scientific exploration.Study two:Based on the analysis of scientific exploration questions, the elements of scientific exploration and basic requirements in the test had been analyzed.Study three:Take the examination paper of 2014 for instance to analysis the consistency between the physical items of scientific exploration and Curriculum Standard on the two aspects of learning level and "inquiry entries".The main research conclusions are summarized as follows:(1) In recent ten years, the questions" amount, item types and full scores of scientific exploration test questions present steadily. The physical items of scientific exploration just involve in the twenty experiments that students have to do, which listed in the "Curriculum Standard" in Fuzhou.Then the research discovered that four experiments were always checked in papers.(2) The physical items of scientific exploration such as "designing experiments and making plan" "experimenting and collecting evidence" "analysis and demonstration" were often presented, the proportions are 21%,31%,36% respective. It is different in checking explorative ability in each element of scientific exploration.(3)The highest consistency coefficient between items of scientific exploration and "Curriculum Standard" was in 2008(P=0.578),the lowest was in 2013(P=0.303);On the other hand, the consistency coefficient between items of scientific exploration and "exploration entries" is increased year by year, in recent ten year of the senior high school entrance examination, the highest was in 2015(0.444), the lowest was in 2008(0.044).(4)Overall, the new "Curriculum Standard" was not completely overturned the "Curriculum Standard" of 2001 version in the course content The items of scientific exploration are more and more attention to check the relevant knowledge which request students to learn by inquiry activity in the "Curriculum Standard".
